It looks like it'll be much reduced next year due to the new rules. Only two sets of dates announced so far;

19-21 June
18-20 Sept

There is usually one about February time and often one in April too but there has been no mention of this so far.

my calendar shows just one silverstone test for '07, wk 25 (w.c. 18th june). but i'm not sure how many teams will be attending - maybe quite a few, and then they might go on from there to goodwood...

with the new testing limits, i don't think there will be any pre-season testing at silverstone, it would be a waste of time (unless bridgestone wanted to test a wet/cold tyre...)

Is that right that the Hungarian GP is on a Monday in 07?

Weird..

Looks like someone's made a bit of a cock-up. There's no way the race will be on a Monday even if it was a Hungarian public holiday.

I'm hoping it's a typo....especially as the front screen you are pointing to says 5th.

They have today changed the date to the Sunday. Phew! looks like I'll be able to cancel the off sire meeting I'd planned for the Monday.
