Peter,
I can tell you no one from the UK came to the Tunnel Championships last month. We hope that will change next year. We had racers from Germany, Netherlands, Australia, Bermuda, Canada and the US.
We have some cats in the bag stirring up big time scratching hard to get out with some news of changes and improvements for next year's race. But until we get them all lined up, they shall remain in the bag. But if all the pieces fall in line, and most have already, all of the racers will love the proposed improvements.
Someone else will have to answer about the racing over in the UK and surrounding countries.
John
