Brands hatch race circuit - The Brands Hatch race circuit is located near Swanley in Kent, England. Initially used as a military training ground, the field that belongs to Brands farm was first used, with permission from owner Harry Write, by a group of Gravesend cyclists as a race circuit led by Ron Argent. It was then used as a dirt track motorcycle circuit where it hosted 12 runnings of the British Grand Prix between the years of 1964 and 1986. Today, the Brands Hatch Race Circuit is a venue for several British and international racing events. The name of the circuit has its origins from the Gaelic word ‘Brondehach” – “bron” which means "wooded slope" and hach meaning "forest entrance." The Brands Hatch consists of two layout configurations. The shorter 'Indy' layout is 1.198 miles in length and is located entirely within a natural amphitheatre. The lengthier 'Grand Prix' layout of 2.301 miles has been the venue of several of the Formula One racing over the years.
