How many of you have lost money with the date change of refunds from petit ??? It wasnt common knowledge was it ??? I have emailed 6times since Friday an a response at 6.55 pm tonight saying I missed the cancelations date !!!!!!!!!

Yes i have emailed them once no reply,then again today as just to confirm and got that email

[panch]

Emailed Nicholas but no reply as of yet

I'm sure he will be in touch and sort us all out, there were people queuing to get into his great event, so he won't lose out, it'll just be a bit of taking people out and adding in the new guys...

I'm sure he has a day job too so will probably be sorting this as we speak

I think it's clear what's happening. Hes worried his event is gonna FAIL miserably and can't afford to loose anymore money. This way with everyone paying by personel payment or gift people have given him the money, rather than paying for a service. This is surely stealing by moving the refund date from the end of December to the end of October, without informing all the people who hadn't had chance to think about going to the new venue.

Im sorry but this is bang out of order... regardless of what you think Nicolas has staged many events in his own time and done a brilliant job, this is plain to see given the amount of people who have attended in the past.

Due to circumstances out of his control, in my mind he did the best thing possible, as he has always had in his mind the arrangements that all european drivers who attend should be at the top of his list given all the arrangements for travel and accomodation that these people have to sort/book usually well in advance.

If it wasnt for people like him, big meetings wouldnt happen!

Then why for any other reason would you move the refund date or in this case stop all refunds immediately. If he is so confident that his entries will still be so full, why stop people that genuinely what there money back due to hotels, distance or other commitments ????

I don't know whats been happening with these events...I didnt bother with the Petit because of all the uncertainty over venue etc and I wasnt going to book accommodation etc to be let down.

The EOS race I did book in for only to find the date changed-then scrapped seemingly?
OK I got my entry refunded no problem-but again-what if I had booked my rooms to stay over etc?

Also while I'm at it-I'm also booked to race at the MK-GP. This was originally a control tyre event. Plenty of ppl questioned the suitability of the tyre at the time of booking in opening.
Everyone accepted the control tyre and a full meeting was booked only for the organisers now to realise that the tyres were pants for the intended use afterall and have scrapped the tyre rule.

I know the entry fee included a full set of these tyres and really that isn't the issue. Anyone wanting to be prepared will have prob like me bought a set or two beforehand to get glued up etc. So now I have £28 worth of useless tyres.

I know its very hard to organise events and fully respect the ppl and time involved. But surely venues and dates should be confirmed 100% before entry forms etc are issued.

Rant over lol

I agree im starting to think I should just stick to club racing and leave these big events to the pros !!! Or leave this sport/hobbie and go back to a real sport where there is honest people and no back stabbing and no bull...t
