It would be nice to have Rockingham on a Trophy car as well, but congratulations to Antony, it's good to see a driver such as him recieve some decent backing.

I am surprised that Rockingham are backing a team to be honest. Sometimes you get the impression that they are not interesed in the racing or promoting the motorsport facility. Hopefully they have had a change of heart. However I think it will be a very good bit of advertising for them and not to mention good for Mr. Hawkins.
Congrats

I was also told that Pickups would be supporting British F3/GT in May - excellent news. Hope to see many of you then.

May be a representitive of rockingham should come on here with a statement from above saying there reasons for not having the V8's at rockingham and also tell us what the future holds for the V8's to be back where they belong.
As a member of my family says (who has been a member since day 1 i would like to add) "i thought the whole point of the oval being built was for oval racing,not to look pritty for infield racing".Theres only 1 Tony Hurdle, 1 Tony Hurdle, theres only 1 Tony Hurdleeeeeeeeee
i'd simply love to see petter doing a one-off, whatever the converage, the result etc. imagine the end stage interviews hehe. i'd love to hear his thoughta, like i did when latvala raced for toyota....
