I attended round 8 of the British GT Championship at Brands Hatch.
If the results went the right way, this round could see a the GT3 Drivers Title, the Team Title and the GT4 Drivers Title decided, this however is motorsport and nothing is over until the Chequered Flag.
As well as the British GT Cars, there was a full support programme of racing.
Away from the track DK Engineering had some of their on display, there were lots of trade stands, plenty of food and drink vendors and some fun fare rides.
