In the Racing Pits at the

Superleague Formula

Our DP Robert Foster had a weekend in the Pits at the esteemed Brands Hatch racecourse down in Kent.

For the first time, Brands Hatch welcomed the Superleague Formula, which we were thrilled to cover. This is one of the world’s most iconic motor racing venues and plays host to some of the biggest international events on the calendar in 2010.

Robert operated on one of the many live cameras covering the event.

First used for grass track bike racing in 1926, Brands Hatch is a firm fans' favourite and has been the scene of some momentous occasions in motor racing history - from Ayrton Senna's first ever car victory and Nigel Mansell's first Grand Prix win, to the first-ever British Touring Car race.

The Superleague Formula was a huge weekend full of crowds of football loving petrol heads from all over the globe. Races also included in the packed weekend were; The GT Cup Championship, The Lotus Cup Europe and The Formula Junior. The cars in the Superleague Formula are similar to Formula One cars. However every team uses identical cars and 750-horsepower V-12 engines. Eighteen clubs took part including English clubs Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur. The results after Round 7 placed AC Milan in first position in the 2010 General Standings.
