Which ones at brands?

[touring fan]

Will all the support series be at brands for the CART or only a few?

[Alfa Fan]

The Renault Clios are going I think.

[thommo_fan]

both renault championships are going, formula renault as well as the clio's

[thommo_fan]

i've just seen the timetable and it says formula renault, renault clio's, formula ford, porsches and heritage GT's.
if your going on monday you won't see the clio's because their race is on sunday.
dam

[touring fan]

So all of them will be there at some point during the weekend then?
Shame about the clios though, I'm not going on the sunday. :( Is there anything happening on the saturday?

[Sim_Da_BTCC_Man]

How it the padock being set out? they have a job fitting all the supports in the outer padock without the BTCC there. Could the Grand Prix loop be made into an aditional padock of some sort if nessisary or will the be using somewhere around the outside or what?

[thommo_fan]

don't have a clue.
on saturday its mainly qualifying and free practice.

[touring fan]

[thommo_fan]

[King Cleland]

Glad the Clio's are going, they are a lot of fun to watch.. don't know much about the championship though!

[thommo_fan]

if your going on monday like me you won't see them, i'm gutted

[AussieV8]

Do have racing on Monday all the time ??

[thommo_fan]

the only races that are on a monday is when the date is a bank holiday.

[Amanda]

Both Brands meetings and Thruxton are on Bank Holiday Mondays.

[thommo_fan]

[Amanda]

Oops ~ how could I forget the first race of the season! Must have been having a dumb blonde moment!!!

[AussieV8]

None of our evnts run over three days . If you count Bathurst on Friday before it is only qualifying.
