Some nice meetings they’re plugged into! Is Knockhill a BTCC round?

No - BTCC is at Knockhill about three weeks before that, 25/26 August.

Any idea what the Thruxton meeting is?

No details announced but assumption is that it’s a special anniversary meeting.

On the subject of the HSCC dates, I suspect that there may be a change to the Silverstone Finals meeting date as races on the GP circuit have been included on the calendars for F3, LMP3 Cup and GT Cup the same weekend.

I am sure Pat will be posting his plans for the 50th anniversary race on here soon.I know there is going to be an open wheel race which I am gutted to be missing. We will be on the FJ Baltic tour. But never say never, this could be another Delta challenge. There is an airport next to the track?

Donington could be interesting in May.

Apparently they are planning to install the new bridge over the M1 in May. 4 days required, preferably using a Bank Holiday weekend.

Actually looking at the brief report of expectations through to December 2018, Donington could be a challenge for the entire year - any day of the week.

I know where I will be on 21/22 April then!

It's great to see the 500's coming back - they provided some really great racing the last time they came.

Nice to see the 500s racing with VSCC at some meetings. A good fit.

Not official, but through the grapevine, Spa Summer Classic should be 22-24 June. It’s on my ‘to do’ list again with something......
