Just booked this with Focused Events today........I see they are doing some sort of Race Experience called "Race for Fun" ?? on the Sunday 8th Dec ? they are releasing details this week....... ???
Just made all final payments..... It does add up I guess with flights additional night in hotel.... And compulsory track insurance.... But worth it overall ! Can't wait......
my insurance was £50 for track cover and ambulance to and from track i think,allthe rest is covered by the insurance i took out with my flight,med bills and return to britain,£10 i think?.
you cant do a trackday in europe with a UK based TDO as you are not covered over there like you are here.they wont even take from the track if you dont have proof of insurance,(ambulance) 4 counties is the best/cheapest,and if you follow the link from the TDO website,you get an additional 10% off,plus,if you book it online you get another discount.
hey Rob,this race for fun,is the free practice,practice starts,and qualifying taken out of our trackday sessions,or do they do it at the end of the day,cos they are asking for £99 to enter,so surely they wont take our tracktime then ask for more money.does any body know how they do it with other t/d organiser?.
I'll be in Northern Spain when you are down there, £160 return for me mind (but it takes a day each way) - prey for good weather for us both
Don't really know any details on this.....have you had any email info ?? did mention it when I booked but was assured it would have no impact on actual track time normal sessions.......
weather wise,it very rarely rains at almeria,can get a bit windy but been 4 times and only had 1 0r 2 wetish sessions.
I would imagine normal sessions will be reduced to 15 mins (4 groups)..... but its on the Sunday so shouldn't spoil things..... but as I said I haven't seen or read anything yet, if last years (this time) event was anything to go by there was only about 8 bikes per session on the Sunday afternoon anyhow as most had left to catch earlier flights.....
Further to the £15 the website claims to have allowed for booking online ? cant see any link from FE s website ?
Aaaahh..... Focused Events, I got a lifetime ban for questioning why they were strapping my bike down across its tank, in their lorry The Big boss told me my paint was a shite DIY job so it didn't matter anyway, I think I called him a cnut. You'll notice you get asked to sign a damage wavier. On the upside Almeria is a cracking track
had email from focused events, day1 30mins free practice,day2 coaching and practice starts,day3 30mins qualification,day4 10 lap sprint"race for fun" entry will be £99 which also includes race insurance, they have also said what we are not looking for are riders who are not there for fun.i dont think anyone is going to pay all that money to be a miserable twat.
