The 2001 Brooklands Racing League was the first season of the of BRL championship, which aimed to bring a top-level open wheel racing series to British shores. For the first time, a non-American open-wheel series would combine oval, road and street circuits across the season; the champion would be crowned at Brands Hatch in September. The championship's flagship event would be the Great British 500 - an oval race at the newly-built Rockingham Motor Speedway that would run for 500 kilometres.
