Calendar changes

WITH the cancellation of the Long Distance Sports Car BOAC 1000 at Brands Hatch (not enough spectators providing not enough profit) and the Sebring 12-Hour race (no circuit, the old Airfield having finally been abandoned) two new events have been accepted to replace them. On March 25th there is to be a 6-Hour race on the Vallelunga Autodrome just north of Rome, and on April 14th there is a 1000 kilometre race on the new Autodrome at Dijon, in eastern France. Both circuits would seem to be a bit on the small side for a Long Distance classic, but time will tell.
