The Rothmans 50,000 was a motor race held at the Brands Hatch circuit on 28 August 1972 with a prize fund of £50,000. The race was held to Formula Libre rules, but the top placing three cars were all Formula One cars - with Emerson Fittipaldi winning the race from pole in a Lotus 72, Brian Redman in a McLaren M19A taking second and Henri Pescarolo driving a March 711 finishing third.
