Brands Hatch May 5th?
Has anyone else noticed that Brands is on a Monday? Is May 5th a holiday in the UK?
What's the deal? |

Yeah it's a traditional holiday type date which has had some tradition with racing. Should be a biggie

Monday May 5th is the May Day Bank holiday in England and Wales. Motorsport is not uncommon on bank holidays in this country.

Rookie are you serious? White Rock BC. did you just get off the boat or something. May 5th is not a holiday unless you are taking it off from work on your own time

Canada has very few holidays. Between New Years' and Easter we have no holidays at all. After Good Friday our next holiday is Victoria Day (May 22nd or so.)
However, I will be at the CWS race at Brands because I have a holiday. |

With the amount of good beer all my Canadian freinds can pack away it seems everyday is a holiday.

First Monday in may has been public holiday in Britain since 1978.Motor racing takes place on just about every holiday-I have known eight meetings in one day.
