I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR 15:16, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"Bräck, the season points leader heading into the race was awarded the pole position" - might read better with em dashes, but feel free to ignore...

"The race was due to be held over 210 laps originally but was reduced to 168" - is there a given reason?
It was the event's schedule had to be compacted because of the problems in the previous two days MWright96 (talk) 21:42, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

" and was held on 22 September at the Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby, Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom" - too many. I would personally just write "Corby, Northamptonshire", but I'll leave it up to you
I've removed United Kingdom from the sentence. MWright96 (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Kniefel had reduced the number of laps to be run from 168 to 140 because of the danger from fading sunlight" - this could be mentioned in the lead also
