THE competitive season at Brands Hatch came to an end with the Britcar ‘Into the Night’ race.

As the sun set over Kent, so the action began as Jonny Cocker and Lord Paul Brayson, in their Barwell Aston Martin DBRS9, took an imaginary chequered flag.

This is because the race, over 90 minutes, was a non-championship affair and was used instead to test new race regulations set to come in next year.

Brands is open for testing now - see www.motorvision.co.uk for more details.
