And just as a small commment on the side.

I'm not sure that people realise how spoiled they are with circuits in this country. Considering the size of the UK, we are absolutely RAMMED with great tracks, and always have a great choice each year.

As an example, if you race in America, the geography of the place (It's huge) often dictates that you race with a single club, usually with no more than 3 tracks to choose from (unles you do AMA). I raced at Willow Springs, and their championship is held at one track...you guessed it...Willow Springs.

We are REALLY lucky.

Just a quick update:

I have now had a couple of calls regarding the Brands Hatch BSB round and the possibility of TV coverage.

This has not been requested by myself off the organisers, so far. We are due to meet in January to finalise arangements and I will put it on the table.

For the timebeing please assume that there will be no TV coverage of our races.

That's going to be a baptism of fire for a first timer like me! It's pressure enough having the place full of British Superbike elite and massive crowds, it's probably for the best if it's not on TV as well!

Oh yeh, I'm 5h1tting it already, I thought Castle Combe had a big crowd!

Mind you if it does get coverage at least I'll see just how cr4p I am for myself.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

Word...bitches...

From me...1000 miles to Eastern Creek, 700 miles to Phillip Island: my local, Mallala (like Snetterton) 50 miles away.

You guys have 3 local GP/WSB tracks, and Oulton, Cadwell, Snet, etc..

EXCELLENT WORK CHRIS.

Well done.

As another example. Preston DMC run their series at the 3 sisters, Darley Moor and Aintree. These are tiny tracks compared to the DD calender. Ok i did want Oulton in the list but to be at Brands and Silverstone for me being new is fantastic news.
