We’re taking a long weekend in the UK – we get Monday 3rd May off as a national holiday. It’s the annual ‘May Day’ holiday.

just-auto will therefore be closed for the day on the 3rd and no daily newsletters will be sent out. The editor’s weekly newsletter will also be in your Inbox on Tuesday rather than the usual Monday next week.

The weather forecast here in the UK for the long ‘bank holiday weekend’ isn’t looking all that good.

If outdoor plans are iffy, this weekend’s Donington Historic Festival can be watched from the comfort of your own armchair for free, thanks to live streaming of every race on both days, which will be broadcast on the Festival’s website via YouTube. The live stream starts at 1pm (BST) on Saturday, 1 May and 11am (BST) on Sunday, 2 May.

For us, normal service resumes on Tuesday.

Have a nice weekend and, whatever you do, please drive safely.
