Really hope this doesn't get cancelled again due to weather as i'm a definate and so is my mate now with his Stage 2+ S3. Also got my old man to come down and run his E60 M5 so should be a cracking day..
Fingers crossed guys..  :happy2:

It was a complete knee-jerk reaction on their part.. With a week to go too?? Seems like they just wanted a weekend off to me..

Weather is looking a little wet for 24th at the moment but fingers crossed its ok..

Are we not going to see some of the Cupra boys there this Sunday? Poverty, Blade, CarrG, Dan GB, Mike TFSI, Rob H?
Come on boys, we all want to see what these Spanish rockets are made of?  :evilgrin:

Makes you wonder if they made the decision early as it was easier to do that knowing that Autosport International was on.

....They will have known Autosport was on for a long time - In fact they had a stand there. I think it more likely that they realised that the snow etc had been very difficult to predict in local areas and that even if the strip itself was clear, the minor access roads could easily have been lethal. I think they were being sensible. Anyway, hindsight is a very exact science.

I'm afraid that next weekend might not be too clever if it's wet and the temperature drops again as currently expected, but it's still early days.
