LATEST NEWS FROM THE BRSCC - Wednesday 16th January 2008

* AUTOSPORT SHOW

Many BRSCC members took up the offer of a complimentary ticket to the Autosport Show, which took place at the NEC, Birmingham, between 10th -13th January. The BRSCC stand, sporting a completely new look, was a hive of activity with the new VW Jetta being launched on the Thursday and a photo call for the Keystone Computer Group sponsorship of Powernights taking place on the Friday. The stand was busy throughout the four days as were many of the other stands featuring cars from BRSCC championships. A full report on the Show will appear in the February edition of BRSCC Racing News.

Draft regulations for all BRSCC championships are in process of being submitted to the MSA for approval and should be available to download from our website by the end of this month.

* SPA BECKONS FOR FORMULA FORDSTERS

The British Formula Ford Championship is to spread its wings to mainland Europe later this season with a meeting at the Belgian Grand Prix circuit of Spa-Francorchamps. The twin-race June date at Spa will see the British Championship joining forces with drivers from the Benelux series and will, says Sam Roach, of championship promoter RacingLine, provide a memorable weekend. "It's not often that young drivers are afforded the opportunity to tackle one of the world's greatest circuits, and I am sure it will be a highlight of the British Formula Ford season. We have enjoyed welcoming our Benelux counterparts, whose championship has also adopted the Duratec power unit, in the UK in recent seasons and I know that they are keen to reciprocate."
