The rumour I heard was Cart were coming to Brands Hatch in May of this year, possibly with a round at Spa before or after the Brands round. Rumour too has it that Bernie now owns Brands Hatch as part of an Octagon pull out of UK Motor Sport. Nothing confirmed yet but I heard before Christmas that Brands Hatch were only waiting for Cart to make the decision to come.
Brands Hatch is a better venie than Rockingham in as much as it is much closer to mainland Europe and so should be able to attract more spectators from France, Holland, Belgium and Germany. Brands is a mere 50 minute drive from the Channel Tunnel and Dover. In fact the M20 motorway goes right behind Paddock Hill Bend and you can see the track from the motorway.
