Effective Friday February 17th 2020: Dates for all 2020 marquee races are now known and set in stone for next year (see below for the days shaded in green). 2020 is a leap year which, from experience, means that often the promoters will go forward a week in their race dates from the previous year. Some tracks have adopted that philosophy for next year, but others haven’t. Which means that the length of the tour had to be extended by a week. Three dates are still to be filled and they are shown in white. If we can find a race in the vicinity of where we are heading the next day, we will get to it. For example it may be a last minute re-scheduling because of an earlier rain out perhaps. The Hotel names and racetracks are all hyperlinks for you to explore. There is some sightseeing mentioned on this “brief itinerary” but there will be much more included in later, lengthier itineraries.
