Me and Simon are booked in Advanced. It'll be my first time at Almeria, and I can't wait.

Have you been before, and what's it like.

Look forward to meeting you.

John.

Yes, went with them to Almeria last year too.

We are taking the family for some sun. In summary:

1) Bloody hot if last year is anything to go by (30+ each day)

2) Fantastic scenery/location for the track, up in the hills

3) Awesome track, quite technical and quite fast - very physical and equally unforgiving, typical spanish circuit with lots of off-camber, blind crests. Quite a few DNF the week due to scenery excursions.

4) Almeria town (about 30 mins away from the track) is not that much to write home about. Mojacar slightly further along the cost is a much better spot to visit for drinks/dinner etc if you want to venture from the hotels.

5) Backstraight at the track is mind blowing !

6) Some onboard footage

Look forward to seeing you in Almeria!

Good Video, thanks for that.

The track looks great, I'm really looking forward to it, but a bit nervous as it'll be new to me.

125? Ask him if I can have a go of it. I'm really looking forward to it, it'll make a change from being cold or wet in the UK.

I'm taking the 600, I'm to old to wrestle that R1 round track, tell your young'un to come and say hello.
