Sadly this terrific and prestigious event is rarely broadcast live here in Britain (although the touring car support race is).
Algersuari won the British title at Donington last weekend by the way. Lots of others to keep an eye on for the future: Turvey, Hartley, Maki and Bird for starters. Interesting that Dani Clos can get a Williams F1 test but not a seat for Macau…
