American SpeedFest 5.27

The American SpeedFest was launched in 2013 to great acclaim. Fusing American-oriented motoring and motorsport with music, food and entertainment, the event was an instant hit with spectators and families in particular. And the world-famous Brands Hatch is the perfect host venue - its natural amphitheatre offers unrivalled views of all the action, and its facilities are second to none. And it has great road links too, being just 5 minutes from junction 3 of the M25.

The iconic Kent track will be transformed into a scene from Daytona for a fifth successive year on Sat/Sun 10/11 June 2017 when American SpeedFest V takes place. The superb NASCAR Whelen Euro Series makes its return as the headline act, bringing with it all the pomp and circumstance that we so closely associate with the US. Outrageous driver introductions, cheerleaders and The Star Spangled Banner will all feature, building up towards a bumper-to-bumper contest reminiscent of the world-famous Sprint Cup!

The American theme will continue across the support races with Bernie's V8s, a series showcasing powerful classic American cars featuring, and ever-popular Pickup Trucks. Plus there's demonstrations from classic American race cars, including Sprint Cup NASCARs and an Indy 500-winning Penske.

Spectators will be able to enjoy plenty away from the track too with a host of themed activities including live music throughout the day, a monster truck offering passenger rides, American cuisine and our very own Victory Lane, where spectators can be just inches from the cars and drivers for the NASCAR post-race celebrations! There will also be a myriad of classic American cars and bikes on display, and an amazing Fast & Furious celebration!

Stunt shows, free kids' entertainment and cheerleader displays all add to the fun at this brilliant, totally unique day out for all the family!
