Plans are already starting to swirl around in my head. How about a pre
Le Mans bash to London ?

Great idea Olav!
Ryan Air has dirt cheap flights to London/Standsted and Brands/Kent is only
an hour or so's drive away....
Btw, did you know that Octagon (owners of Brands, snetterton, Silverstone,
Oulton etc..) got a seasonticket offer... cost you 100 and it will give
you [general] admissions to any 4-wheel events held at any of their tracks
thruout the year - bar the Sat and Sun. during the F1 weekend at
Silverstone.. (no loss anyway!) :-)

Yeah, 300 to 800 depending on what time and day for one trip. And
according to a CART web board, tickets are 70 for the whole
weekend. Hmmm, trip and tickets might come out cheaper than tickets
alone at Fontana a few months ago.
Not to bad if you travel England a lot :)

Last I heard, both the Euro ovals were off the schedule. Guess we'll
have to wait and see if anymore announcements are forthcomming.

Not that I can see any of them live here in Canada, but I would love to see
the CART cars at Spa. Brands Hatch will be awesome as well.

CART has added the two-day event to partner with Thursday's announcement of
a race at Brands Hatch to give the series a pair of races in Europe during
the month of May. The German 500 will be the only major open-wheel
oval-track racing event in Europe in 2003. The Champ Car World Series ran a
successful event at Lausitz in 2001 where nearly 150,000 fans streamed
through the turnstiles during the three days of action, but suspended the
event last year due to financial concerns with the speedway's operating
company.

Saw that too. Bummer; probably an issue with insufficient runoff around
Hawthorn and Westfield, which would be seriously quick in a champcar.
Wonder what the laptimes will be; 45 seconds or so? Nearly oval times!
