Brooklands Celebrates Centenary

Brooklands: The Birthplace of Motorsport


This weekend, motorsport fans celebrated at Brooklands, highlighting a centenary of motorsport. 


Founded by wealthy industrialist Hugh Locke King and opened on June 17, 1907, Brooklands stands as a legendary monument to British engineering prowess, and what a celebration it was, with Motorsport celebrating every class of competitive driving one could think of, and race fans flooding in to celebrate in style.


Visit Brooklands Museum in Weybridge, Surrey.


Brooklands was built in Weybridge, Surrey, to bypass the strict 20 mph speed limit imposed on public UK roads at the turn of the century; it laid the foundation for modern competitive racing, and it's never been forgotten by the motorsports world.


Visit Brooklands Museum

  • The Banked Concrete Oval: Designed as a 2.75-mile (4.43 km) oval, Brooklands incorporated two massive, steep banked turns—the Members' Banking (reaching nearly 30 feet high) and the Byfleet Banking.

  • Extreme Speeds Without Steering: The extreme banking allowed drivers to maintain high speeds (well over 100 mph) without turning their steering wheels, using centrifugal force to stick to the track's Fifty-Foot Line.

  • Pioneering Surface: Due to the difficulty and cost of laying asphalt on steep inclines, the track was paved using massive uncoated concrete slabs, hosting the inaugural British Grand Prix in 1926.
