It's a bit of a slog for the teams, and no mention of whether spectators are allowed.
I have hospitality booked with Speedworks but unsure how it will work within the current distancing measures.
Will wait and see what happens.

stopped watching BTCC after John Cleland rammed another driver out of the way.

A bit different having a Volvo Estate in the races

Not so much of that is allowed these days, whether it's improved the racing is debatable.

I don't see ramming someone as racing but cheating.

It maybe not allowed, but i've seen more than one race where it still happens.

Not happy for me.......Tickets and Hotel booked for Croft this year. Now moved from August to October which we can't do.

Was due to meet up with friends on here as well......Hopefully will be able to transfer our hotel booking and race tickets to next year instead.

Croft is my normal visit. I have tickets ect for it too. Fortunately we can get there without staying anywhere. If you managed to go this year I’ll see you there!

Our local circuits are Snetterton and Brands Hatch which we usually visit one or the other every year.
Our special Jolly is usually to Knockhill but this year we thought we would do Croft for a change.
Looking unlikely that October would be doable for us .
Hope that we can defer our tickets and hotel for next year, although that will mean missing out on Knockhill!

Far worse problems to be had at the moment though.

Enjoy it this year and if our situation changes and we can make it, I’ll post up here.
