Track description by Jamie Green

“Brands Hatch is an old-school race track with a wealth of motorsport history. Formula 1 used to race here. For me as an Englishman there is something very special about competing on the Grand Prix circuit at my DTM home race. Unlike many modern tracks, Brands Hatch offers many fast, sweeping corners. We need a well set-up car and a lot of courage for this high-speed challenge. Overtaking at Brands Hatch is usually difficult; Turns 3, 4 and 5 offer the best chances. Thanks to the new turbo engines, the DTM events will definitely be more spectacular. As a fan I’d watch the races either from Paddock Hill Bend or at the back of the race track, where you can get relatively close to the action.”
