Last weekend saw the BTCC Brands Hatch Season Finale 2017 as the cars and teams returned to the circuit that saw the opening round six months before.

The British F4 Championship Brands Hatch Finale 2017 as part of the British Touring Car Championship season decider saw the single seater series return to where the drivers had started their campaigns six months before.
