Any Ph`ers here live in Espana??

Just wondering as there is no forum for spain, in the international section.

Am due to move down there shortly, and just wanted to see if and where like minded people were, and also to ask about the trackday scene.

Thanks

Scotty

Hi Andy,

Where are you located?

We have bought a house near Almeria, and are looking to move down there in the next few weeks.

Fed up of this bloody rain!!

Been having a trawl around on the web, and there dosent seem to be much track action available in Spain, apart from the one at Guadix, and not too keen on there, been there before on my bike! bit too mickey mouse for my liking!!

Are you aware of anything else, would like a blat round jerez, valencia or ultimately catalunya!

You've not checked my profile then!?

Guadix certainly isn't Mickey Mouse in my opinion!

Who recorded that video of the lap in the Radical? Not you I hope! Those gear changes made me cringe. frown

Andy,

No havent looked, oops maybe should have!

Sorry, just thought it was a bit stop start, not really any flow to it, just get going and then hard on the anchors for the next steady bit!

Am sure that others think differently, I just tend to prefer slightly more flowing circuits!

How are you finding running days over there, does seem to be very quiet on the car front.

Stop/start? I'm wondering if you drove a different Guadix than we use! It's even more popular with bikes than cars to be honest and plenty of teams use it for testing so it can't be that bad!

Plenty of cars/owners down here and the Spanish trackdays are always full, we're staying away from that market though as they do tend to result in a destruction derby free for all with no rules and big egos. Lots of car clubs and there's a small part of those that are always doing trackdays too so just a matter of tapping into them, which we're slowly achieving

Plenty of circuits to choose from but need a decent base of customers before we can start looking at travelling the expanse of Spain

The video was done the day the owner of the Radical got it delivered, it was done more to give an overview of the circuit than "look at me in a Radical"

Hello mate, yup still got it - bloody nail!

Did Mike get in touch with you lately, he had someone interested in it and we couldn't find the original spec/advert for it so if you have it somewhere would be great if you could email me?
