The Masters Historic Festival highlights Brands Hatch’s heritage as one of the world’s great Grand Prix venues, as F1 cars from the ‘70s and ‘80s scream around a classic circuit, which has changed little since they raced there in period.
Iconic machinery from McLaren, Lotus, Tyrrell, Williams and more could appear, resplendent in period liveries, as F1 cars return to the full GP loop which hosted F1 many times between 1964 and 1986. The cars will come from the sport’s 3-litre era, with many of them bringing the iconic rumble of the Cosworth DFV engine.
Making a welcome return to Brands Hatch is the Masters Endurance Legends Series, featuring GT and Sports Prototype cars that have raced at the Le Mans 24hrs in recent years.
An eclectic line-up of other historic races will be built up around the headline F1 action, including races that recreate the World Sportscar Championship races Brands Hatch hosted in the ‘60s and ‘70s, plus crowd-pleasing touring cars from the past.
