THERE’S less than three weeks to go until Brands Hatch hosts its inaugural American Speed Fest on June 9.

Headlined by the Euro Racecar NASCAR Touring Series, the whole event will be built around family fun and a celebration of Americana, with live music, NASCAR demos, huge car club displays, monster trucks and much more.

Fans will be able to get closer than ever before to the action with a free of charge grid walk prior to the first Euro NASCAR race on Sunday.

Everyone is welcome to step onto the iconic Brands Hatch start/finish straight and meet the star drivers and touch the cars just moments before they roar into life on the race track.

There’s also a free pit lane walk and driver autograph session on the Sunday morning.

After each Euro NASCAR race the top three drivers will head to Victory Lane behind Pit Straight Grandstand, where everyone will be able to see the post-race celebrations and awards.

The American SpeedFest will be like no other event at Brands Hatch this year.

Discounted advance admission tickets are just £18 in advance and children U13 go free.
