Once in a lifetime opportunities tend to be more frequent than expected. Theres always next year and maybe with the extra push of not doing it this year more people will commit to it!

Meanwhile enjoy the friendly circuit.

Happy either way

Would that be like the mad rush of people comitting this year because they missed Assen last?

Spa was my once in a lifetime chance due to nabbing a decent 1yr sponsor!

With grids shrinking it's more likely DD will dissolve before enough are prepared/able to do a Euro trip. :(

Spa would be great, but gotta be time to commit and if that means mallory ce la vie

Maybe we should start gathering numbers and looking for other grids to join a bit earlier. Would be interesting to know why people did not opt for Spa? I winced at the cost and the distance.

Maybe we could look at a few laps of the ringroad at Leamington Spa?

Or Woodhall Spa on the way to Cadwell?

It did occur to me and this maybe a crazt idea but if we all got together for 15 mins at one of the tracks we could sort a few things out that seem to take up a lot of posts.

Would people prefer to do a smaller continental track or one closed to the channel or does it have to be one of the big name circuits??

I would have liked to go to spa... But for this series, I do think it is probably for the best we stay at uk circuits. Everyone is happier that way.

I look at from the perspective of the track day companys forgein days where they transport your bike, 2 days on track + accom you get a cheap flight and its cheaper or simular to Spa.

its more a question of where we can get authority to race on a UK licence than which track we'd like I think

Sure, it was always going to be more expensive especially if you couldn't share the cost with others for travelling etc, but then this year is more expensive anyway. If it was anything like Assen it would have been a great 'I did that' box to tick but tbh I've actually had more fun last year at UK tracks than I did at Assen in 08

I'll be planning for Mallory now, so best get a few afternoons in!!
