Brands Hatch modifications


Brands Hatch has made significant changes to the Clearways corner by increasing the run-off for riders and drivers using the Indy circuit configuration.

The alterations have been made as part of continuing safety improvements at the circuit. The wider, asphalt run-off will cut down the instances of cars hitting the barrier if they come off the track and substantially reduce the amount of interruptions during races if an incident occurs.

The ground level at Clearways has been raised by one metre to ensure the Armco is higher as competitors approach the bend.

The new Asphalt run-off has increased by five metres which will allow riders or drivers who lose it on the bend to regain control easier. A “snatch gapâ€
Brands has never been the same since they removed the death trap that was the old Dingle Dell. Namby-pamby do-gooders sticking their safety oar in where it's not wanted, again. Cadwells 'mountain' next, you watch.
