Is this just coincidence?

“1964 British Grand Prix flashback”

This is the year John Surtees won the F1 Championship, and now his son dies at Brands Hatch.

“With Donington Park announcing a 17-year deal”

SEVENTEEN? sounds depressing for those who love heritage circuits like Silverstone? can’t it be like 5 or 4 or 3 or even 2???

Makes me wanna travel back to the good old days when the public was allowed into the paddock, and the crowd was astounding, great races, tough circuits. As with everything, with time, world gets older – and with Bernie – gets stupider…

Ah Brands! Thanks for that bit of nostalgia, Keith. The one time I went was in 1978; my mate Mike and I drove up from Plymouth in my recent purchase, a blaze (orangey colour, well it was the seventies…) 1275GT. Man, we had a ball! Hunt, Lauda, Watson, Patrick Tambay, Vitorio Brambilla as usual spinning in practice (and other times!) and of course Carlos Reuteman winning in a…Ferrari.

Yes, Brands – those hills, South Bank, crazy warm-up races! One day in the future maybe?

Wonderful, thanks Keith !
Brands Hats is so thrilling ( from pictures and TV – unfortunately I have not been there ), with its ups and downs …. the sense of speed and drama is so great.
I always try to watch on TV the Superbikes race, just to look at the track.
cheers and thanks !

May i ask, why is Kimi Raikkonen’s car the cover picture of this, he wasn’t even born then!

3 British world champions on the podium- those were the days… When was the last time there was 3 drivers from the same country on the podium together?

I fear I made a mistake with the distance:( Instead of 80 laps
90 laps, 3,957km each, it should be just 80 laps x 4,265 km each.
