    Anyone got any idea *when* the Donington MotoGP and Brands WSB rounds will
    be next year now Bernie E and his chums have decided to moved the F1 to July
    11th?

    I seem to recall reading that as well as having to move the Donington race,
    there'd be a load of knock-on effects for other races including Brands, but
    can't remember why...

    Well that's what's still on the calendars, but I can't see how they'll keep
    it that way, with the expected 80,000 peeps going on the M1 towards
    Donington and another 80,000 on the same road going towards Silverstone.....
    So its odds-on that Donington moves and then that could have implications on
    other rounds which may have the knock-on effect of bumping Brands.

    Donnington is July 11th
    Brands WSB has moved to August 1st, to avoid a clash with the Suzuka 8 Hour:

    There's room in the calendar to move the Donington MotoGP a week forward to
    the 4th of July, but no official announcements have been made yet...

    " The British MotoGP has been moved from July 11 to 25 to
    avoid a clash with the Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone.

    The F1 event was moved back a week to stop it taking place
    at the same time as the Euro 2004 final and Wimbledon men's
    tennis final.

    The World Federation of Motorcycling has also moved the
    Brazilian MotoGP forward from July 31 to July 4. "

    I believe that WSB will be moved to make way for MotoGP
    but I doubt anyone will be watching it next year anyway...
