No British round yet. Why is this?

If you read the full report the say they have got rid of both brands and donny from the calendar but give no reason why!?

Woo hoo... Looks an amazing championship! Pmsl... Maybe the politics are in full swing!!

Will be great, will start to show the real drivers amongst them!!

Corner speed and propper weight distribution on the bike, similiar to what the LCR/Windles were originally designed for.

Really Belly. C'mon now, you have to admit it looks fantastic

its going to be tough fitting all those rounds in.

James, the bike flying around last year might be a bit slower with a standard engine! However I do agree it was impressive. However I can't imagine people spending the sort of money in Ben & Toms bike to change over to 600s for that sort of championship. I'm just being realistic nobody has any money hence when the grids have stopped! People aren't going to suddenly decide to race because of 600s!

I just dont see the point, if the idea is to slow it all down then Tom and Ben have all ready shown that it wont hapen! Where are all the engines going to come from?

It would be good to have the last round at the Donington BSB with the RKB-F1 runners

Just don't see the point as already said by several,just restrict the F1 engines if speed safety is a concern like Phil said the 600 of Ben and Tom's is not much slower ,but how much has been invested to make it go like it does
