    From Wikipedia: "Seven of the nine rounds will form meetings of the 2012 World Series by Renault season, with additional rounds in support of the Monaco Grand Prix and the 6 Hours of Silverstone."

    So, basically, there will be free tickets to the FIA World Endurance Championship race!

    Hows that? Sorry I don't understand how you've come to that assumption??

    Especially when the tickets on sale to this event from £15

    From the Renault World Series Site:

    It's just that on their website, it lists the Silverstone tickets as coming soon, and states all tickets are free. Wouldn't they have removed the date by now if it wasn't going ahead?

    And also the fact that the races listed on Silverstone's website over those days is, according to Wikipedia at least, a part of the WSR.

    But your reasoning sounds as plausible so I think we'll just have to wait until Renault updates the website

    Hi, I too was looking forward to 2012 World Series by Renault at Silverstone. After a quick search around forums it doesn't look like it's coming to the UK this year.

    I'm guessing they've all been claimed because it's this weekend, maybe others maybe able to help...but that is what I'd assume...

    Thanks to all who post the comps & please let the comping fairy sprinkle dust on my entries!

    From what I can gather the Monaco one was the same-bad show from RWS to be honest to not release any official statements or anything-just an email round to those who went last year would be a good idea.

    The tickets are usually released a good 2 months in advance so I would say that no its definiteley not a free day out this year.

    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
