Season Finale for The Dunlop Great & British Motorsport Festival

The final round of the 2007 Dunlop Great & British Festival season will be a celebration of the hot hatch, where all owners of any sporting hatch from any marque, old and new, are invited to the party on 7th October at Brands Hatch.

The event will see the sixth ever running of the BARC Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup and it is a Championship which was added to the 2007 Great & British line-up to offer its drivers a stepping-stone into the British Touring Car Championship.  The ‘Hot Hatch’ festival at Brands Hatch will also celebrate what has been a fantastic inaugural season for the series.

For the first 100 ‘hot hatch’ cars through the gates and their passengers will be given the rare opportunity of driving their car on the spectacular circuit in a special parade lap at lunchtime on Sunday. 

In addition, during the lunchbreak on Sunday spectators will be given the chance to get closer to the action and stroll round the ‘pit lane’ to see MINI Challenge and the PlayStation Ginetta Junior cars.

There will also be non-stop race action on Sunday; racing will start at 10:00 am.  Alongside the core Great & British championships of the Dunlop Radical EnDuro and BiDuro Championships, MINI Challenge and the PlayStation Ginetta Juniors will be the BARC Westfield Sportscar Championship.

Lisa Davison of Dunlop Great & British Festivals states: “The Brands Hatch round of the Dunlop Great & British Festivals will be an electric finale where the core championship titles are still to play for. 

“The event will also celebrate the inaugural season of the BARC Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup and we are inviting owners of any sporting hatch to join the party in the ‘Hot Hatch’ Festival.  We hope to build on the successes of this year and make the 2008 season bigger and better for the series.”

Tickets for the Dunlop Great & British Motorsport Festival at Brands Hatch are £12 on the gate and £10 in advance.  Children under 12 can go free!
