I suspect Autosport International will follow suit...
Edit: just checked their website, and the early January dates are now "to be confirmed" |

I have a mole at Motorsport.com who says they're angling for a February date but given RR has postponed I'd be surprised if that worked.

Harder for RR as it is all about a pre-season event, so it's exhibitors are race and event organsiers, clubs and those looking to sell to people preparing their car pre-season, if that to move into April would they get the same attendance for people and exhibtors. We are due to exhibit there, but in April we are 'rolling' and have a busy events calendar, so would be unable to attend if that was the likely timeframe. |

Birmingham is Tier 3, it'll do well to get out of tier 2 in 8 weeks.

I hear that the Race Retro people are looking for an event at the East of England Showground in Peterborough on March 27/28th.

That would be Race Revival being organised by Live Promotions who formerly ran Race Retro. They had a similar event planned for this year and as Peterborough Motor Club we had accepted the offer of a motor club stand. After I believe 2 date changes it was eventually cancelled.

For me in the Lakes, it's about 20 minutes longer than Stoneleigh but as it's a pop up event it won't be anything on par with Race Retro and not worth going for two days. Even assuming COVID is clear by then,

I have only been to the Peterborough show ground once but my memory is that there is a permanent exhibition hall and I don’t see why they couldn’t have additional indoor space within temporary e hibition structures. The blurb also talks about outdoor exhibition space (presumably for larger exhibits?) and a rally stage (which hopefully has less point and squirt “90 rights/lefts” than Stoneleigh. The success of the event depends on the quality and quantity of the exhibitors that are attracted! |

To be equally fair - having checked, it is as Derwent says, only about 20 miles / minutes further away than Stoneleigh, according to Google maps. It just doesn't feel it. The other problem, though, is that it clashes with CSCC's opening race weekend at Snetterton - so that's one club that won't be there! |

Good point. I will be at Snetterton, too.
