ALMS comes to UK

The 12-race series will visit the British circuit on May 13, were it will run as an evening race.

Don Panoz said,Silverstone will be fantastic. There is a big British presence at the Le Mans 24 Hours, and this is a great opportunity to get the fans warmed up. And for the fans who can't make it to Le Mans this is a chance for them to see Le Mans cars at Silverstone.'

ALMS executive director Bill Donaldson added, 'We know from last year that a lot of our fans come from Europe, so the races at Silverstone and the Nurburgring are great opportunities to bring the ALMS to the fans.'

ooooooh, oooooooh....me,me,me.....

The ALMS is sharing a joint-bill with the British GT/F3 power series.

The ALMS should be a 500km race from 6-9pm on the Saturday night and the British GT will be on the Sunday.

I have to say the prospect of watching Le Mans stylee racing at dusk in the UK is most excellent.

The Sunday of the ALMS meeting is the FIA GT round not the British F3/GT/NSC - that's the following weekend (21st)

Thanks for the correction Mr Shoes you wise old sage.

Hey, less of the old.

I've just booked my tickets :) 20 Quid for a weekends worth of racing plus a grandstand seat and a pitlane walkabout. A Bargain. See you There. :)
