This is another example of the ISC organisers making statements that are, frankly, ludicrous. The biggest real GT Championship ever run on British soil? What is a real GT Championship? Presumably events such as the BPR and the FIA GT Championship don't count? Or 38 Privilege entries at Silverstone's GP meeting?<BR> <BR> To his credit, Dominic Chappell has instantly responded to correct that statement. "This is currently the biggest pure GT Championship in the country," is the preferred wording.<BR> <BR> Anyway, the anticipated line-up for Rockingham on July 1 is as follows:<BR> <BR> <BR> CSG Motorsport 2X Lister Storm<BR> NCK Motorsport 2X Marcos LM600<BR> Tech 9 Motorsport 2X Porsche<BR> Mike Haines Racing 2X Lotus Esprit<BR> Atomic Kitten Motorsport 2X Corvette<BR> Pro-Tran Competition 1X Venturi<BR> Brookspeed Motorsport 2X Viper<BR> Speedworx Motorsport 2X Stealth<BR> Teledata Racing 2X Nissan Skyline<BR> TBC 2X Ferrari<BR> Moore International Motorsport 1X Nissan Skyline<BR> <BR> The ISC organisers never did respond to the views expressed by the Editor of TotalMotorSport on June 8. Their response should have arrived by June 11, but an extra two days were granted in view of discussions going on over the financial backing of the series. Still nothing arrived.<BR> <BR> One response that was received here was a threat not to issue press passes to TotalMotorSport journalists. Dominic Chappell also made it clear that news items on the prospects for the ISC that were willingly posted on this site throughout the first five months of the year were of no benefit to the ISC.<BR> <BR> We'll sit back and let the Championship evolve, before taking a view on whether to cover events in the future. For now, alas, we won't. <BR> <BR> <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>
