A similar sized gap to this years in the summer then. Who would bet against Brands Hatch being the opening round?

Rounds 13/14/15 might clash with the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours. That's a shame if it does.

Why thye long mideason break in the summer months in a non World Cup/ Euro Championships year? It make no sense to me!

I think the teams like it.

[VkmSpouge]

Shame there is another 6 week break in the middle of the season, hopefully no rounds clash with Le Mans.

[SEATFreak]

Rounds 13/14/15 might clash with the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours. That's a shame if it does.

Fancy a punt that the date for rounds 13, 14 and 15 might be at Croft?

[LiamM]

I'd probably put some money on the Donington round being later in the year next year what with the work that will be needed to be completed over the winter - rather like when they built the new pits

[Eurotech]

If the Le Mans clash does happen, that will put Darre turner in a sticky situation

[Alfa Fan]

Depending of course on him retaining his drive with SEAT.

Got an email from the BTCC earlier, circuits have now been matched to the dates

Unfortunately the 13-14 June date at Croft does clash with the Le Mans 24 Hours...

[BDunnell]

Have to say I'm no fan of the mid-season break. It means there's a period at the height of the sporting year when the championship is effectively forgotten about.
