When was the last * race (anywhere) that was held on a Saturday? The Swedish touring cars used to (by that I mean last few years) run on Saturdays, but for TV reasons rather than religionists. The current British Sunday Trading Act only came in during 1994 - and is still quite restrictive. I don't think Scotland has any rules.

EDIT : * Formula One
