Many people watched and liked my Eau Rogue, Karussell and Corkscrew videos, so I made yet another sequel about even more corners with a lot of elevation. I am very happy with how the video turned out and I hope you guys will find it interesting as well.

Thanks to Paul from the PS1 Racing Challenge for recording iRacing and to Speedbooster27 for recording rFactor 2 for me, so that I didn't have to buy the track in those games myself. Check out some of their own content here:

The first corner at Brands Hatch is called Paddock Hill Bend and it's one of the most unique and tricky first corners on real world race tracks. It is followed by the Druids hairpin and the Graham Hill Bend.

Brands Hatch has been included in almost every TOCA and Grid game but it only starting appearing in Forza and Gran Turismo with FM6 and GT6. Most of the well known sim racing games include it as well.

The track was actually used for some Formula 1 races in the 60s, 70s and 80s and it was included as a classic track in the F1 2013 game.

What are your thoughts on Brands Hatch and the first few corners in particular? Have you played any of these 35 games yourself? Which rendition of the track do you like the most? Feel free to share your thoughts and anecdotes about the track in the comments.
