Jul. 07, 1976 - Britain's Race Ace Wins The British Grand Prix At Brands Hatch After A Dramatic Five-Car Pile-Up. Britain's race ace James Hunt stormed to a controversial win in the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, Kent. His triumph came after he was involved in a five-car pile-up, and there was a tense three-hour wait for Hunt while the stewards discussed protest from the rival teams who claimed he should be disqualified. Finally they rule that Hunt was the winner. Yesterday's storm erupted after the big pile-up on the first bend of the first lap.
