Have been told I’m doing the Classic Bol again, and have my eye on Estoril if its confirmed, as haven’t been since 2000.

are you talking motogp or endurance racing with phase 1 mate ??

P1.
Was 3rd last time with Linden, Nowland and Mertens.
Was tyre Monkey for that event and the only one to find the night club under the stand.
No one turned up till 4 am!

ah fair enough mate

assens a definite for motogp especially with the race being on a saturday,means you only need the 1 day off work to get there and back LOL

Ah Assen - Cold 2 part race
3rd and 5th in 95’ fuelman
Stroud and Holden, Manley and Bruno Bonhuil
Our first pole by Andrew, then the throttle broke while in the lead

Le Mans in April (Endurance) .... will it be snow, rain, or heatwave



Whens the classic Bol

See link above to race24 for WEC,BSB and GP’s
(don’t know why I bother sometimes)

Anyway April 13th, weekend before Le Mans.
Make it a round trip.

Not so much sick or the great unwashed.


Classic was nearly t-shirt weather all weekend
If I knew how, I’d post a photo or two.

Mini Motos down dawlish warren. Fastest things in the west.

Got to be Valencia Went in 2005, the ride through the Pyrenees was awsome. Its the last round and Cheste on the saturday night is just plain bonkers

Great track, and you can see it all from any of the grandstands, although we did have main straight seats above the Suzuki pit

Gotta be Valencia......great ride there and back.....excellent track for viewing.....Spanish weather, food & San mig.....and Cheste on the Saturday night....!!

Estoril is pretty good as well, Cascais provides a good nights entertainment.

Big plus's with most of the foreigns is you usually get value for money.....unlike the tracks in Brown's Britain..!!

I'm doing Jerez, Le Mans and Valencia moto gp's this year. I'd like to do Catalunya as well but I'm at a wedding that weekend.

I've been to all of the above before and they are fekking excellent for all the reasons Paul mentioned above. Dont believe him normally though as he is a big fat baldy lying git.

Merry Xmas

For me it's Assen.

But what about the NW200, ok it's a street circuit But I have heard loadsa of good stuff about the week long event

Looking to make it over there in 2008

tom, how long does it take to ride/drive to jerez and valencia and do you get the ferry from plym to santander or another route

cheers

assen for me too.....although the circuit isn't as good as it used to be with the track changes
must admit andy has got a good point about the nw200 only seen it on the telly and the riders are all TRULY MENTAL to run around at them speeds
