Brands Hatch is one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world and can lay claim to being the busiest race circuit in Europe.

Having undergone a series of major improvements in recent years, the Kent circuit now attracts some of the biggest international events on the calendar. Ever since starting out as a dirt track motorcycle circuit in 1926, Brands Hatch has been characterised by its natural ampitheatre, with virtually the entire 'Indy' configuration visible from the spectator banking and grandstands.

A firm fans' favourite, Brands Hatch has also witnessed a number of significant moments in history including the epic 2011 BSB title decider.

The title decider lived up to expectation as Michael Laverty won the opening race of the weekend from Josh Brookes and John Hopkins as Tommy Hill just missed out on the podium. In race two there was drama for Hopkins as he suffered a technical failure which saw him stop then try and claw his way back through the field. Shane 'Shakey' Byrne took a commanding win with Jon Kirkham was second ahead of James Ellison as Tommy Hill having to settle for fourth.

The final race would decide the outcome of the title and as Byrne again took a dominating win Hill and Hopkins were embroiled in a final battle of supremacy. The pair swapped places throughout the final lap, but as they crossed the line Hill had the edge by 0.006 seconds for second place and that was enough to hand him the title by just two points.
