The Masters Historic Festival
Brands Hatch (GP): 29-31 May 2010

The majestic Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit will reverberate to the distinctive sounds of the Masters Historic Festival this May Bank Holiday.

The Masters Festival is a celebration of vehicles from the golden age of motorsport, which begins on Saturday with an Indy circuit celebration of saloon and GT cars from the 1950s-70s. Highlights include a new one-make Mini series, along with a 'David versus Goliath' battle between 1960s V8-engined touring cars and retro Imps and Cortinas in the Oldies but Goldies competition.

On Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, the event moves over to the Grand Prix circuit for a two-day celebration of Brands Hatch's halcyon days. Headlining the bill will be the Grand Prix Masters Series, featuring the actual machinery driven by F1 legends including James Hunt, Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart. Among the vehicles competing will be cars from Tyrell, Williams and Arrows, the 1974 championship-winning McLaren M23 and the iconic Martini Brabham BT44.

Plus, there will be heart-pounding action from the World Sportscar Masters, featuring a huge grid of more than 20 powerful classic supercars.
