I've been trying to plan this out this week;
24/3 Britcar Silverstone 22/4 British GT Donington 6/5 FIA GT SS 3/6 BGT Snetterton 19/6 F1 Test SS 29/7 Classic SS 4/8 Britcar Doni 9/9 BGT Croft 16/9 LMS! SS 30/9 BGT Rockingham I would like to go to something sportscar based at Cadwell because I haven't been there for years and it is closest to me, but there is little information on the website. Never been to Croft either, also fairly close to me I think, so I'm looking forward to BGT there. There is quite a few long treks to Silverstone this year but they have a lot of good stuff there this year(I would rather LMS was at Donington again) and I have not added the SS BGT round or 24 hours to the list, yet. I have never seen/heard a modern F1 car so the June test seems a good idea while doing away with the crowds and cost of a GP. |

Le Mans is basically holidays. The US trip is work And as long as my boss agrees with those days off...i don't complain. (Only the Mrs. does sometimes). |

You lot are well planned ahead!
I am hoping to go to a couple of Britcars too.. Pity the DSC is only visiting for the 24hr, they were great at Brands last year. LeMans is on the 'definite' list though |

All LMS (Monza, Valencia, Silverstone, Spa, Nuerburgring,Interlagos potential) and Le Mans. PLM still also in the potentials...
No Spa 24 Hours for me this year, will be on vacation with the family in Brazil. |

Just a handful of races for me this year:
April 21 ALMS Houston April 22 Champcar Houston April 28 Busch Talladega April 29 Nextel Cup Talladega June 16-17 Le Mans Will probably do one BTCC race (Oulton Park probably) and might be in Chicago at the same time as IRL so might get along to that too, all being well. |

I first want to see the grid in ALMS before I decide if I am going to attend the Miller Motorsports weekend. If it's just the Vette's in GT1 I don't think I'll go, there is a Speed GT that weekend and I would like to see them.
The other likely race is FIA GT in Silverstone again. It's a long trip, but the grid seems to be shaping up nicely. Chad |

Got a pretty busy year, highlights being Bathurst and Le Mans...
Apr 13-15: ALMS, Long Beach Apr 20-22: Rally America, Oregon Trail May 18-20: Rolex Sportscar Series, Laguna Seca (clashes with AMA Superbike at Infineon ) June 15-17: Le Mans 24 Hours July 20-22: MotoGP, Laguna Seca Aug 24-26: IRL and Rolex Series, Infineon Raceway Sep 15-16: AMA Superbike, Laguna Seca Oct 4-7: Bathurst 1000, Australia Oct 19-21: ALMS, Laguna Seca Pretty packed schedule but all are definite. I'm also considering driving down to Mexico for the Baja 1000 in November, but that's a little shakey at the mo, given the cost to go to Bathurst. |

My schedule (hopefully)
Races 2007 - Provisional 750MC. Mallory Park. March 11th World Superbikes. Donington Park. April 1st FIA GT. Silverstone. 6th May DTM. Brands Hatch. June 10th Le Mans. 16th - 17th June TGP + Orwell Supersports. Brands Hatch. July 1st Silverstone Classic. July 29th Rally Finland. August 3rd - 5th Le Mans Series. Spa 1000Km. August 19th Oulton Park Gold Cup. August 27th Le Mans Series. Silverstone 1000Km. September 16th World Touring Cars. Brands Hatch. September 23 British F3/GT. Rockingham. September 30th BTCC. Thruxton. October 14th Silverstone LMS and the Silverstone Classic are looking iffy at the moment, for me personally, there is a limit to how many times you can watch Le Mans racers around a flat featureless former airfield without getting bored! I gather this year they are on the international circuit instead. I'm only gonna bother if I don't make it to Spa and/or I'm really bored that weekend. Its a real shame they are not returning to Donington. A real shame. As for the Classic, I was there last year and I had a brilliant day (I'll never forget that Cortina at Woodcote) but I'm tempted to try something new and head for the Gold Cup instead. |

I'll begin my year by watching the Le Mans racers go around a flat featureless former airfield in south-central Florida
The 12 Hours of Sebring (ALMS) St. Petersburg GP (ALMS/IRL) GP of Houston (ALMS/Champcar) Utah GP (ALMS) -- tentative Road America 500 (ALMS/Champcar) The Petit Le Mans (ALMS) Monterey Sportscar Championships (ALMS) There are a few others that might happen if a cheap flight is available. |

That's another Tim voting for much the same list... Lots of sportscars, plus the Seaman Trophy meeting. Life's not complete without ERAs! |

i would love to see 55 cars on the international circuit for LMS, NOT!!!!!
besides its on their website the LMS is on the GP circuit as always, which means the cars go angry on hangar straight, cracker of a place the hangar straight. also you are pretty close to the cars on the hangar as well when they pass, or there is the bank up to the bridge were you can go right to the edge, potentially dangerous but will make for some fantastic footage. |

My original comment that 'there is a limit to how many times you can watch Le Mans racers around a flat featureless former airfield without getting bored!' was purely because I've seen all the MLS visits to the circuit and I've been to the circuit far too many times now and I just fancy some change thats all. yamato, I wouldn't call Sebring flat!! Fairly bumpy track which for me adds to the visual treat of watching the cars. |

I have so many other plans going on, but I'mvery much a "by seat of the pants person".
I have something in MIND later this spring that might allow me to go to Le Mans and use my own CAR in the process! We shall see, it cost another $250 to keep the car tagged and insured another 15 days in Europe, giving me the total of a month in Europe. What I am buying Im not sure so I can tell you... All I can really say is all of them are turbocharged! It rather EASY actually, just think of the companies that offer or promote European Delivery and you'll have about 4 possible answers. Outside of that - WRC@Mexico (working on this one) Nextel Cup@Sears Point Le Mans (hopefully) Long Beach Grand Prix AMA Supercross@Las Vegas (if it doesn't conflict) NHRA Sport Compact@Las Vegas (Driving) NHRA Sport Compact Finals@Pomona (Driving) And as usual, all motorsports activites on TV are powered by Direct TV's new HD-DVR and Window Vista Premium... |

Only Le Mans for me I think, (the time when I was a bachelor is over, it was the Group C era...)
