Two co-ordinated major national motor racing series will therefore be promoted next year. One will be headlined by the Privilege GT Championships plus F3, the second by the BTCC (to include a Class B that absorbs the existing National Saloon Car Championship). Support races for the two promotions are still under review. <BR> <BR> Denys Rohan, Chief Executive of Silverstone Circuits Limited, commented that, "If spectators are to enjoy the very best of British motorsport, it is vital the whole industry pulls together. Merging promoted motorsport under the BMP banner enables us to do just that."<BR> <BR> "There will be a total working collaboration between all parties," says Roger Etcell, director of PowerTour. "We are delighted that this agreement has been reached. It is in the best interests of the sport and the fans, and makes sense of all the issues that have developed in recent months. This is an excellent outcome for everyone."<BR> <BR> "We have exciting plans for the next stage in its (PowerTour's) development including the expansion of TV coverage on C4 and Sky as recently announced by TV producers MSC," continued Etcell.</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>
