What's next for the Tourist Trophy?
The Tourist Trophy has been an event for many different types of cars; Touring cars, Sports Cars & most recently GT's and the FIA GT Championship. But with that probably not visiting the UK and almost certainly not visiting Silverstone, what's next?
A venue shift, prehaps a round of the Blancpain Series? It would be a shame to have a hiatus for such a prestigous event (I know it's happend before, but still.) |

Maybe they could make it the Marque-Event of British GT... who knows, might even get some extra starters for that.

Hmm... Yeah I hope it would either be a Brit GT round with odd extra entrant, or maybe just an open entry GT race.

I'm almost certain it'll be the Blancpain round - I think it's SRO choice though so it's either British GT or Blancpain, but I expect it to be the latter

Blancpain should be about right, as it should be a long distance race. It started as a 500 miler at Ards?

If they want proper Endurance maybe the Britcar 24 could be considered?

S'funny, but I thought the RAC owned that name and trophy, not the Rat?
Surely they can offer it to whichever race the RACMSA deem suitable. |

In that case the WEC is still a candidate.
