    The meeting at Brands Hatch also had Historic Saloon cars (Ford
    Anglias' going a heck of a lot faster than they were ever intended!!!
    -not a regular on the program though), Formula Ford (which is another
    name for dogem car racing!!!), Renault Clio, Vauxhall Lotus (+ junior
    I think), Ford Fiestas, and Formula Renault.

2103.2I'd recommend itIOSG::DUTTNigel DuttThu Jun 17 1993 15:268
    I went to the TOCA meeting at BH, and it was an excellent package
    (especially from the front row of the Paddock Hill stand). The thing
    that stood out was that it was geared to the entertainment of the
    spectators at the track. They did all those small things that F1 has
    dropped over the last ten years, and which make a lot of difference to
    the spectators - like parading the drivers round the circuit for all to
    see, taking the winners round afterwards, interviewing the winners on
    the PA. And the racing wasn't too bad either.....

    A quick question:-
    
    As fas as I know the final round of the Auto Trader Championship is at
    Silverstone this month, 18th and 19th?, can anyone confirm this and has
    anyone got details of races/times etc. I plan to go but would like to
    plan ahead so I don't miss the racing.
