The word is " P R O V I S I O N A L "
Taken from the BTCC forum
Quote:
You see, this year - as every year - one change to the F1 calendar has a massive impact on the whole national calendar. Taking the quoted BTCC calendar as an example. Brands and Croft have moved dates. Whatever may have been on the 'now lost to TOCA dates' will be moved elsewhere [or lost] and other classes are then moved to accomodate these changes. The contents of other meetings are then changed around to make this fit, so what you have seen published is subject to change - major change. So as I say every winter, don't book your holidays on the strength of these 'Provisional' calendars. Wait until the Autosport Show in January - when the clubs tend to have calendar handouts on their stands. And even then, they won't be 100%, but probably 95%. And don't forget, when other International series decide they want to move their Donington, or Silverstone date, the whole sorry dates merry go round starts again. |

Further down the food-chain
Spare no sympathy for the BTCC they are relatively safe in the knowledge that circuits will bend over backwards to accomodate them.
It is the lesser championships and events that suffer. They must wait and wait and wait for the 'major championships' to pull their collective fingers out. Meanwhile potential sponsors pull out and they end up with double header week-ends with events at opposite ends of the country. |
