Brands Hatch Indy Preview - R6

04 October 2023

After a short break in proceedings, it’s finally almost time for eBay MSVT Trackday Trophy to take to the circuit once more. A blockbuster season finale quickly approaches, with an expected capacity grid of competitors itching to take on Brands Hatch’s tremendous Indy configuration for the final silverware of the year.

eBay MSVT Trackday Trophy has remained as popular and competitive as ever in 2023. Four different teams have etched their names into the series history books by recording overall victories this season, while an even greater number of competitors have managed to finish at the top end of closely-fought classes to record podium finishes. It’s been a terrific season for the series and you can expect plenty more excitement from the season finale in Kent.

Brands Hatch’s Indy circuit is the perfect platform for a showstopping final race. The configuration is one that will require drivers and machinery to be at their best to eek out every tenth of a second possible, with the short lap making it even more important to nail each and every corner. A tricky opening sector includes the notorious Paddock Hill Bend and the testing Druids hairpin, while Clearways at the end of the lap can always prove unforgiving. It’s a circuit that is synonymous with UK motorsport and not a race to be missed!

Last time out at Oulton Park, Justin Roberts and Martin Heath became the latest drivers to secure overall victory in the series this season. The Team KAR duo bested a highly-competitive field to earn the top step in Class B, finishing in front of Paddock Performance Racing’s Rawlings/Cresswell in second and Apple Car Centre’s Jordan Honeybone in third. Team KAR will be aiming to record a second consecutive victory at Brands Hatch, but you can be sure there will be plenty of competition vying to stop them. Amongst those will be Wolf Motorsport’s Chris Reade and AWH Yeah Racing’s Wilkinson-Hughes/Connell, who both put in a tremendous displays at Oulton Park to top Class C and D respectively. It’ll be fascinating to see who manages to top each class in Kent.
