[Yardeeee]

for sure, am in need of a car share to the track from the hotel and back each day, anyone please ??????

The hotel is within walking distance of the track apparently- PW is attempting to find out whether the organisers have a secured/guarded pit area so that we can leave gear at the track and just walk back to the hotel each night... of course that is personal choice though :)

PS I'm going too... :thumbsup:

[GRIFF55]

you'd have had to leave straight from epr in the love bus!! Mind you, it was bombing along in the hard shoulder on the m25 last sunday:lol:

[Belsten]

I passed you :woot:, ultrafly

[ben]

Is there any more pictures of the track anywhere?

[Lee]

yeah

[rcracer1]

I
lived in Bilbao from 1999 to 2001 and I can say that these people know what a jolly good time is! Looks like the track is quite near the "casco viejo" (the old city). They stay out at night until 8 - 9 am. Seriously!

I would suggest to anyone who can afford the time/cost to go down early or stay a bit after and check out the beaches and the fiestas during the days you're there. They have this thing where each town's patron saint day is cause for their own grand party of the year. Ask the organizers which towns as celebrating their fiestas during the Euros. It will be well worth it. Especially for those interested in meeting friendly, attractive women ;)

Mundaka beach has world class surfing, el antxobe is a town stuck on the ocean where you swim in the port! There is a connecting bridge called el puente Colgante. Google it!

[Lee]

I dont know if this has been posted before, its a few short vids of the track from the warm up. :eh?:

http://rcspecial.com/news/?p=22070

[rc boy]

looks awesome from the video's just wondering if they will change the layout for the euro's

Hello rcracer1.

Nice to read that you know our nice city and Bizkaia province :lol:. The Euro 2009 is from 10th to 15th of august and the Bilboko Aste Naguzia (Bilbao´s main week) start on 16th to 24th. So if you can stay some days after the Euro you will enjoy it. But if you can´t, during the Euro you can go to the Portugalete celebrations (Is just in the conecting bridge) and also there are celebrations in Getxoko Portu Zaharra (Getxo´s old port). Very funny celebrations where you can taste "kalimotxo" (Look what it is in google :p). Is possible to reach both places with the subway.

Just a couple of corrections rcracer1. The council of "Elantxobe" (All together) cancelled the celebrations in the sea port a couple of years ago to aboid problems, many drunken tourist needed to be recued from the water. But you biggest mistake is that the basque women are attractive, yes, but not really friendly at all :cry::cry::cry:.

rc boy, the layout is going to be the same that in the warm up.

Cheers.

[rc boy]

thanks for the info track looks awesome well done :thumbsup:

[rcracer1]

Anyone who can stay even for just one day at the main week for the Bilbao festivals will experience a once in a lifetime experience. Partying from 6PM to 10am no joke! Some of the best times of my life were spent there!

[niggs98]

sounds like a plan as im there till the 17th :D

[Belsten]

that astro looks super grippy in the videos, cant see any grass at all, just a dirt section, or is it me :woot:

[MiCk B.]

I'm there 8 - 18. Sounds like it should be good.

MiCk B. :-)

[Eotz]

that astro looks super grippy in the videos, cant see any grass at all, just a dirt section, or is it me :woot:

Astro 80%, dirt 20%. That is all :lol:. But you can find a lot of grass arround the track :p.

And yes, is really grippy track.

[Lee]

Anyone flying out on the 8th from stanstead on the sleazy jet flight?

[ben]

Yeah me, helliwell,bradders and pidge that i know of.

