Masters Brands Hatch Festival on 30-31 May Officially Marks the 'Centenary of Power' in an Unforgettable Historic Celebration Commemorating the Land-Mark Year for the Historic UK Race Circuit.

The Masters Historic Festival at Brands Hatch provided a spectacular weekend of historic motorsport, celebrating the circuit's landmark 100th anniversary. Against the backdrop of a 'Centenary of Power', fans enjoyed a packed programme featuring iconic Formula One machinery, endurance racing, classic GT cars and touring cars, with close competition and close battles honouring Brands Hatch's rich racing heritage.

Experience the sights, sounds and atmosphere of this special centenary celebration in the official Masters Historic Festival aftermovie.

Historic Formula One cars from Masters Racing Legends from 1966-1985 delivered two thrilling races, with Werner d'Ansembourg (Williams FW07C) and Tom Bradshaw (McLaren MP4/1) taking a win apiece after battling hard all weekend. Warren Briggs (McLaren29C) was competitive and consistent in his Mclaren to complete the podium in third place across both races. 

The endurance action produced multiple standout performances across both Masters Endurance Legends categories. Kenny Murray and Phil Quaife took victory in MEL 1 Race 1 before Zak Brown and Richard Dean struck back in Race 2, while Neil Glover and Michael Lyons completed a dominant double victory in MEL 2 aboard their Lamborghini Gallardo GT3.

John Spiers and Nigel Greensall claimed overall Masters Gentlemen Drivers victory in their TVR Griffith, while Geoffrey and Alan Letts secured Masters Pre-66 Touring Car honours with their Ford Lotus Cortina after another entertaining display of historic racing.

One of the highlights of the weekend was the Masters Demo Legends showcase, featuring an incredible collection of Formula One cars from 1983-2005. Former Grand Prix drivers Martin Donnelly and Stefan Johansson thrilled spectators as they demonstrated iconic machinery from the sport's recent past, alongside a diverse field representing more than two decades of F1 development.

Thank you to all competitors, teams, partners and fans who joined us at Brands Hatch for another unforgettable Masters Historic Festival. We look forward to welcoming you to the next round of the Masters Historic Racing season.
