Brands Hatch Indy bike track days information

Please be sure to read this entire page before booking and if you have questions consult our novice section and FAQ

A great circuit that everyone should have in their track day diary. The Indy may be half the size of the GP track but by no means is it a lesser half. Give it a go, there is a bit of everything and event there are always very social and just that bit more relaxed than the GP track.

Our Brands Hatch INDY events are run in a flexible manner made possible by our capping of numbers lower than any other operator. You are guaranteed a minimum 20 minutes of track time in one of 3 sessions per hour regardless, but normally riders will have access more than that on a flexible basis. Whie the costs involved when running at Brands Hatch prevent us from the levels we run at other circuits, you are guaranteed a quality event. This flexible system is of benefit to both advanced and novice riders (who are always protected and kept seperate).You will be required on the booking page to select your experience level, for us this is a general guide and if not suitable on the day (or indeed if during the day you feel more comfortable moving around a bit) then this is not a problem as we will always have plenty of room in all groups without reaching the official circuit limit. Evening events are split into 2 groups, and if you are not sure which one, there is plenty of room for moving.
