Motorsport in the UK
I have just arrived in London from Australia for two years on a working visa. I don't know anything about your local racing over here. What are the best events coming up and are they easy to get to from London? I really want to see as much European motor racing as I can while I am here. Any Information would be greatly appreciated.
I have seen and have interest in everything from V8 Supercars all over Australia to F1, Indycar and basically anything with a motor and wheels. |

Jos rallycross is indeed the weekend of 15th & 16th November and I believe a winter series finale the weekend after for the BRSCC event.

Donington Park (Nr Derby but see www.marshalspost.com for all circuit details) this Sunday 9th November has Trucks, Karts and 2-CVs. For my money the Karts will be best fun but it is quite a good circuit for trucks.

The meeting at Silverstone this coming weekend should be a cracking one! Loads of Formula Fords - six races I think, minis, porsches, clubmans, historic sports cars. 15 races in all over the two days.

TMS - If you are able to next season - you really want to see some Speed Hillclimb! F3 Tubs paired down, massive downforce, F1 Engines - result 140MPH up Twisty narrow country tracks against the clock - Yum!
