    Gary,
    
    Silverstone and Brands Hatch are still the two main British circuits
    (although Donnington would no doubt dispute this), but Goodwood is no
    longer used for racing.
    
    Autosport lists upcoming events as does Motoring News, but only usually
    about 2 weeks ahead as both are weekly publications. Motor Sport may be
    a better choice being a monthly.
    
    I've never been to a motor race where you need to buy tickets in advance
    so you should be alright (unless you want Grandstand seats for the GP,
    in which csae you MIGHT get tickets for 1992 if you're quick!).
    
    What sort of cars do you mean by vintage? There are two types of 
    historic racing in Britain. The HSCC runs races for '60s and '70s cars
    and another club for cars before that (mainly '50s). The HSCC usually
    takes over a whole meeting so you'll get all historics. If you like
    I'll post details of historic races scheduled for the AUTUMN (:^)) when
    the MN calendar appears (probably in the next week or two).
    
    You can walk around most British circuits, from corner to corner.
    
    Hope this helps,
    
    Mark

    re: .1
    
    I am primarily interested in mid 1950s through mid 1960s, but wouldn't
    turn down anything surrounding that era by a few years. I will look for
    the autumn listings.
    
    re: .2
    
    I will write - sounds like just the ticket (so to speak).
    
    Thanks to both.
    
    Cheers...Gary

    
    Gary,
    
    I had a Silverstone publicity thing drop through the door on Friday. It
    lists a number of events for 1991 with prices. Drop me a mail if you'd
    like it put in the internal.
    
    Geoff
    

 Any chance of posting the info in here ?  I am sure that a fair few people
would be interested.
