Yes
The MSV circuits have now published their 2019 calendars, which can be found here:

https://shop.msv.com/Calendar

Sadly, they don't seem to be publishing an ICS file this year so you can add it to your calendar app.

I find the google calendars available from Pat on https://toomuchracing.com/calendar/ to be really useful - multiple series and lots of useful information to save you looking for it yourself.

The HSCC also publish an ics file here:

If anyone else has any useful 2019 calendar links, please post them.
 
A lot of calender's should be finalised after this weeks Autosports Show.

Things like autotests and trials can be a good way to improve things like panning shots.

Whatever motor sport you decide to go and take photographs at enjoy it, but stay safe.

It is possible to go and spectate at Oulton Park on testing days?
 
It is possible to go and spectate at Oulton Park on testing days?

Generally yes and the same applies to most circuits. But some are closed, if for instance a company/team are testing something a bit different. A quick call will usually give you the answer.
 
It is possible to go and spectate at Oulton Park on testing days?

Yes you can usually. If it's a private test it will usually say Private Event on the Oulton Park website daily calendar. Open test days you can go in and spectate for nothing
 
Generally yes. You may get a team in say clios testing a new driver or a club racer getting in some more miles or testing/bedding in a new engine etc. You really just don't know what or who will be there.
 
I see. Do you get a mixed bag of categories on open test days?

You might get three Clios and a couple of Formula Ford 1600 cars, or you might get most of the British GT and F3 or BTCC field turning up alongside some historic stuff. Try and have a look at various major series rulebooks around testing at venues prior to race meetings.

For example I think the rule in British GT is that you can't test at a venue within two weeks of the race meeting date. If you look for an open test day two or three weeks before the meeting there's a fairly high chance you'll see a lot of GT teams out testing.

You sure do, that's one of the exciting things about them your never quite sure what your going to see :) Same with trackdays, I've seen everything from a standard Volvo Estate to a BTCC Car!

I might see if I can rock up to Oulton Park when the next test is on then. Good excuse to get the gear out and test it for the new season.
