If you’re on Facebook or Instagram, Kevin done a video update, they’re hoping to be able to start up again mid February, he did admit himself it’s not likely though, but that’s why your event probably hasn’t been cancelled yet.

Just watched it thanks.

I guess its a case of wait and see but if I was a betting man I'd be betting against it going ahead...

I just had both legs of my Easyjet flights cancelled.

I might have to call time on my Feb trip.

I wonder if Focused Events will let me transfer my deposit to an event in March or April...

Luckily, his 50bhp is no match for a 30+mph headwind on the back straight so I can reel him back in

What a great vid, that things got some awesome corner speed! Looks like a riot!

Are those Junior SS bikes on super sticky road tyres then? Not slicks are they?

All my lot have cancelled all Feb & Mar commits as they don't expect the travel corridors to get opened back up any time soon ....

Did the circuit cancel on the TDO or did the TDO pull the event?

Cheers, he loves riding it
It's on Super Corsa SC1 race tyres, so not a slick, but pretty decent none the less

I've resigned myself to the reality that no Euro trips are likely to happen until April at least
Plus, the Spanish PM said today that he wasn't expecting Spain to let Tourists in until everyone in Spain has the Vaccine, so that could be late summer, which casts even further doubt frown

Hopefully, the UK will pull it's finger out and the British tracks and racing can start in the Spring (Fingers crossed)

On the plus side, I've just got a Bucci BR12, so hopefully our local indoor karting track can open at some point so I can get some laps in

Sad state of affairs with cancellations happening already, although I can't say I'm surprised, me and a few others have Portimao booked for October which I really hope goes ahead,
Although we are also looking at booking Carta again maybe in May too.
The plan of 2020 was to get out as much as possible, alas, I managed Donington in September and that was it 😔.

I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible this year and get the bike prepped well in advance, fairings are due back from painters soon then a trip to Sublime Designs in March.

Fingers crossed this is a better year.

Looks like the restrictions might let everyone out on track from end of March.
Croft on 15th April should be good to go, best get bike ready. Anyone else there?
Not convince for Spa in June yet but I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

I've been slack as tits and haven't booked anything up yet.

Croft on the 15th sounds perfect though if there is still spaces left? Its only 20 minutes or so down the road from me.

I took a punt a while back and booked Oulton on the 31st of March, Donington on the 29th of April, Cadwell on the 10th of May, Donington on the 11th of May and 4 days in Almeria at the end of May.

Might be a bit optimistic that they will come off but its nice to have something booked!

I'm tempted to book Mugello with nolimits in September buts not cheap!
