Track of The Month – October 2026
Brands Hatch GP, UK
The Track of the Month for October is the famous 2.4 mile Brands Hatch GP circuit, located in Kent.
Brands Hatch is one of the UK’s most recognized racetracks, with its dips, cambers, and fearsome corners, including the infamous Paddock Hill bend, combining for some enthralling racing.
Since the circuit’s creation in 1926, Brands Hatch has been host to its fair share of Motorsport, with Formula 1, Indycar, and the British Touring Cars just to name a few.
For several years, Brands Hatch has been a venue that hosts two of the rounds for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The series uses the shorter (Indy) circuit for its first event and the longer (GP) circuit for the latter. The GP layout will once again host the finale for the 2026 season.
Come down to the Race Centre this October to give it a try for yourself!
Watch Mat Jackson set a lap record on the GP circuit back in 2015.
We hope you enjoy this fantastic circuit and the cars we have chosen!
