Sheene at Brands

The new configuration of the Dingle Dell corner at Brands Hatch is to be named Sheene’s Curve in honour of the late Barry Sheene, who succumbed to cancer in March.

A faster, sweeping corner has replaced the old Dingle Dell chicane on the Grand Prix layout.

“Barry’s first race was at Brands Hatch. We feel this is a fitting tribute to one of the best entertainers ever seen in the world of bike racing,” said Michael Browning of Octagon Motorsports UK.
