The cancellation of Race to the Sky is outlined on the Highlands Park Fb page.
". TQ and the team at Highlands regret to let you know that Race to the Sky (presented by Highlands Motorsport Park) will not be returning in 2016 and beyond. "

That was completely brilliant, thank you. Record with half his engine total missing for over 50% of the run! This might be a turning point, doubt if ant petrol motor will catch up now.
But I do miss the dramatic sound of an engine and gears!

Pity re race to sky. I was told the locals (assume council?) just got too greedy and assumed they'd get away with it but tony pulled out, fairly if that's the case.
