This week we have seen the publication of two equally important circuit racing calendars from two championships that have shown that we have a lot to look forward to this year.

First away from the grid was the one from RaceWKND (Please see Finland Racing into 2022). Then two hours later the Circuit Powerboat Association (CPA) published their 2022 British Championship calendar consisting of three rounds along with the British Sprint Championship event.

This championship has classes for GT15, GT30, OSY400, GT Mono Lite (T850-VP13), Formula GP Lite (F4) and Formula GP (F2).

Although we have seen him on the international racing scene competing in the UIM F2 World Championships Colin Jelf said that he was tempted to ‘blow the cobwebs away’ and perhaps compete at a championship round or two, though the teams primary focus in Formula GP would still be on Ian Blacker.

They also mentioned that Ben Jelf might even be making a comeback but that’s still to be confirmed.
