Brands Hatch To Remain On Sprint Cup Schedule Through 2028

The SRO has announced that it has signed an extension with MotorSport Vision to ensure GT World Challenge Europe will continue to race at Brands Hatch until at least 2028.

The Kent circuit has been a regular fixture on the Sprint Cup Schedule since 2014, hosting an event every year since, bar the COVID-impacted 2020 season.

The round is now well-established as one of Brands Hatch’s flagship international fixtures, with the famed Grand Prix layout popular with drivers and fans alike.

This extension continues a relationship which began exactly three decades ago, when the 1996 BPR Global Series visited Brands Hatch for a four-hour race which saw Hans-Joachim Stuck and Thierry Boutsen claim the inaugural victory for the Porsche 911 GT1.

“This circuit is a true cornerstone of the Sprint Cup calendar and always delivers a fantastic fan-friendly atmosphere,” commented Stéphane Ratel, SRO Founder and CEO.

“Brands Hatch is also very popular among our drivers, and there are few better places to watch them compete at the limit. We must extend our thanks to MotorSport Vision and the dedicated team at the circuit for their work, which is always rewarded with a first-class racing venue. I look forward to this weekend’s Sprint Cup event, and to returning to Brands Hatch in the years to come.”
