American Speedfest returns to Brands Hatch for the second time this weekend, with an Americana-infused festival of cars, music and food.

The venue will be transformed into a scene from Daytona, with outrageous driver introductions, cheerleaders and the Star Spangled Banner. More than 1,000 classic American cars will attend, with the centrepiece being a 50-year timeline dedicated to the most famous of all the muscle cars – the Ford Mustang.

The Victory Lane Stage will host live bands throughout the day, including rockabilly band The Houndogs, blues and swing band El Camino, and rhythm and blues act The Fat Walters Band. Food on offer will include USA-inspired menus with offerings including classic burgers, ‘killer ribs’, and New York surf ‘n’ turf.

Online tickets cost £25 for weekend admission, £14 for Saturday and £21 for Sunday. Visit www.speedfest.co.uk
