Does this mean the F3 GT will no longer be on this date?

[daydreamer]

JP stated that the reason that they couldn't move the A1 GP original race was because F3/GT was already booked in and couldn't be moved. (source autosport)

So a definite don't know there then

As a competitor in this event, I have, of course, heard nothing official

I was told that if the A1GP got canned then the F3/GT would continue on the same date. I don't have any insider information but I would have thought that some other plan might be found as having BGT clashing with LMES doesn't make much sense without the additional draw of A1GP. I'd imagine though that MSVR are under contract to SRO to run BGT etc. on that date and perhaps the SRO needs to make the call rather than MSVR?

i believe the F3/GT races are still going ahead which is pretty good news if true..

I'm Marshalling the A1 (or rather I was!) but have heard nothing apart from whats in the press!!

Not if it still clashes with LMS at Donington!

Give MSVR a chance, this is the lead up to their first meeting on Sunday and the permanent team at Brands is a little on the small side to say the least! I'm sure there will be confirmation of this once things are clearer with regard to what is happening with the meeting date. It is still more than five months away yet!

I understand that the Brands date is going ahead for F3/GT's & AN Others.

Fozzi I think that's specifically an F3 calendar and the GT one will be slightly different to the F3 one. I'm not sure where you'll find a correct GT one, I tried to find GT reg's on the internet but could only find last years!
