He's already pencilled in with me in the Lenham as long as there's not a date clash with the customers...

Now wait for MRL to work out what series at each race meeting
Pre War Silverstone, Donington and Spa?
That’s enough with Le Mans

I'm sure that you'll enjoy Richard, but be warned in the reverse direction.

It's a pity that Croft is not back on the HSCC programme. I'd hoped this year's loss was a one off. I thought ti would be a good money spinner for the circuit but so many drivers live down south that perhaps it's too far to travel.

It is a great shame particularly as there is a seven week gap between Brands Superprix and Oulton Gold Cup. Grids were usually good when there was a two week gap between Silverstone Classic and Croft but poor when only one week and I think that the 2021 Classic is scheduled for the first weekend in August which was the traditional date for Croft.
Was there a Croft Revival event planned for 2020?

No, but they did say they hoped to be back. Again the date was too close the Silverstone I think

PA reminds they still have some special offers available for Le Mans Classic spectators, called early birds. I'm not on commission…

GP de France Historique 11/13 June Le Castellet
"The French Historic Grand Prix as a curtain-opener for the Formula 1 Grand Prix de France" HVM words.
If you're really interested in such an event -why not?- all info you need is on the official website. Cant imagine a single R30 drop under Lewis slicks!
Just my opinion but, sometimes, may be, some and others should worry about free translators found here, there and elsewhere.
If you're looking for the meaning of "curtain opener" you won't understand what you're missing. Ouverture de rideau or better lever de rideau is a theatrical ref. Understand support races and it'll be fiiiiine… 
Comme disait ma grand mère, il y a des coups de pied au derrière qui se perdent!!!
