I did it three times between 1998 and 2003 and really enjoyed going there despite the long haul down to Dover. It's an interesting track with 3 hairpins and a tight entry to the long pit straight. In those days you could spectate from the flat roof over the cafe and see almost all the circuit. The food in the restaurant was typically french and really good. St. Pol was good for visiting in the evenings after the racing. |

The rooftop viewing is still in use & very popular. The circuit has been very slightly modified at one of the hairpins, adding just a few metres to the circuit length. As you say, St Pol is very good for an evening out, Hesdin probably even better although a little further to travel. |

John I feel someone missed here would have asked: "Are you on commission, Dear?"
Joke apart, while I still dont recommend to come in France before a long while, its always possible to race at croix for Brits. I'll ask the conditions for your friends but I think that its possible to have a weekend race licence for those not wanting to bother with an itl one. Forget about the HTP thingy they will enter in the invitation class. Dont jeopardize with any safety device, all the FIA requirements are thoroughly checked. Quite normal IMO. |

Just for the record, I dont see anymore the test days planed by PA at Ricard on the website, was 4/5 March ass mentioned on our calendar. May be Will 356 can confirm whether its cancelled or not.
Coming from very serious people those delays or cancellations are bad news, because they have informations Ã* la source being close to the powers. Just hope they can hold the 30 April/2 May dates for Le Castellet Dix Mille Tours. They must have a hard time atm. |

Addition to previous delays, last PA email ends with those words:
"The dates of subsequent events will be confirmed to you as soon as possible, depending on the evolution of the health situation.Counting on your understanding,Best regards." |

I feel that there should not be date changes if events are not allowed to run earlier in the season. It crowds the calendar and can badly effect the smaller events if a major one moves onto the same date and it's within a 100 miles. Not just race meeting sbut classic shows etc that are often run for charities.
If you can't run on your date you should cancel until next year. otherwise it's just greed. |

Same thing with Le Mans Classic. May be the modern one and test days, held three weeks before, will be a kind of rehearsal, same track layout same hassle to close the public roads, riverains, shops…

As noted elsewhere, got a notification from CSCC today that their Knockhill 2-day meet has been rearranged from 1/2 May to 3/4 July - and they are hoping to rearrange the cancelled Snetterton date (was 27/28 March) to end-April / early May.

Also still trying to get clarification about ability for overnight stays at circuits up to 12 April as this affects the CSCC meeting at Oulton on 10 April.

I still have my main Le Mans booking from last year. Still doubtful whether I'll get to use it!

ATM nobody can cheer you up… May be your tickets will become collectors, who knows? Would be good news if they maintain the test day on 6 June.
Tough time for the new Hypercar category, if something bad happens during this test, they'll have few hours to fix it. |

I think the saddest thing is the inability to travel for fun, no matter where you want to go. But I'm optimistic that we will be set free sometime this year.

I'm too convinced that it will improve, rather shortly. When the vaccination process will have really started here, lets say May, it'll be good. Some major towns, like Nice, and now Paris are asking for a new lockdown.
In total, twenty critical areas are thoroughly monitored. The main question remains the utilisation of a Covid Passport. |

The new date of the Goodwood Members Meeting clashes with the HSCC Finals. This is a most unfortunate choice of date. I understand that a tight calendar leads to inevitable clashes. But to schedule a date for the event on the very weekend of the championship decider races of series that many of the cars entered in the MM usually race in for the rest of the year, boggles the mind. In Formula Junior, there is now a race at the MM and at the Finals on the same weekend. RudE |

I'm convinced that main organisers like Masters, Peter Auto and Goodwood are in contact to find viable solutions. And avoid when possible any clash.
As stated here before, PA precise that "The dates of subsequent events will be confirmed to you as soon as possible, depending on the evolution of the health situation." If my understanding is good, even Spa Classic is concerned. Not to mention our GP de F Historique, impossible to be held without Brit competitors. |

I see that HRDC who were to run a meeting at Castle Combe on 5 April, reprising the races abandoned because of torrential downpour last year, have now decided that to comply with the Government guidance on travel, it will be deferred to 30 August. Apparently CCRC are still running their local championship events on 5 April.

This is all the staying overnight stuff. Our event that weekend has been cancelled because there's no overnight camping on site, and hotels are closed to leisure stays. It'll be interesting to see whether CC can keep this commitment.
