Motorsport Vision circuits off the 2005 Calendar?

[V8 Archie]

Assuming there is one that is .

It appears (here) that the SRO got discounted rates as low as £2,500 for the Motorsport Vision circuits. Jonathan Palmer is not going to let that happen this year.

...from 2005, SRO must pay the same circuit hire fees as every other organising club... the normal circuit hire price of £18,000 per day at Brands Hatch, £9,000 at Snetterton and £14,500 at Oulton Park.

I'd have though that the Tuscans/ TVR challenge would have been able to get a good deal from MSV to join up with their new touring car type series.

MSV do have some of the best circuits

Brands Hatch
Snetterton
Oulton Park
Cadwell Park

Where does that leave

Silverstone
Castle Combe
Rockingham
Knockhill
Thruxton
Pembrey
Donnington
Croft


I can't see the GT's at
Anglesey ( pity, great location and circuit with plans to extend)
or Lydden Hill
Goodwood ( Noise restrictions)
mallory ( you would get a good view though, but dizzy)

and there is also Jurby on th iom...

Plenty or ranting here and here.

In general not good - but then again Brands and Snett are a right pain to get to for some of us .

I can't see the Tuscans going back to Cadwell after the horrendous accidents there.

Pity its an awesome circuit, plenty of runoff on most of it just none on the mountain section...

and it is a tad narrow.

i bet you could get some serious air on the mountain...

I believe parts of car (big, heavy parts, like engine and gearbox) ended up in the crowd. Not good at all.

It is a great circuit - my race debut was there. Would not like to race a Tuscan there though. Too narrow by far!
