I supose if i was making the 07 calander it would be some thin like this:
April Rockingham
May Brands Hatch
June Ipswich (at night)
July Rockingham
August Knockhill 2 day event?
September Mallory or Lydden
October Rockingham grand final

Thoughts?
My feelings are it will be something like:

May Rockingham
June Rockingham
June Lausitz
July Rockingham
August Rockingham
August Lausitz
September Rockingham
October Rockingham

One of the Rockingham dates will be Ovalfest07

While it's a MSA licenced series, it will only run on MSA or FIA affiliated circuits.

There are reservations within the teams/drivers about running on the old short ovals.

The only one almost suitable is Hednesford with it being 1/3 mile, but to be honest, with no infield pit area, it just ain't suitable.

We need Silverstone to build a banked 1/2mile oval.

Mallory needs to get rid of the hump at the top end, and increase the size of the pits, then it might be suitable - but being a road course masqerading as an oval, there's no wall/barrier around the outside of the track.
