A man has been arrested following an incident at Brands Hatch last weekend involving a Volkswagen Polo road car being driven onto the track during a club race.
The 21-year-old, from Tonbridge in Kent, was taken into police custody on Monday on suspicion of false imprisonment.
It follows an incident on Saturday when the private car was driven onto the Brands Indy circuit towards the end of a four-hour Fun Cup race.
A video filmed by a passenger in the back of the car showed the Polo accessing the circuit from the pitlane, having been driven through the main paddock and then a garage.
The driver, who appears to ignore pleas to stop by the person in his passenger seat, drove around the entire Indy circuit but returned to the pits before completing a lap.
The race was red-flagged and an inquiry into the incident has been launched between Kent Police, the Motor Sports Association and circuit operator MotorSport Vision. The British Racing and Sports Car Club, which organised the meeting at the weekend, said it was assisting all parties.
