Kent's Brands Hatch circuit is set for another stellar season of motorsport on two and four wheels, with a packed calendar of events lined up this year. This includes flagship international meetings, the best that top-class British motorsport has to offer, special themed festivals, and countless club-level car and bike events.

The best of British

The backbone of the Fawkham circuit's season will comprise all of the UK's leading national championships, including two dates each for the Bennetts British Superbike Championship (BSB) and Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Bennetts BSB's fixture on 21-23 July promises to be a summer showpiece, with thousands of fans camping out for the weekend as the world's finest domestic motorcycle racing series takes to the Grand Prix circuit for a triple-header of races.

The full GP loop will also host the Bennetts BSB season finale on 13-15 October, just a week after the BTCC champion is crowned following three races on the same layout (7/8 October). This year's BTCC chargers will also race on the more compact Indy circuit, with an early season clash on 6/7 May.

Super-fast automotive exotics

Leading talent from the global stage will descend upon Brands Hatch when GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS returns for a mouth-watering weekend of sumptuous supercar action on 13/14 May. MotoGP megastar Valentino Rossi will be amongst the international cast of hotshot drivers for a second year running, this time at the wheel of a BMW M4 GT3 emblazoned with his trademark #46.

Further top-flight action for machinery from prestige manufacturers like Aston Martin, Porsche and McLaren will come from the Intelligent Money British GT Championship (9/10 September), which will feature GT3 and GT4 cars fighting for class honours. This weekend will also offer visitors an opportunity to glimpse the next generation of aspiring F1 hopefuls in the GB3 Championship partnered by the BRDC and its junior feeder series, GB4.

Fun for all the family

The heavyweights of British motorsport will enter the ring twice in 2023, with two rounds of the British Truck Racing Championship. Five-tonne race trucks will star at the season opener on Easter Weekend (Sat 8/Sun 9 April) whilst the major events calendar will wrap up with the bombastic Trucks and Fireworks spectacular on Sunday 5 November.

American SpeedFest 10 meanwhile will top the summer festival season bill with two days of supercharged action headlined by NASCAR racing on 17/18 June. The super-sized event will celebrate everything that has been great about SpeedFest since it debuted ten years ago, with car displays and other family fun adding to the atmosphere.

Other returning favourites in 2023 include the popular Mini Festival (6 August), Festival Italia (13 August) and Ford Power Live (17 September). Tunerest South (11 June) and Go Japan (24 September) are back too, bringing high-powered on and off circuit action headlined by Time Attack UK and Drift Pro UK.

New for 2023!

Exciting new additions to the calendar include Super Touring Power (1/2 July), which will take spectators back to the '90s with a celebration of one of the BTCC's most iconic eras. Other new additions include a Great British race-off at Brands Britainnia on 4 June, whilst the Festival of Porsche makes a comeback for the first time since 2021 on 3 September.

A blast from the past

There will be plenty of on-circuit nostalgia this year too, with two premier historic showpieces. The Masters Historic Festival on 27/28 May will transport fans back to a golden era of the sport with retro F1 cars on the GP circuit, whilst the Legends of Brands Hatch Superprix remains one of the Historic Sports Car Club's blue ribband events.

A full season of grassroots competition

Beyond that, there is a full season of club racing to look forward to, starting from the traditional early season motorcycle events organized by the British Motorcycle Racing Club (11/12 March) and NG Road Racing (25/26 March). Equipe Classic Racing will then host the first four-wheeled fixture of the year on 1/2 April ahead of the British Truck Racing curtain raiser.

Other club racing highlights will include GT Cup's outing on the GP circuit on 29/30 April, Ferrari Challenge UK's weekend incorporating both layouts on 23-25 June and the No Limits Club Bike Championship event on the longer course on 29/30 July - the only non BSB two-wheeled event on the full circuit. The legendary Formula Ford Festival retains its traditional autumn slot on 21/22 October. 

Most of the of the UK's leading car racing organisers will visit in 2023, including the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC), British Automobile Racing Club (BARC), MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR), the 750 Motor Club and the Classic Sports Car Club (CSCC).
