ROCKINGHAM RETURNS TO BTCC CALENDAR
The Rockingham circuit in Northamptonshire will host one
of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship’s
ten race meetings in 2007.
Rockingham’s BTCC race date will be on Sunday 22 April.
Confirmation of its inclusion completes the BTCC calendar,
with the other nine fixtures having already been announced.
BTCC Series Director Alan Gow commented: "We are delighted
to be able to return to Rockingham. Its unique track layout,
up-to-date facilities and terrific viewing areas for the spectators
all proved a great hit with the drivers, teams, spectators
and sponsors when we raced there in 2003.
"In fact, a great many of our fans have constantly been
asking me to take the BTCC back to Rockingham, so this is
also for them. I’m sure it will receive great support
and prove to be warmly welcomed back on our schedule.
"Rockingham’s inclusion also means that the BTCC
will continue to be in action in eight counties, ensuring
that the championship remains as accessible as possible for
the public in all four corners of the UK."
