Brands Hatch held its first race meeting in three months last weekend following the Covid-19 lockdown.
The Legends of Brands Hatch Superprix was the circuit's first event since the sport's governing body in Britain – Motorsport UK – cancelled all permits in March.
Track owners MotorSport Vision allowed spectators to the venue last weekend, but at a reduced capacity.
A range of hygiene and social distancing measures were in place and fans could not access the paddock or pit lane.
The event – organised by the Historic Sports Car Club – attracted more than 330 entries.
Cam Jackson starred, winning five races in three cars, while Michael Lyons and James Hagan shared the victories in the Aurora Trophy.
Later this month, the Ferrari Challenge UK series visits Brands Hatch over the July 25-26 weekend.
In April, KentOnline published 51 photos of the county's race circuits as lockdown continued.
