Someone asked a simular question on the official site.
Apparently the official test days have not been released, but they will be between media day and the first round at thruxton...

All at different circuits.

There's always plenty at Brands. Have a look on their website it might list test days.

keep an eye on MSV website as they usually list test days and also official testing is listed on the TSL Timing website.

Thruxton is usually more resticted on noise and track time.

Unless the track is booked exclusively for touring cars.

Yea that is always the problem which is a shame as its such a great and unique track.

Didnt Vaulkhard smash his Chevy up there in a test last year?

The Golf does look like a fine car. I hope it goes well.

How long until the press bring out the "Plato's Cruze missile" jokes?

The new livery on the TD Civic looks absolutely fantastic! Looks like the old factory Honda Accords from the SuperTourer days.

Hmm, Honda Racing plastered all over Neal's car, I wonder what this could possibly mean? :p :

A clever move by Gow to extend the testing deadline. Means there's very little incentive not to register your entry for media day now. I imagine had the previous rule remained in place, a number of teams would have missed it to get some additional testing in.
