A dry day has made the circuit look good and the team at Little Silver are pleased with the lead up to their first major event. Early morning sunshine enabled us to take this picture at approx 11.30am on Friday as sunshine appeared which lasted the whole day. Consulations have been taking place with the local Met office who are forecasting overnight rain on Saturday, but lessening amounts now forecast for Sunday.

David Thorpe, who lives locally to the circuit, spoke with the Series Manager this morning and agreed the decision to carry on at that time was the correct one. The Ex World Champion praised the Little Silver organisers for the appearance of the track and expressed his wish for the rain to stay away.

The first practise session is due to start at 9am wth the first championship race at 12.15pm.

Defending Champion Brad Anderson is looking forward to battling with his rival from 2009 and showing them that he means business again in 2010.

"At the first British round (last year) I shocked everyone including myself and I just came forward from there. I was consistent and I just can’t wait until this year starts because I am really fired up again. I think everyone will be gunning for me, especially Swanepoel because he was my main rival last year and he’s a good rider. I am the one they will be trying to beat as I am the champion."
