I’m delighted that everybody has agreed to unite for these races. I think they will provide great entertainment, and there will be a real sense of occasion around the meetings.” <BR> <BR> “It’s a great opportunity for fans to see the three premier championships together,” says TOCA Tour Director Richard West.<BR> <BR> The bumper weekends will take place at the start, middle and end of the season. Each event will be scheduled over three days in order to allow teams sufficient running time.<BR> <BR> Outside of these combined meetings, the F3 and GT championships will continue to headline their own bill (not under the PowerTour name).<BR> <BR> A full calendar for the BTCC, F3 and GT championships will be released shortly. BMP will arrange the calendars so that outside the three ‘super weekends’, the stand-alone British Touring Car and British F3 / GT meetings do not take place on the same weekends.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
