silverstone

Well its that time again, the season opener is this weekend at Silverstone, and as in time honoured tradition my todo list is still large, with items like buy more tie clips, to remove the redundant wires that were in for the rear number plate lights (that the car does not have now)

As we have a strange weekend with qualifying on saturday just before midday, then 2 races on the sunday, some of the other racers are thinking about going karting, I may just take the time to chill a little and do some of the little time consuming jobs that always get left.

Yesterday BARC released the provisional racing dates for the 2011 season for the Kumho bmwrdc championship, the interesting points are the Castle Combe and the Donington events whilst only having one race, will be televised, and the other outstanding item is it looks like we have three races at Pembrey. The 2011 season has provisionally 19 rounds penned so compared to last year when I managed to only do 12 rounds this year could be a lot more involved.

These provisional dates are setup in the calendar but as always with provisional dates are subject to change until confirmed by BARC and the BMWRDC.

The timetable for the first and second rounds has been released
