I believe that they will be using the Grand Prix Circuit at Brands Hatch for their first outing.
I think that the Thoroughbred GP Cars are also on the programme, they will also be using the GP Circuit - they were awesome there when the Ferrari Festival took place (2001 & 2002 ?)
Brands Hatch have put top-pricing on this event (GBP 35) - cheap by F1 standards.
I will certainly be going for the Saturday - and if its good probably the Sunday too.

It was on Dutch television last week or so. Extensive interview with the Dutch team. Jos Verstappen will be the main driver (Jeroen Bleekemolen is testdriver and back up). Jan Lammers is team owner. They looked very relaxed and professional about the new series and are genuinly looking forward to it. Let's hope the series gets good coverage so we -as the public - can get a good idea and decide if we like it or not.

I've got tickets for the Sunday (entrance, grandstand and pitlane). Should be good. TGP is OK -- nice cars, but because they're all privately owned they don't want to bend them so the racing isn't that close.

 

Like many others I got a DVD in the F1 magazine and am very much in favor of this series. It will run when the F1 series is off for the winter, plus overall I just think it's a stroke of genius. It's like the World Cup of soccer, but with cars! And good looking cars too! No stupid wings growing on top of some drivers' helmet!

It's nice to see there's a good amount of participation, and with European tracks being dropped from the F1 calendar it will be easy to look world class by simply running on those tracks. Looks like this series just fell into their lap.

Good for them! I'll be watching.
