Jerez GP Circuit, 24th - 27th April 2006

Join us at the fantastic JEREZ circuit.

Imagine riding through the flowing curves of a Spanish circuit in temperatures unknown to Britain until the height of the summer months. Then heading back to your hotel full of stories from the full days riding to enjoy Spanish food and good hospitality.

Focused Events gives you the chance to break away from the normal UK trackday routine by offering 4 full days riding on track. Accommodation will be at a 3 or 4 Star Hotel, with lots of entertainment. Transfers to and from the circuit everyday. Fully insured bike transport and flights from the UK. The trip is suitable for riders of all abilities and is an excellent opportunity for riders to hone their track skills by riding for four consecutive days with free instruction. We can also offer a competitive non-rider package ideal for treating partners or bringing the family.

Circuito De Jerez is an exciting 2.75 mile circuit with 15 corners. It is one of the favourite places for winter testing for Grand Prix teams and this year held the opening round of the GRAND PRIX SEASON. It offers riders the chance to sample its long uphill start-finish straight which is linked by 9 right hand turns and 6 left hand turns all of which vary in radius and gradient. This is the circuit that will have you thinking about Rossi and Doohan while either changing up through the gearbox or hammering on the brakes....!

You will need a good rest when you get home !

This area sees average temperatures as high as 28oc with rain being virtually unknown. Not as a typical day in Britain then!.

What can you take, wheels, tyres, spares, paddock stands etc, flights from the UK? Which airport? what times? Stansted to Jerez (the only direct flight to Jerez) or a.n.other airport?

Is it open pit lane, or is it groups? if so two or three groups?

Non of which are on their website or answered over email sent by several peeps including myself, thus why I asked if you if had the info to hand? I assume you asked all of this prior to booking?

they replied to my ?s last week.transport is with moto-freight.(norwich) ,running two groups. the moto-freight do all the say so with tyres,last year was two sets i think?..

I'm deffo up for this one, don't anybody dare book without telling me..............................

please????

v2 petes just this min booked to find places are near gone! ;)

dial & smile jon:o,,,ring & sing;)

Oh well, looks like you and V2 gonna be on yer own.

Why did you not tell the rest of us?

Oh, Oh...I think I'm going to ring up and book!

Ian find out what the bobby moore is with places if you do and I'll follow suit, I'm sure Yeti will also

Got to say I'm not sure I want to go now. It's a bit odd they all kep it a bit quiet till the last don't you think?

Jon, 8 - 10 places left, 3 groups (not surprising at the price). Deal includes transfers from A/P to Hotel and from Hotel to track each day (based on Stansted flight, guess you could fly from else where and just get taxi to hotel. As Pedro says, Hotel still under negotiation (best take a sleeping bag) I've booked just this minute...£100 deposit.

Go on, you know it makes sense! If its the hotel out at the track, 4 people sharing a taxi to town each night will be peanuts!

Any one else going to take the plunge? Jon, John, Andy???

What you say Jon? I'll have a natter with SWMBO (she who must be obeyed tonight), I'm sure Andy will jump on board also

Littlle bit difficult stuck over here in Malaysia at half past midnight! Just feelin pretty miffed that nobody mentioned this sooner given how much interest there has been. **** it, I'm off to bed.

Jon speak to me before you book.........ive got the nod................Ian what about sharing a room....you smooth talker you?

Andy, excellent news...Re: sharing a room, I'm certified snore-free, but it has been reported that, after being on the drink, I continue talking b0110x for several hours after falling asleep. Nothing a pair of ear-plugs shouldn't cure tho.

Phwew........talking bo$$ox is fine, it was the advances i was fearing most............:cool::lol::lol:

ooooo-er, might book this tomorrow .... :devil:

Hey, what can I say? I won't if you don't (and if you do, I'll be moving in the direction of away at a speed rarely acheived without the aid of at least 100bhp :o )

OK guys SWMBO says yes, so tomorrow I'm gonna book the pair of us on this, bet FE can't believe there luck eh? :lol:

You sure had big fella, for once there might be a valid reason for exposing those legs

Yor in Malaysia ? and theres me thinking you where in Coventry:lol:

Pete what on earth are you doing getting euro's now for.
They will only be worth half of what you paid for them by April:D

jon
i rekon pedro getting a wee bit excited
hes got his suitcase packed already
u doin this trip or you limited to 1 trip a year
i hear rattler may do both

If he get anymore excited he will be soiling his underpants

Just the one for me at the moment Pete. I might be up for another towards the end of the year. I can't see Rattler doing the April date with FO because of his DD commitmets.
