Angry BSB invasion

BSB invasion

Just come back from a focused events day at Oulton and although we were treated to a BSB showdown we were robed of track time, 1/2 hour in the morning and a full session the afternoon. No mention of it before booking, gutted. Wanted to give my new bike a shakedown but 4 twenty mins didn’t do the trick. Apparently this is doing us a favour!!!!

apparently this has been the case on quite a few of their days so far this year.

I would be very unimpressed if I had paid full money for the day without being told about it.

Typical FE customer service - they stink. I avoid Focused Events trackdays whenever possible.

Yup happened a few times already this year with FE and they say you were treated to some of the best racers in the world as come kind of compensation.

I don't do any UK dates with them if it can be avoided, Anglesey yesterday had TWO magazine there with Whitham and Hoyles they were just playing in the fast group no problem.

Strange because there were two BSB teams there, one of which were running in the fast group, that was fine, pay your money and mix it up with the rest. Another nark was the fact they moved me up to the fast group and wouldn't let me back down, first ever ride on my DD bike and an extra 100 + BHP would have been very useful LOL
