Do You guys really support the idea to have a round of national championship held behind The Channel? It must be very costly for the local teams.

It feels like potentially a year or two too early for this move - given the series has only just been restored to health. Don't run before you can walk. But there's plenty of precedent for it in the UK. We have British GT rounds at Spa, and other single seater events abroad. Plus it would be another event with some decent mileage which we are lacking right now.

Like mintexmemory said I would happily travel to this if it happened.

Maybe Ypres are using this as a lever to try and get the ERC to up their game...

Far cheaper ferry costs to Dunkirk or Calais than to the IoM and from London about 110 miles on the road so much closer. Camping in Ypres is excellent so if it was a round of BRC I reckon there'd be a Brit invasion (Unless there is a Brexit prohibition on continental travel!!)

EC membership not necessary. UK is still a member of Eurovision, member countries are all in UEFA. We also have a long standing record of having fought for Belgium's existence since 1815. No small matter of Brexit will come between Brits and Belgies! Originally Posted by itix

Yes, but if you're not part of EU it's much more difficult with logistics
