Really???!!! Fantastic, I really hope that first 110mph chichane off the start finish straight makes it onto the circuit configuration - one of the finest touring car sights and sounds from my memories of last visit.
Everybody, champagne all round! Keep on drinking - especially you. I like it when you\'re drunk...

I'd rather have Silverstone over a return to Thruxton.. But, that aside, I think Rockingham is better than Silverstone...

if they use the same config as the gts then the t1 chicane is not used(they carry on on the banked oval). also after coming down behind the "school straight" they no longer go up to t3 re-entry onto the oval. they use the link by the heli pad which re-joins the oval after t4 exit. this means a flat out run from t4 to the t2 in-field entry. personally i'd prefer the use of the t1 chicane and the slingshot run to the finish through t4.

This is quite good news. Although Rockingham is in Corby *Shudder* it's still a good track
