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.

 

HM Plant Honda got their season off to a flying start as Shane 'Shakey' Byrne won the opening race of the season on his return to BSB. Tommy Hill finished second despite having to take evasive action when his Swan Yamaha team-mate Michael Laverty crashed out of contention whilst Tommy Bridewell took a maiden podium finish for Tyco Honda.

In race two Hill made amends to take the victory and with it the title lead, Ryuichi Kiyonari and Byrne completed the podium to make it a double HM Plant Honda top three finish.
