Called 'Trap' Raceway

There's a south african girl at work, was gonna ask her if she thought it was a good idea to go but she's off sick at the mo'. hmmmm. I fancy going to the Worlds again but the good thing about Japan was how safe it was and how you could go out and have fun at night - SA doesn't look like it's quite the same. :cry:

There's a maccies not too far away (to the left, lol)
Yeah there's been sod all information around - looking on the official SA racing site they talk about meeting up in Nuremberg with IFMAR reps, which happens to be on at the moment I think??
Sadly you aren't allowed to join their forum unless you are south african - how mean.

i wouldnt mind going

Large meals at Maccies are ~£2.40 - bargain, that's almost sold it to me right there. If I could get enough sponsorship to go, I'd be up for it maybe.

I was thinking about going as well, but if there are low numbers, of top drivers, I don't think it will be worth it.
The warm up race is not too far off so it wil be interesting to see how many people go to that.

Billy Easton was about the only non-Japanese driver at the last Worlds Warmup so I'd not expect that many.
Yeah I'm with you there Dave - even if it's the worlds, if there's not actually that many great drivers there then it might not be worth while. Worth keeping an eye on - if we go then I'd want to travel with a couple more people just to be on the safe side (preferably Wraggy!)

If there are low numbers of top drivers though.. MCDC could be the next WC!

I might have something to say about that - I'm an F2 you know now Vicky. That's like one step down from being National Champion.

There's one way to sort this out!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Just kidding:p:D

I just asked the girl at work who's from SA and apparently she's from Pretoria. She said her mum and her dad have both been car jacked seperately before and I think her brother or someone also. She said as long as you don't go out at night and keep your eyes open you'll be OK. :bored:

I really want to go but it doesn't sound like the safest place around it has to be said.

Don't go out at night!!!! AARRGGHHHHHHH:cry:
Couldn't imagine Japan without the nightlife!!!! LOL

haha, exactly. The social side of it is half (or more) of the fun.
As well as getting some funding together - I think I'd need to know I'd be in a safe hotel in a safe area.

i used to live in Pretoria, and my auntie & uncle live in Joburg

it's not the safest place in the world, i'll say that much :wtf:

There's now a website for the worlds setup - but it has absolutely no information what so ever.... :thumbsup:

Please forward all sponsorship offers to me - so we can do a nice report on this race :rolleyes:

I'll post you over a rich tea biscuit if it'll help Jimmy.

YUM! - can you send one for my kidnappers also? :cry::lol:;)

yeah, OK....I'll sponsor you 1p a lap of the worlds track! :thumbsup:

As a Brit who has a lot of SA family and have spent a lot of time out there I can tell you it's a fantastic country. Yes, you do need to be aware of crime in certain areas, but it's not a friggin war zone! It's beautiful and the people are great, the food is great, the beer is great. I'm sure the locals would look after you all, they're good like that. Footie World Cup out there next year too.

Although you wouldn't wisely wonder down town in the big cities late at night after a skinfull, TBH there are certain areas in this country which are pretty dodgy too nowadays.

Those that go will love it.

I want to go but don't know if I will.....But if Jimmy does a Worlds report before the 2008 EPR National there will be trouble!!!!;):lol::p:thumbsup::thumbdown::p

Eh J man??????????????????? Hahahahahahahahah

Aw come on man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give us our report please:eh?:
