The BRSCC-SE website (who last year assisted in organising the event) has the Brands Hatch Round of A1GP to be held over August Bank Holiday weekend (26/27 August). Still provisional, but a safe enough bet. Starting quite a bit earlier than this season then (we can safely assume that Brands will be the opening round), hopefully this will mean extra rounds?
My concern is that it is "eating into" the actual motorsport season, and one of the big advantages of A1GP is that it's the off season sport. That's a busy weekend historically for motorsport in the UK anyway, although it'll certainly be a really good meeting and worth going to, will crowds and interest suffer?
Isn't it completely irresponsible to put A1 GP on at Brands over August Bank Holiday, stomping all over some of the biggest events for many circuits across the country?

With so many potential dates, and a guarantee of a big crowd on any of them, why pick this date!!!!

Plus its only a couple of weeks after the GP Masters at Silverstone.

So much for being an off season series!!!!
