2 WHEELS V 4 WHEELS
10 September 2006 - MotorSport Vision

September is going to be another busy month for Brands Hatch.

On the 23/24 the circuit hosts the penultimate rounds of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, a meeting that promises door-to-door action as the likes of Jason Plato and Colin Turkington pull out all the stops to prevent points leader Matt Neal from becoming the first independent driver in nearly two decades from taking back-to-back titles.

A week later (30 September/1 October) the racing switches from four wheels to two as the Bennetts British Superbikes ride to the wire to decide the 2006 champion. Leon Haslam, Gregorio Lavilla and Ryuichi Kiyonari can all claim top honours on the famous GP circuit and neither will be taking any prisoners.

As a prelude to two of the most anticipated motorsport events of the year, Brands Hatch is proud to announce a third. In an ultimate showdown of skill and stamina, a selection of the best saloon drivers in the UK will take on a trio of the finest riders in a one lap, winner takes all sprint of the Brands Hatch Indy circuit.

On Wednesday, 13 September from 1pm-2pm, the BTCC will thrown down the gauntlet to a contigent of top BSB stars in a battle of two wheels versus four wheels - on three wheels! The KMX three-wheel pedal kart is part BMX, part mountain bike and part trike, the all-terrain KMX ST boasts an all aluminium frame, Derailleur gears, front and rear brakes and a low slung seating position. Both sides will be giving it 110 per cent to decide who is faster!

Already confirmed to represent the BSB are:
Shane ''Shakey'' Burn - local hero, 2003 BSB champion and Rizla Suzuki rider
Tommy Hill - Lingfield-based, World Superbike wild card, Virgin Mobile Yamaha star
