Winter racing in Britain
We have the Plum Pudding at Mallory on Boxing Day, but what else is there? I could have sworn not so long ago that MSVR organised allcomers races at Snetterton for November/December time, as of course we've had Ginetta/F4 Winter series as well as FPA, Mini Se7ens and others.
What is a circuit race fan to do this time of year to get their fix? |

Can't remember any circuit racing at Brands or Snetterton in December in recent history, but until a couple of years ago Brands used to run the 'into the night' stuff for Britcar up to mid-November (usually the 2nd Saturday of the month).

Get out and see other forms of motorsport, you know about Donington, the VSCC have Driving Tests at Bicester and there are sporting trials all across the country before racing starts again.

I miss the days when MSV would put on an FRenault and Ginetta Junior Winter series for racers to get experience on circuit before the driver turn old enough before the full season. I recall a very young Sennan Fielding and Billy Monger obliterating their fields at a grey drizzly Snetterton right before exploding into their respective championships the following year.
I guess the appeal in funing in a warmer country around Christmas time took over. |

There's still loads of karting. PFI has a Winter Series, Whilton Mill starts up in January having only missed December. Down south Clay Pigeon and Llandow both have racing scheduled.
Lots of short, sharp action. Big grids. Close racing. Stars of the future. Probably a fight between Cadet dads and/or mums. What's not to like? Oh and spectator entry is normally free. Many events are shown on YouTube, too. Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk |

looking a cicuit calendars in general theres very little trackday activity booked for winter now either. Seems like they lose money by opening up in the colder months now.

Believe it or not we used to have rallycross wintrerseries north and south!
And autograss also had a sort of winterseries, but the change in weather has rather put paid to all of this, I do recall seeing rallycross at Lydden in full snow though, the track was just about clear but the loose surface was not and snow banks were the barriers! Palmer has seen a money spinner in the MSV rally series, so much so it has become rather expensive to watch at, just dont go on the grass, he will put barriers etc up to damage your car if you do. In some places!! |
