Brands Hatch is undergoing circuit improvements this winter in preparation for 2019 with new kerb💯s and run-offs being installed.

The iconic British circuit, which hosts British Superbikes, the British Touring Car Championship and DTM, will have its run-oꦓff area at the approach to Graham Hill Bend (Turn 3) extended and raised to a consistent plane to improve safety standards. The run-off surface at the Graham Hill Bend exit is also being improved with the same work being taken out at Druids (Turn 2)🌜.

The section of track which connects the Indy circuit configuration at Clea✨rways is being resurfaced while new kerbs are being installed at Paddock Hill Bend (Tur🔜n 1).

The updates are expected to be completed before the start of the track’s 2019 motorsport action, beginning in early March, which circuit manager Mike Groves describes as a “major project🍨”.

“We're undertaking a number of improvements to the circuit over the off-season, including a major reworking of the run-off zone on the approach 𒆙to Graham Hill Bend,” Groves said.

“This major project, along with a handful of other ꦺon-track tweaks, will put us great shape ahead of what I'm sure will be a♓nother terrific season of motor racing.”

Brands Hatch’s first major motorsport event is BTCC on April 6-7 with BSB’s maiden visit to the track in 🌸2019 taking place across June 14-16.

The Kent circuit has hosted racing since 1926 and was the home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix between 1964-86 when it shared alternate hosting years with Silve♈rstone🌼.

Brands Hatch is currently an FI🌄A Grade Two circuit.
