If you mean Arena Essex, it closed and is soon to be developed for housing.

There is no time for fun and games on a public forum with this man, your petty mistakes will be addressed, even if made in jest, you know that by now!

Meantime Jade has now pretty much confirmed she can be discounted from the Motorbase ride https://twitter.com/JadeEdwards9/sta...28562324439040

I thought perhaps there may have been a place called Essex Arena, I didn't know about.

Is Essex Arena a venue where young ladies perform an ancient ritual of dance whilst encircling the God Handbag?

We could possibly install an oval race track between the God and the ladies, no?

Rory Butcher posted a picture on Instagram yesterday. It was liked by Pro Alloy, a Motorbase supplier/sponsor.

And now confirmed, as she's launched her traditional "9 for 9" for the Ginetta GT Supercup.

Donington, Oulton and Brands are all currently having track maintenance and stuff done at the moment. Several teams normally get away to Spain or Portugal in February for testing.

For those who think it’s beneficial, a couple of the team bosses were saying at ASI it’s really not worth the trek and expense to test in circuits they won’t race on and don’t have any similarities to the UK tracks.

Expecting some teams to venture out in Feb in the UK.

I think this was the point they came to realise the expense is not always worth it:



I did hear some of the chat from ASI, where the possibilities of overseas testing was discussed. It definitely seems less favourable now.

Yes indeed, might sound like a good idea, but that picture highlights the issues they had last year!
