Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

The Countdown to Registration Has Begun!

  11.15Silverstone 010.jpg  FS2008 is set to be the busiest registration so far, with new worldwide teams expressing an interest in registering for the first time, as well as previous teams returning for another chance to win one of the highly contested prizes and awards.  This year, registration numbers will be capped at 88 running cars, due to limited garage space, so you need to register and pay early to secure your place. Online Registration opens on 15 January 2008 and the details can be accessed here.
