Formula Renault UK Cancelled

[Marc W]

It's unlikely to be replaced at all at this late stage, all the other championships have already fixed their calendars and it would cause lots of issues to change it so they will probably just rearrange the timetable and have an early finsih on Saturday. There are several rounds that ddin;t have the Fornula Renault Uk cars at anyway so they won't be changed.

Also, the racing in FR and FBMW have generally been poor because of the cars were underpowered/produced too much DF.

I think you are confusing FR with F3.
FR has a pretty good power:downforce ratio... F3 has too much grip for the power levels.

This years support is looking awful.

Formula Renault CANCELLED
Ginetta GT Supercup 12 CARS
Ginetta Junior 14 CARS
Porsche Carrera Cup 21 CARS (reasonable)
Renault Clios 23 CARS (reasonable)

It's going to be a rather dull year outside the BTCC I fear.

I think your expectations are too high.
21 cars for the PCCGB is good, and Clios have significantly increased in numbers since last year. Especially as there are 25 signed up so far, rather than the 23 you claim. ...And I know of at least one more driver who should be in Clios this season but hasn't been announced yet.

On the plus side the race meeting will be shorter so you won't have to wait around for the last touring car race as long. It maybe that i'm impatient but i get bored waiting for the last race.

I'm not sure that less time to repair accident damage between BTCC races is a good thing these days.

FR is a spec series which makes it even worse.

The racing is tedious and it's clearly apparent it's the aero package.

F3 is not as bad as it was, say about 5 years ago, IMO.

That's a bloody good car count.

Clio's is excelllent if not quite the heyday of grouped quali sessions.

Every other year there's a fear of getting double figures of Porsche.

And the numbers keep rising: New entries announced today in Clios (taking it to 26) and Porsche (22).

Has anyone considered the possibility of pick-up truck racing? The kind that used to support the ASCAR series at Rockingham. They were great fun to watch.

[inimitablestoo]

One of the higher profile series outside the BTCC and F3 packages, the Pickups. I wouldn't be surprised to see them at least once.

They could have brought the Smarts onto the bill this weekend but, given the date, people might have thought it wasn't a real series...
