Petit 2012 14/15 Jan
 

Anybody know any more details on this event, id love to attend but not sure if its happening as it was supposed to be at Moto arena?

Apparantley if it can't be held at Moto-Arena it will be held somewhere local to that site...?

The Worksop Players is on the week after, going to be a busy fortnight!

Be nice to know where before committing. Petit will be good tho, I'm sure

I'm booked and paid :thumbsup:

Be a good craic where ever it will be :thumbsup:

Long as I dont have to travel into Walesestershire!

How are you booked in and paid, i didnt even think entries were open yet, or at least theres nothing on the website?

It would also be the best race yet if it was in Wales. lol

Invertational only until end of September, then open for general bookings from October 1st :thumbsup:

my thoughts exactly :)

Ah right, cheers. I guess im just not importnat enough :(. LOL

Any idea where "plan B" will be in regards to track location?

I'm in along with some other TORCH people. We've done it before hence the early booking. Dudders is just special ;)

Dudders you are going to have to get a 4wd??

Yes LMAO :woot:

i think we need to have details of a confirmed venue for this race sooner rather than later. so far its at a place that simply doesn't exist anymore!

unconfirmed venue
expensive entry fee
have to buy tyres i dont want & would never normally use :thumbdown:

pretty close to binning this off now :eh?:

I wont be going :(

Can't believe we got to run DBoots :thumbdown:

It's one tire I didn't want to go out buying tbh

Well, i had an invation from Nicolas this morning of which i am very gratefull. But i agree with the comments above.

What puts me off is the unconfirmed venue and the control tyre. I tried Dboots last year indoors and they were simply rubbish, cant see me paying silly money for an entry to an unconfirmed venue to race with rubbish tyres.

Think there will be a few more hoping for an entry at the Players instead this year. (or technically next year)

FYI
 

For everyone's information,

As some will know the invitations have gone out this week for the Petit race.
As it stands the meeting will be held at Moto Arena, if this is not possible by the time of the meeting or at least a month before then it will move to our other venue which is 10 mins away. We have kept everything in place so people booking hotels etc will have no need to change. The meeting will be held around Silverstone/Northampton area so i advise you book hotels around these areas.

With regard to the Dboots tyres this is nothing to do with us, but i believe they are supporting the event.

The other venue is just off J15 on the M1.

Sadly there is nothing more we can do at this moment, but we will deliver an awesome Petit Race.

The tyres for the event are here:

By having a control tyre at least the racing is equal for everyone :thumbsup:

Ive used dBoots indoors many times, and found them to be really good.

+1 They start off really grippy but then keep on giving grip till you are nearly through the carcass. I prefered them over minipins last year on carpet.

Premier Inn will be happy as they are getting fed up cleaing up pavement pizzas from your room :p:p:p

Gutted though mate, still hope to see you soon down here. :thumbsup:

The question is are you going to race and if you get in what 4wd are you doing. Truck is fun as well, and remember one shirt only :p:p:p

what inserts do i need to get for my 2wd (b4.1):confused:

Where/who?

think the clue is here I know matt was looking at units near j15

Cool but I have not idea who he or what he :thumbsup: :confused:

You don't need to worry about it unless it is moved there... No point confusing people by adding another venue name at the moment.

Das cool. I'm in where ever and will be great fun :thumbsup: Just thought others on the fence might like to know. Thanks for the effort :woot:

It's Me!

I've also used the Dboots indoors last winter. I have to be honest and say that the Schumacher yellows are more consistent on 100% (new/high grip) carpet tracks for me, however, the Dboots were just as good on multi surface tracks which I think this event will be. In fact (as mentioned earlier) the Dboot pins get better and better in my opinion so the costs are lower for us normal folk!

Matt/Jon,

Any idea when normal bods will be able to try and get a place at this?

Obviously would be right up for it....

Hello Buddy,

Think those of us who have been invited get a month to reply then after that it's open.

I did it for the 1st time last year and loved it, will drop you a mail if I see it's open entry.

Hope to catch up soon,
James.

just done the same mate:)

Sorry, at which lodge?

towcester travelodge is the nearest to silverstone andy:)

I went upmarket and booked the premier inn instead on monday for £50 a night, but like you cost of getting this place is cheap so have booked this so so I can save £70 on beer and women. Nice!!!

Looking forward to it, unsure as to why Nicolas chose these tires but is possible that they are sponsering the event and makes sense to do that even though they arent the best, but do hope that the track is the same as per all the last Petit events, 85% carpet. Please confirm that this is the case as a lot of us may not pay or go if its not. :thumbsup:

hi can anyone enter this event ??

yeah, at the beginning of october;)

Room prices are shooting up!
Are the venues warm inside, that's all I'm worried about really. Showtime, c'mon son, won't be the same without you and the uk team manager there!!
I'm working on Belsten ;-))
