While the next running of the rally was scheduled for Saturday 16th January 2021, government public health measures placed Brands Hatch, along with all areas of Kent, in the new COVID-19 Tier 4: Stay at Home area from 20th December 2020.

This limits permissible activity within Tier 4 and travel to and from it, affecting competitors and volunteers alike.  The areas subject to Tier 4 restrictions will be expanded further from Boxing Day. 

Given there is no realistic expectation of a material improvement before 16th January 2021, the organising team has made the reluctant decision to cancel the rally for 2021.

Competitors will already have received an email detailing how to receive a refund of the entry fee.  There will be a significant workload for our volunteers to process this, which will be done as quickly as possible.

We are very grateful to our competitors, volunteers and sponsors for your commitment to the rally and we look forward to returning to Brands Hatch in the future.
