Anyone going to watch any racing this weekend. Notice that BTCC is on at Snetterton, GP Masters at Silverstone, and 750MC Club at Brands Hatch. Have a long weekend and am not sure where I want to go. Camping nearby I expect.

Rizla Racing Day in Assen for me (German F3, Dutch Supercar Challenge, Benelux Racing League V6 and apparently yet another boring A1GP demo)

That was last weekend... or did I mix that up with Zandvoort.

Would love to have been somewhere for one of them, but saldy not available - heading off to the shores of Brittany for 2 weeks family R&R.

Indeed we must - Radnor this year is Round four of the BORC and after our trails and tribulations of the first couple of rounds, we should be on song by then with the new engine if you fancy a trundle out to Wales again (9/10 Sep). There is a track day being planned for 2/3 Sep at Marham, but I have now moved from Marham on posting into London (so we might even manage a beer before anything else!) but I am not wholly confident that you would find the same type/atmosphere of event.

If you go to Thruxton for the BTCC you may be disappointed - it's at Snetterton ::) ;D

Thanks, Watched it at Thruxton the weekend before LM set off. I know it was at Snetterton but for some reason the fingers put in Thruxton.
Is there camping at or near Rockingham?

Rick I'm not sure about punter camping at Rockingham, I'd imagine that there isn't any. If you're interested I've got a pair of spare tickets which I'll give free to a good home?

Anybody else?

Assen might just be a good idea! It's been ages since I've been there. Last time I went, I was actually driving on the track in my father's MGB GT, racing my brother in an MGB. Great fun! Damn, that's 20 years ago...getting old.

If you were there for the last time 20 years ago you will not recognize it now.
Changes since then:
- new layout of the track
- new paddock
- new pitlane + start tower
- new grandstands
Only the road to/from will probably be the same and even that was changed a bit a few years ago ;)
Might see ya there!
