I've only raced on Donny once, its brilliant, silverstone national is a bit st, although there is an option now to include parrt of the new arena complex on it, so if they use that it will be better

Brands Indy I've done quite a few times and can take it or leave it, paddock hill bend is the best bit, but even thats a bit tame after Eu Rouge.hehedriving

I think im one of the few people that really like rockingham so thats a bonus


and Oulton is great too, so not a bad mix. Yes plenty of circuits missing this year, but with 5 rounds thats always going to be the case.

overall I think Johns got a good provisional line up, we asked for all double headers, we've got them, and we asked for Donny and we've got that.

Not done Raced Donnington or Silverstone (done a trackday and my licence there) either
And I really like the other 3, Mallory did not suite my car.
Shame we are not doing Snetterton again.
But if I had to choose 5 then it would be those 5. so no complaints from me, I would have been happy to do 6 though in 2011.
The May start seems a better option also.

The good thing about only 5 dates nicely spread out is that if there is aparticular circuit you want to do thats not onthe list you can probably slot in a non championship race somewhere...


I have on in mind hehe which will reveal later if the deal comes off....


There is always the 360min race at snett if you need a snett fix

Silverstone National may 21/22

Only been there once in 2008 where is absolutely pissed it down. Jeez it was coming down like stair rods and it was my first ever race. Would be nice to do it in the dry with a little more experience under my belt.

Brands Hatch june 11/12

I bloody hate going there!! Little more than a chuffin kart track, the scruits seem to be little hitlers who always feel the need to pull something no matter if its in the blue book or not, its a 14 hour return trip for a st venue, and it always clashes with Le Mans, and to top it all a bleedin' fox ate my breakfast sausages last time we were there. Dog st!!!!!!!!!

Donnington july 23/24

Looking forward to this as I have never been there before.

Rockingham Aug 27/28

I can't get my head round this track. Turn 1 and the hair pin is exciting enough but the rest is all bit slow and disjointed. Too much concrete for me but overall I can take or leave it.

Oulton Park oct 15

Best track on the calendar and my favourite!!!!!


Shame about not going to Mallory, Cadwell and Snetterton. I really enjoy those tracks.

I go to Brands a fair bit with the photography and I regularly bump into this short ginger haired geezer that keeps going on about what a top bloke that Dave Chant is and that he is welcome there any time! He said that he is the head of the Southern Wing of the DC massive.

I now understand why he likes you so much Archbishop, it's the free wildlife sausages.......

Dates look good to me! Although Silverstone National isn't the biggest, it is still a quick circuit so should be good to get on it rather than watch like I have done so many times! Donington was dads favourite track after Cadwell in the UK - can't wait to drive there! Won't be doing Brands I'm afraid... Rockingham I actually enjoyed this year, and Oulton is another I'm looking forward to actually driving on!!

I like the nice spread out dates - as G says there's many other race series we can enter for more venues (I'm thinking of the Croft Championship to get a Cadwell!) biggrin
