Sad that there will be no SEATs for the first time since 2004 I believe (unless STR manage to get a car out for one or two rounds) but that said it is shaping up to be another exciting year if you enjoy your racing.

Everything has turbo so should be no "equivilency" gripes this year but we''ll probably find another controvesry to mull over .

No Formula borings either so more sleep/drink/shop time. What more could you want?

Barmy Army will be there as ever so if you want a great day out don't be afraid to join us
