Good point on the Dutch and English fixture list, needs to be an agreement because we are the only 2 countries that run F1, so we should work together rather than against. Bit of a kick in the teeth for the dutch as they brought a huge number of fans and drivers down to many meetings in the uk.

fantastic lads keep going just watching the captain win the final at bradford on a dodgy video . well done sir chaos

Have to agree re the start of the season, it never really gets going until post Easter.
Would’ve preferred to see the shootout finale at a different venue to Bradford as it was staged there this season. Keep the WF format as it is. Happy to see Aldershot on the fixture list being local to me in London. Hoping they ramp up this meeting, big prize money, incentives etc. Losing Wimbledon was a huge loss in the south, both to BriSCA & Spedeworth.

As a fan ( and having spoken to other fans) I personally would like to see the world final where ONLY the top 30 drivers are pitched against other.
I don't agree with Neil's comments on it being part of the drama.....the drama IS the world final, there is no drama in any race when it's down to a few drivers who could change the outcome.
Keep the British to allcomers, but the world final should remain the best against the best.
As for Tom Harris, yes he is the best at the moment...he has a good racing package but he can be beaten....he is the new stu smith and others have to catch up.....just look at his race craft, Tom has the ability to move through the field and will push anybody out of the way.

i think thats the big thing no1 or very few can afford 2 take on mr harris , also the nec the lads have just put on there there show people are leaving but theres never anybody handing out fixture lists there when peoples intrest is still high and a couple of times ive seen people looking to talk 2 drivers about costs etc and theres no1 there ,,,, ps bring back capt chaos
