Brands Hatch is not on the 2006 World Superbike provisional calendar because that only includes those races which are contractually committed.

It's fun being around the kids. It warms your heart. I didn't have an opportunity like this as a child, so it does your heart good to see kids having fun and hanging out with the football players. It feels good giving back to the community.

I am a big supporter of GT racing and have always been very keen to have the cars racing on MotorSport Vision's circuits, particularly the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, which is perfect for big powerful sportscars.

I am delighted that the TAG Heuer GT250 has been such a success in its first year and competitors will race in front of one of the biggest crowds at any car motorsport event in the UK this year.
