The new configuration of the Dingle Dell corner at Brands Hatch is to be named Sheene’s Curve in honour of the late Barry Sheene, who succumbed to cancer in March.

A faster, sweeping corner has replaced the old Dingle Dell chicane on the Grand Prix layout.

“Barry’s first race was at Brands Hatch. We feel this is a fitting tribute to one of the best entertainers ever seen in the world of bike racing,” said Michael Browning of Octagon Motorsports UK.
