The date of the Donington Park event is yet to be announced, but will not impact the start or finish dates of the 2012 season. BTCC organiser TOCA expects to be in a position to announce that calendar date within the next three weeks. Meanwhile, the 2011 title reaches its conclusion soon, with just three penultimate races to go, at Brands Hatch in a week and a half’s time (Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 October), then the Silverstone finale October 15-16th. Honda Racing team-mates, Worcestershire’s Matt Neal and Fife’s Gordon Shedden, will arrive at Brands tying for the championship lead in their Civics with factory Silverline Chevrolet Cruze rival Jason Plato, from Oxford, their nearest rival, 25 points adrift. However, there is a possible maximum of 52 points available from Brands Hatch and a further 52 on offer in the season’s final three races at British Formula 1 Grand Prix venue Silverstone, Northants (Sat 15 & Sun 16 Oct). In fact the top seven in the standings can, mathematically, still become BTCC Champion in 2011 so it’s all to play for.
