Trackday Trophy heads to Brands Hatch on Saturday 14 November for the final round of the 2026 season, as the iconic Kent circuit prepares to host the final race meeting of its first 100 years.
One of the most recognisable UK circuits, Brands Hatch Indy is a formidable challenge for drivers. The shorter lap duration captures most of the challenging parts of the full circuit, in a lap just over a mile long.
Michael Rawlings, in the #34 Paddock Performance BMW, rejoins the series for the first time since Anglesey, at an event that also sees his battling for the TDC championship title! He joins #25 FJ Racings Aaron Mullarkey, and #32 Misty Racings Mark Jones, who will both be looking at class podiums at the wheels of their respective Honda Civics. Rawlings will be looking to go one better than last year, where at the 2025 Brands Hatch finale, he finished just a second behind first place!
Aindale Racing’s Class C #21 Celica entry returns having shown strong this season, capturing four podiums on the route to the final round. FJ Racing will also be feeling confident with Jordan Mullarkey bringing the momentum of a class podium at Snetterton in the Honda Civic Type R.
Class D race winner Andy Burton could be another driver to watch in his #63 Ford Focus. Burton made an impressive start at Brands Hatch in 2025, progressing from sixth on the grid to third overall by the first corner. But he’ll be chased down by a field of MX-5s with the #83 EHKO Racing team of Mike Fletcher and Alex Landsdon, the #16 car of BC Cars Alister Esam, and the #60 Boreham Motorsport car of Chris Stone, amongst those leading the charge.
