There will be an open pitlane trackday for around 250 uk pounds on 10th April! It will be the full Bugati circuit as used for the 24 hour endurance round and Motogp. There are very few chances to ride on this amazing circuit let alone an open pitlane with unlimited time! So, the question is ... who's up for it? _________________ Pomps

would that be a van-sharing trip, or are you considering riding there? |

Van sharing is a better option I think. I have the van so you can come down to me. Its a 1 hour trip to portsmouth ferry then a 1 hour trip from St Malo to my gaff in France which is a couple of hours from Le Mans. Job done, and we can spend a day or 2 road riding after the trackday before returning back to blighty. If more then two we can tow a trailer as well for a couple more bikes. _________________ Pomps

Sorry to spoil it for you, but the link shows that it's a car track day!
Yellow = bike
Red = Car
Maybe you would like to travel to Greece and join our July track day?
It is far but the circuit is really good and it's cheap (beacuse it will be too hot!!) It was 40 deg C last year...
Last year we paid 120 Euro each for two days of unlimited riding time, including pit box, timing, and DVD full of photos by professional photographer.
Have it in mind, it's worth it.
The track is Serres Circuit
www.serrescircuit.gr
We will be there 24 and 25 July. 24th is also a possibility to make it a 3 day track day.
Let me know as the number of participants is very limited, only 40, and we all know each other, noone makes money out of this, it's just for our fun without any organiser between us and the track.

If you are up for that one I think it will sell very quickly. I am going to book up for myself for sure. If I cant make it nearer the time I know I can sell it to a mate if I have to... _________________ Pomps

Duncan
is this track day still viable?
If so, what group are you booking into ( and when are you booking) and what are the best dates for you to travel to/from Le Mans? What happens if you can't attend and your mate goes instead?
John - you still up for this? - anyone else?
excessive use of ????
