British Truck Racing Championship 2017 season starts at Brands Hatch

Horsepower comes with six wheels and several tonnes of metal this weekend when the British Truck Racing Championships race into Brands Hatch.

Six wheels, five tonnes, and 1,000-horsepower monsters will be crashing and smashing their way around the Indy circuit at West Kingsdown.

The championships kick off the 2017 season with a full weekend’s racing, so get ready for an adrenalin-fuelled two days of overtaking, oversteering and thrills and spills.

Those who have been inspired by the racing action can enjoy a ride in a monster truck and admire the showtrucks.

Off the track, there will be a Brands Hatch Fun Zone with a fairground on both days and an adventure playground near the Kentagon restaurant, which has a motorsport theme and equipment for toddlers up to teenagers.

On the Sunday, the Big Top Circus Tent will have circus skills, a bubble station and face painting, and Diggerland will also be bringing along a number of diggers for visitors young and old to try their hand at operating them.
