I think having the MX5 "banger racers" in there will put a lot of folk off!

Parc Ferme between races or......... ?
From reading looks like no refuelling in pit lane. Will be interesting to see what alternative they are proposing.

Looks like good value,IF they can fill the grids,but with that mixture of cars including MX5s,wonder if they'll be using a Safety Car.

What is point of using the BRDC race as a warm up for Spa when 360 have their very own race that I thought had the full might of all !0/!0ths contributors behind it.This is the case gang?
This BRDC is not really historic? |
