    They seem to have put all race events on hold and cancelled the race weekend at Oulton, guess No-Limits is the place to be....

    Anyone in the Know??

    Wedge just sent me a post.... not good news, really hope this isn't the case and folk who have paid for a series don't lose their money. Fingers crossed it's just this round as tbh the NLR Oulton two day thing just wasn't worth the money....

    Also think Hottrax done too many rounds, it's stupid money to start with but 10 rounds with a non champ event is just crazy if you ask me.... and think they had two rounds in one month! think even jase would struggle to justify that money ;)

    NLR was banging at Donny so think people are starting to realise its a proper club with some quick lads out there.

    Me and wedge are paid up for the full season so if we dont get money back were goosed for the rest of the year. That, along with his collarbone and my gearbox going twice makes me hate this racing lark. Too much money too much dissappointment. Hope my scotland trip rekindles my love for bikes cos at the minute I feel like selling up the lot and doing something else. Hope WTR make it through this one. Got my best buddy out of racing. And this forum infact. Sad times..

    It's a shame. All the rounds I've been to have been packed out with a fantasic attendance. I was also planning on entering the last two endurance rounds of the year. Hope people get their money back, but if it's anything similar to the ET situation (which I don't think it is) those affected won't see a penny :-(

    Oh defo. What I meant was the Guy from who owned ET took the dough and did a runner. I'm pretty sure this isn't the case with HT

    It is a shame. No competition and prices will rise for racing and track days I'd say. And spaces will be more limited i spose

    Hottrax is officially over, they've released this statement this morning:

    It is with great regret and sadness that Hottrax Motorsport Racing Club Ltd announce that we must cease trading as of 29th May 2015. After taking advice from our financial advisors it has become apparent that we cannot meet our financial commitments. The Directors have no choice but to cancel all future events and place the company into liquidation.

    We are very sorry for the people who have put their trust in us this year and in the past, the meetings we have run have been special and we have made some lovely friends during the past 9 years.

    Our thanks go to the officials and marshals who have given up their time, mostly free of charge, to help us run meetings for everyone’s benefit and enjoyment.

    Any enquiries should be addressed to the proposed liquidators whose details are listed below.
