About This Event

The London Historic Trophy is Motor Racing Legends' historic race meeting at Brands Hatch, with the grids racing on both the short Indy circuit and the full Grand Prix loop. The Kent circuit sits in a natural amphitheatre, which the organiser says gives exceptional spectator views.

1What to Expect

Both layouts in one weekend: Races run on the Indy circuit and on the Grand Prix circuit, known for its elevation changes and fast curves.
Grids from pre war to 1990: In 2026 the grids ran from Pre War Sports Cars and the Woodcote and Stirling Moss Trophies to the Historic Touring Car Challenge for cars from 1969 to 1990. The 2027 grids are not announced yet.
Group C at lunchtime: In 2026 Group C cars ran high speed demonstration laps at lunchtime on Saturday and Sunday.

The shape of the weekend: In 2026 Friday ran on the Indy circuit, then Saturday ran 9am to 6:30pm and Sunday 10am to 6:30pm on the Grand Prix circuit.
Club cars and a club parade: Dozens of clubs brought hundreds of cars in 2026, with a parade at the close of each day.
