This season I have mostly been following the excellent Britcar series. Went to every round bar Zolder in Belgium (which leaves Silverstone inc the 24hrs, Brands, Snetterton & Oulton Park). Also did the Silverstone Classic, the Birkett 6hr Relay, FIA GT/WTCC and the LMES rounds at Silverstone, TVRCC and MaX5 series at Donington, a couple of clubbies, oh and that endurance race in France...

Haven't finished yet either! Planning a visit to Rockingham next weekend for a stage rally that looks interesting. Where do think I got my PH name from then...?

I've had a fairly quiet one this year - have used my season ticket to go to most events at Brands, including BTCC and A1GP but the only other circuit I've ventured to was Donington for the BTCC opener.

Must try harder next year.

TBH not a clue but I think that since the 1st BGT/F3 weekend at Donnington I was only away from a race track 3 weekends until 19th November.

As well as stuff all over the UK I went to Monza, Mondello, Spa and Le Mans.
