It was ten days between the email about the new venue and me cancelling...

Should have done it ages ago? How???? I didn't know the venue was going to change FFS!

So if the fee,s are not being refunded who's pocket are they ending up in ??????

Your right other clubs should be able to put on other meetings. But this meeting was born to go directly against Petit almost like Silverstone were gonna show Nicolas for moving to Ardent. Seems very unfriendly to me.

Also you say no one is to know what was said, Paul has quoted that Petit moved the meeting 2 hours before the new venue was announced! Also Nicolas said he was told the venue was gonna be 6k. There has been a lot said.

I have watched this thread all the way through from "Whos going" and "cant wait for this one" and now it has ended up with a lot of people slagging Nicolas off when I cant really see what he has done wrong! And yes don't throw the he changed the refund date and this is so wrong, I even read one guy said he was going to confront Nicolas on the day! Yes I agree this is wrong for him to move the refund date, but he may have a good reason for this. Don't you think we should give him a chance to reply? After all he is the one that tried to put a meeting on and had MA drop him in it and Silverstone now going head to head with him.

Silverstone organised the weekend designed FOR the Petit Dave, not to go against it. they couldnt go against it, there was no other planned event to go against. you dont seem to get it!

Like Paul said drivers can have the choice like we always do

I even read one guy said he was going to confront Nicolas on the day!

I believe its me that you are mis-quoting.... I feel I am quite within my rights to discuss this late change with the organiser..

Why should they hold onto my money when I played by the rules?

thats why i didn't enter, you can't trust the french, even if they pretend to be belgian

So if you are going to discuss this with Nicolas on the day you might as well race as your already there!!! Therefore no refund needed, problem solved:p

What one are you doing Dave, i'm missing you:thumbsup:

Hi Lew my biggest fan, I am going to do the event that you do, as long as it's not area 51:D:p

He's observing from the outside lew.....bit like springer :p

Don't worry mate, I'm here, watching, waiting ;)

Love it .....:p

I don't believe it Alec's woken up.....:woot:

So what meeting are you booking in to? That's if you can get the time off work?

You just got home mate? :woot:

I think to show the support for Nicolas and the amount of hard work he puts into the " show " we should start a list either on this thread or start a completely new one entitled..

Where can we buy the control tyre from?

For information, travelodge have a 'sale' on, I booked 2 nights at Derby (Pride Park) for £12 a night earlier :)

Does this mean those of us that paid full price will be getting the difference refunded?! Seems a bit unfair on those that got everything sorted out early :(

Agreed

Any Idea when the driver list will be updated? I would be nice to find out who is still going:thumbsup:

Cheers for the heads up Dan :thumbsup:

Rooms all booked. What a bargain.

Does anyone know if the track will be open for practice on Thursday and Firday as it was last year?

Tyres
 

I've just entered the Petit race, should be a great meeting.

Normally indoor on carpet I'd be running the yellow Mini Pin but I notice the controlled tyre brand is Dboots. I don't have any experience with those so could anyone offer any advice as which is the best tyre and compound to run for 2 and 4wd?

Thanks.

As confirmed the control tyre are the dBoots Nanobyte tyre.

Ok cool, thanks. I thought I'd seen on the Petit site something about an open choice of the range, but I am mistaken.

I assume there's also a controlled compound then?

Thanks very much.

Copied from the Petit website:

Tyres : ONLY Dboots tyres (front & rear) - Nanobyte tyres recommended


So yes it would appear you can use any dBoots tyre.

dBoots tyres can be bought from www.rcdisco.com or you local model shop.

I dont think the Nanobyte tyre's are on sale yet, but would imagine something will be announced asap and they should be available on the day.

.......

Hi All,

Really looking forward to this event. I'd just like some information about the tyres.

Is the Dboots control tyre only for the drive axle, so a free choice on 2wd front?

And the recommended tyre is the Nanobyte, when is that going to be in the shops, still no information on RC disco's website. It'd be nice to do some practice with this new tyre before the event.

Also is there a list of driver confirmed, I've noticed some drivers that are listed on the Petit site are also listed as attending Area 51?

Thanks.

Just entered this one. How/where do I pay?

Check on the Petit website under the RULES tab, it gives you all the info On how to pay and how much.

Thanks buddy.

Anyone got any news on the tyres yet? When are they going to be here?

got mine 3 weeks ago off rc disco

http://www.dboots.com/news/ seems you only need them on the driven wheels

Carl, from petite website

Tyres : ONLY Dboots tyres (front & rear) - Nanobyte tyres recommended

I'm sorry to bang on about tyres but what dboots compound is everyone planning to get, I assume B?

I'm really suprised there isn't more discussion about this upcoming event

Whatever tyres you decide to use it cannot be nanobytes as I can't find them for sale anywhere

PM estebandonde and ask where he got some as his son Charlie used some at Silverstone club last night.
