Grand Prix Masters
Although the last Formula One Grand Prix held at Brands Hatch was in 1986 the Kent circuit still hosts race meetings for historic Formula One cars on the full Grand Prix circuit several times during the year. The Masters package includes Formula One cars from the 1950s all the way through to early Eighties. The sound of a group of mostly Cosworth powered, the glorious 12 cylinder BRM being an exception, Formula One cars howling down Pilgrim’s Drop is not to be missed. Of course if you are really lucky you get to stand in the pit garages as these machines are coaxed into life. To compliment this there are also classes for sports cars from the 50s and 60s, with a large collection of classic Lola T70s, a number of early McLarens and Chevrons. The eclectic mix of 1950s saloon cars produce close racing all the way down the field.
1970s Touring Cars
A welcome addition this weekend were some superb 70s touring cars with several BMW CSL “Batmobile” cars appearing along with a Ford Cologne Capri and a number of Escorts. Finally to round out the weekend Sir Stirling Moss raced in his 1500cc OSCA.
