I just would like to add some words about my decision and why the PETITRC RACE is moved to Ardent:

I’m the first very disappointed with that ! I lost ALSO my 4 nights hotel (no refund!).

I trust to Silverstone members and when Jon Spencer told me Moto-Arena is not sure, he told me all the time “don’t worry we have another venue” and I said OK at the end of September.
Jon told me he visited this new venue and explain me that is great, huge, etc. I said to him "OK we will do there!"
BUT the 1st mistake was they didn’t have the idea to ask the price of this venue and when I decided to go there, Jon told me £4000 for the venue 15 days ago. He told me he will negociate with the chairman and let me then without news during 10 days. I emailed and emailed… but no replies. And on last wednesday I catched him on FB and asked him one more time what's news, what's problems and he told me, the price is now £6000 !!!!!!! Well I trust to Silverstone with their “secured venue” since september and the result: NOTHING was secured! How I must pay £6000 now?????
From this moment, I told to Jon that I will look for another venue (Ardent or others venue) because I lost many time and a big event like the PETITRC take a lot of time to prepare. (I've a family, childrens, a job, 1 website and not often at home also). Jon told me they are looking for 1 another venue who seems huge but on Wednesday evening, nothing was also secured from his side and he wait for also some news and doesn't know when he will get these news (like other venue at £6000 that it takes 15 days).
He proposes me also to move dates to 7th and 8th of January for a venue that they found. But I refused and explained that some people have booked in planes and hotels and I wanted NOT that all of people lost all of that.

Then I told him you look for from your side and I look for my side.
Last Thursday Ardent replied me in first to accept to host the event like this year. And then I contacted Jon to inform of that.

I hope now that you can understand why I decided to move and find another “secured” venue myself. I trust to Jon and his club all the time but at 1 moment, you need to take a decision because nothing was. The event was/is in 2 months 1/2.

I lost also 4 hotel-nights non-refundable and like some of you, not very happy with that of course.

The PETITRC RACE at Ardent racing Raceway will be the last in England.

Thank you for all support some of you emailed,PM'ed ect.

Sorry for the inconveniences and thank you for your understanding.
I wishes you all the best to Everybody, I love your country and all people already met.

Have a good evening.
Best regards,
Nicolas Petit
