Mark.

Likewise, I also sent a email to them basically saying it would have been nice to Know that we are not going to be using the circuit layout we booked and paid for. Gordon now informs us it will be the National track, then there is no way i would have been paying the same money for the National circuit as I would the New GP circuit layout.
I have no issue with the National circuit as its the one we will race on and well suited to the DD bikes, but I may not have bothered getting the 998R ready and certainly wouldn't have paid that money I would more than likely have gone with hottrax date 9 days later who are still saying they are on the Arena GP circuit. If I only wanted to do the National we could have done the one on April 23rd

I really dont mind which track providing I get a few giggles and give the bike a good run out.

Have to agree with Kev.

This time last year we booked the national circuit which was about £75 I think, making the price hike to £125 seem reasonable for the full GP track.

I must say I'm disappointed that no information has come through and I too may well have booked a different date with a more interesting track....

£125 for a 1.6 mile circuit in March is taking the p**s......but at least I might be able to remember it

Also I bet the the groups will be huge as they will have been for a 3 mile circuit!!!!

I've just spoken with Gemma in bookings at FE. She has confirmed that the circuit this weekend will be the BRIDGE GP track. Not the ARENA GP, as it's not ready.

The PDF I received from FE on Jan 21st is just called "Silverstone Itinerary International & GP.pdf" I can't see within it any mention of the ARENA GP.

Anyway, it doesn't look like I will have a bike available for this weekend, so I won't be riding. Anyone interested in a place in the fast group? Available for the original price of £125, which means I'll even pay the 15% admin fee for the name change. If you're interested, let me know, send the money and I'll have the name changed over the phone with FE before Saturday.

Just check out the Circuit layout and the title of the PDF

Yep the same as the one I got, they should have at least had the decency to inform those attending that it had changed even if it wasn't their fault!

[bradders]

At least it looks like a gp track anyway not national

[bradders]

May contact them about cancelling if it's not what I booked and spend ghe money on the session before race day