[Wraggy]

Yeah me, helliwell,bradders and pidge that i know of.
me and Pidge are going out on the 7th now as the price of flights were silly :cry:, we only booked this weekend so that might be why:lol:

[millzy]

im shocked pidge even booked a flight lol

[Wraggy]

im shocked pidge even booked a flight lol
ha ha well i had to be there and stand next to him almost for him to it . hence why they only got booked now instead of 3 months ago :woot:

[Lee]

Yeah its looking about 200 quid each if you fly on the saturday. Im still going to do it though because i dont get back to the UK till friday afternoon.
Is bradders going? i heard he couldn't get the time off work

[Lee]

Flights booked, sleazy jet £206 each :eh?:

[Wraggy]

Flights booked, sleazy jet £206 each :eh?:
thats pocket change for you Lee:woot:

[Lee]

I'll have to do an extra hour tomorrow :lol:

[Belsten]

I best crack on and book mine, not going till the sunday though

[ben]

£236 for mine and helliwells :bored:

[Lee]

where are you flying from bj?

I still have to book my newcastle to stanstead flight so thats another £80 :lol:

[ben]

Stanstead..

may aswell be going via africa for the price! :cry:

[Lee]

Doubt it, my last flight to joburg was 5k each way, are you on the saturday lunchtime flight that gets in at half 3

[ben]

Doubt it, my last flight to joburg was 5k each way

ok calm down, didnt need to know you spent £10000 on flights :)

[Lee]

I didn't but the company did :lol:

[Lee]

Is anyone driving over that i can get a box of tyres sent to? I would get them sent to mine but i don't get home till the friday evening and fly out early saturday morning so i couldn't even get them from the post orifice.

The other thing i had thought of was if a few of us wanted to buy in bulk we could get tyres sent to the hotel, if anyone wants in on this idea let me know and ill see what i can do :)

[Jonesy]

Alright Lee, depending on the amount of tyres (size of box) then we should be able to fit them into our car for you mate. We're taking the family so all 5 seats are covered but should be able to fit in

Let me know if needed

[Belsten]

just booked mine, snippet under £200 return from stanstead :cry:

[Eotz]

Just a recomendation for the people who wants to go out in the night for the diferent celebrations that I told you. I don´t want to enter in political problems, but please, avoid to wear any shirt of the spanish football selection, real madrid, with the spanish bull or things like that. You are not visiting Benidorm and the local people who goes out in those partys is mainly basque nacionalist and they don´t use to like those simbols.

Normaly nothing use to happend, there are no fights and problems at all, just fun. But this summer is different, so just in case.

Nota para todos los españoles que lean este cometario. Esto solo es una recomendacion para los extrangeros que tienen intencion de ir a las zonas de txoznas de las diferentes fiestas con la intencion de evitar problemas. Siento que moleste a algunas personas leerlo, a mi me duele que se tenga que avisar de cosas asi, pero por desgracias esas fiestas son frecuentadas por muchisima gentuza a la que le van a sentar mal muchos simbolos. Igual que no es recomendable pasear por ciertas zonas de Madrid con otros simbolos.
Este comentario no tiene nada que ver con la celebracion del campeonato de Europa, ya que se esta avisando sobre unas fiestas que no o bien no coinciden en hubicacion y horario o no coinciden en fecha. Asi que hacer el favor de no mezclar churras con merinas.

Un saludo.

[Lee]

Yeah they don't like the brits either, people have to remember its not spain it's basque country. ;)

[jimmy]

I'm sure they will love us

[Eotz]

Yeah they don't like the brits either, people have to remember its not spain it's basque country. ;)

For the first part of you message, not at all, brithis pleople is really very welcome in Bilbao. In fact all the city has a big english touch. England has historically been one of the best business partners of Bilbao.

The local football team, the Athletic Club Bilbao was founded by English engineers in 1898 and some of the most loved coachs of the team are from england, like Mr. Petland in the early XX century or Howard Kendall for example and San Mames stadium is thypical English style. The people from New Casttle is specially welcomed since the late 90´s :D. And people like english way to play football.

For the second part many, many people thinks that but I just wanted to awarm to all the people who wants to go out, nothing else. English, Scottish or Irish football shirts are loved here.

[ex-sco77morgan]

I've got a Real Madrid shirt you can borrow Belsten !!

Think you should make a bit of a statement over there buddy :D
