Are Britain’s racing circuits perhaps looking for a bit of free publicity at this time of year, hoping to sell a few more advance tickets for the season ahead? The reason I ask is that there’s been a curious glut of track works news stories recently.

It started a week ago with extra run-off at Cadwell Park’s Barn Corner, which MCN picked up on. The same day, MotorSport Vision itself brought news of resurfacing at Brands Hatch, which Crash.net and MCN dutifully relayed this week.

Not to be outdone, Thruxton communicated its efforts in extending spectator banking via BTCC.net on Wednesday.

But Silverstone did the best job, getting details and photos of what they’re up to on the likes of Joe Saward’s blog and autosport.com. MCN, meanwhile, approached it from a different angle, getting the views of Bradley Smith, Scott Redding and Danny Webb.

So: fancy going to a few race meetings now?
