The Venue

Brooklands Museum, near Weybridge in Surrey, is described as the cradle of British Motorsport and Aviation. Home, since 1907, of the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, Brooklands also witnessed pioneering flights and became a base for aviation companies such as Vickers, Sopwith, and Hawker. Today the museum offers a wide range of motoring and aviation exhibits. It also offers meeting and event facilities, allowing Granta to take advantage of this historic site to invite today's pioneers in high-performance engineering to join us for our seminar!
