I suspect the general state of the championship (small grids and no sponsor) had more to do with the reduced number of races- I don't think the Donington FIA race being a week before the Silverstone BTCC round would be too much of an issue- the previous year, both series had actually appeared at the same meeting, with a few teams (Sytner, possibly Newman, Datapost and one of Terry Drury's Alfas) doubling up and doing both races
