JULY DATE FOR DONINGTON F3 AND GT

The Donington Park rounds of the Cooper Tires British Formula 3 International Series and the Avon Tyres British GT Championship will take place over the weekend of 18/19 July, it is confirmed today (Weds).

The rescheduled Donington date replaces the 25/26 April event, the postponement of which was announced last week by championship organiser SRO Motorsports Group.

"Donington Park is a very important venue for British F3 and GT, and the circuit has always been very supportive of the championships," said SRO Motorsports Group General Manager Bernadette Fitzsimons, "so we are very pleased that an alternative date for the event could be found. We are looking forward to visiting the new and improved circuit."
