I forgot about the Revival; Speed Channel usually broadcasts' it during the off-season but most years there's a mention of it on the Speed Report.......

Seeing as I've got more hope where I currently am of seeing a squadron of tutu wearing pigs do a formation fly past and acrobatic display than I have of seeing the BTCC championship if someone could let us know how it goes that would be great.

I'll post some updates on the BTCC thread c_a_t.

Ha no worries - Just watched the first Moto race (125s) from the brand new Aragon circuit, not too bad for a Tilke design and has a series of downhill turns called "The corkscrew" - wonder how he thought of that one and a stunning last lap/last turn lunge for 1st from Pol Espargaro.
