Snetterton
Open Wheel Testing - Day
The Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS returns to Brands Hatch in August following its enforced absence last season, with a mouth-watering supercar spectacular starring racing versions of some of the planet’s most exotic performance cars.
Eight brands will make the charge up to the famous Paddock Hill Bend , including returns to the short-format championship for Aston Martin, McLaren and Porsche. They join continuing marques Audi, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mercedes-AMG.
Over 25 cars are expected to take to the grid for two pulsating GT sprint races. There is a slight endurance flavour though with pit stops, strategy, and Le Mans-style driver changes.
Two headline races on the full Grand Prix circuit will top a golden weekend of motor racing with plenty of eclectic support action supplied by the classic Sports Car Club. Off-track the venue will also feature displays of supercars.
All tickets will be sent in a presentation wallet and make perfect presents. Alternatively, you can select instant e-tickets.
PLEASE NOTE: THE GRAND PRIX PADDOCK (BEHIND THE PITS) WILL NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AT THIS RACE MEETING.
IF YOU OPTED TO ROLL OVER TICKETS FROM A PREVIOUS EVENT NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED - SIMPLY BRING YOUR ORIGINAL TICKETS. IF YOU SELECTED E-TICKETS THESE CAN BE DOWNLOADED (WITH THE NEW DATE) BY LOGGING IN TO YOUR MSV ACCOUNT.
COVID-19 GUARANTEE: You can book tickets safe in the knowledge that if government restrictions prevent us being able to admit spectators, you will be entitled to a credit or full refund.

Paddock Hill grandstand provides superb views through one of Brands Hatch's most iconic bends and is an ideal location to watch the start line action, as the field jostle for position heading into the first corner. The sweeping curves of Paddock Hill and round Druids Hairpin are key places for overtaking and are often the scenes of breathtaking manoeuvres and dramatic incidents!
