Euros ! Euros ! Euros !
 

I can't wait for the Euros, less than a month away now. From paul worsleys email, it looks like just about everyone is in the same hotel again, fantastic. I did a rough count of about 39 UK racers going ? Should be about the biggest team again I think ?

I just hope glyn doesn't get lost with all mi gear. :jimmeh

I think you're safe with Glyn. I'm more worried as my stuffs goin with Tomo's dad, the vineyards might distract him :D

I feel there may be a little hire car racin goin on too ;)

When's everyone getting out there??

Yeah jimmy, its going to be ace. I am really looking forward to it now!

Me Vermin and Dan are going over in the TVR 206sw, ferry is late on Friday 11th from Dover to Calais. The roadtrip is going to be fun!

I had a look on google earth and all being well I managed to find the airport, the ibis messe hotel and the track. No idea how to post coordinates or any of that stuff, but these screen grabs give a rough idea of the locations of all three.

The distances dont look that big, but then, nothing does when you are flying round the world and spinning it / zooming in etc.

If anyone knows different lemme know, but these look right to me.

The IBIS hotel is just off the map on the left of the map near the top (the large roundabout looking thing)

fame! they have a lil flashing light on the RMC Wien official forum http://www.rmc-wien.at/forum/images/threadhot.gif that I made in 1995 !!

Sorry, it made me happy to see some old artwork. :D

did anyone else note that the track on jimmys google earth looked like a man shape

it looks like the club website is doing live commentary when racing gets under way. Anyone know how to get the site in English?!!

or another site that will give live results etc?

petitRC is normaly good for that.

;)

steve, looks like Petit RC isn't covering it at the moment, but they may update it once the qualifying starts.

Ian, nice one. The translation is a bit rough, but gives you the general idea!

well, petit RC don't have any reference at al lto the Euro's and the live update on RMC Wien hasn't kicked in yet. The first round must have finished now surely?

anyone found any other sites?

There are some results here:

http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/liveht...iveresults.htm

Hard work working through the pages tho..........

Main page http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/ (dont get caught with the warmup results)

First round just finished... Heat 4 Round 2 (the first heat of round 2) is just starting.

Peter Pinisch did the only 12 lapper I think, Hupo Honigl did an 11 in 5 minutes dead and Neil was 2 seconds behind I think!

Looks like Jimmy didn't start... he's part of the no score crew at the bottom. :(
