Thundersport has announced an eight-venue, nine-round calendar for the 2012 season, starting with Brands Hatch Indy on the first weekend of March and ending at Mallory Park on the third weekend of October.
The schedule, which has all classes at all rounds instead of a matrix system, has the widest spread of geographical venues with rounds at Oulton and Anglesey plus a visit to Rockingham in the East Midlands.
"At the end of the 2011 season we circulated our draft plans for 2012 to all of our registered riders and volunteers for comment and input. We have listened carefully and have moulded our ideas in accordance with the wishes of the riders as well as all of our valued sponsors and volunteers," said Thundersport boss Dave Stewart.
"We have attempted to schedule events to be as close as possible to four weeks apart in order to make each event come from a separate monthly pay packet and tried to make the average travelling distance, from a geographical point in the centre of the country, as reasonable as possible. It was considered that this would balance out over the course of the full season for everyone."
