For those of you that have never visited Brooklands before this is an ideal excuse. Brooklands is unique, it was the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed in Weybridge, Surrey in 1907 and played host to many famous races & speed record attempts for over 30 years until the onset of the 2nd World War in 1939. The circuit was requisitioned by the Government and given over to production of Vickers and Hawker aircraft including the Hurricane fighter and Wellington Bomber.

Today parts of the original circuit including the banking are still visible and many of the original buildings, garages & hangars have been restored to house an amazing collections of Brooklands-related motoring and aviation exhibits ranging from giant, pre-war racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles to an unparalleled collection of Hawker and Vickers/ BAC-built aircraft, including the only Concorde with public access in south-east England.
