F4 - 2x 20mins, 1x 25 mins
I know it's a bit early to start this thread but I just wanted to call out how sparse the timetable looks. Just two 20 min races on Saturday and 9 races in total on Sunday. Excluding BTCC races, that's probably less than 2.5 hrs of support races on Sunday, and barely more than 3 hrs over the entire weekend. You know you are in trouble when Sunday includes two 10 minute support series "cars to grid" sessions to pad out the schedule.
Compare that to the equivalent meeting in 2024. Again excluding BTCC we had 6 support races on Saturday totally just over 2 hrs, and 8 support races, totally 3hrs on Sunday.
The cancelled junior series would have had 3 races. I don't recall if they announced race lengths but I would assume 20 mins at most. Even if that hadn't been cancelled that's still quite a drop in track time.
