oOple Euro 2009 Thread

[Lee]

Well it's that wonderful time of the year again, this thread is about as official as it can get for the rest of the world without it actually being official. This thread also turns out to be one of the most popular threads of the summer for those competing in the event and for those who are just interested in finding out what is happening.

So for starters i am flying out from stanstead on the Saturday lunchtime flight (easyjet) but i will be in the bar from approx 9am will i see anyone in there ?:)

[Chrislong]

Im not able to go, would have liked to. When is it? :blush:

[Jonesy]

I'll be there from the Saturday about 10am latest I would have thought. On the ferry with the family, Tom Yardy, Glyn Ward, Whyman and the Animal (I mean Gaz Stanton).

Ferry leaves on Thursday at 8pm and gets in Saturday 8am, get out of customs and find the hotel!

[bigred5765]

jonesy was the ferry dear? pm me if you want

[Jonesy]

I'd like to say I know Carl but not sure mate. Dad sorted out and I'm paying monthly for everything! :thumbsup:

Think from memory it turned out to be around £1,300 for mum, dad, me, the wife and baby, don't quote me on that though...

[matdodd]

Me & Tony will be in the Bar about 12 on Sunday:)
So get the beers in Jonesy ;)

You should be Lucky if i be abel to call you :D

[Belsten]

Im still after a room share if anyone fancies it ?

[Lee]

If anyone wants in on a bulk tyre purchase let me know, i will be doing some enquiring tomorrow, obviously the more we have to buy the better deal we should be able to get :)

[MiCk B.]

What tyres are people planning on bringing with them?

All yellows or a mixture?

MiCk B. :-)

[Lee]

Personally i was going to get mainly yellows and a couple of sets of greens, just in case it is damp/wet/sodden :lol:

[Belsten]

Lee I would be interested in buying some too
Does anyone know if the tyre rule applies to both axles or just the rear ala BRCA rules ? Ive got loads of front minispike 1's

[Belsten]

It does apply to the front of 4wd

[Lee]

Yeah i was going to say "driven wheels" I suppose it keeps things simple though.

22 sets of yellow rears 11 2wd mini spike yellow front spikes 11 stagger ribs
22 sets of green rears 11 2wd green fronts

11 4wd yellow fronts 11 4wd green fronts.

99 pairs should see you right :woot:

Bargain

Add more if you intend on making the A, personally im not planning on it this year, i need to keep the tyre bill to a minimum :woot:

[bigred5765]

you not going with a set a run then lol

[Lee]

If anyone wants to order their tyres as part of a bulk buy with myself and a few others could you let me know asap, im going to put out a few queries this afternoon to see what we can get them for.


On a seperate note, who is taking their WAGs?

[Belsten]

im travelling on my jack, catching the 7:30 flight from stansted on the sunday, getting a taxi from the airport to hotel if anyone fancies sharing thats on the same flight ?

[ben]

Gonna take enough yellows for a set a run.... you can always bring some back ;)

[Lee]

How many runs do we get i have forgotten, i guessed at 11 in each class not counting 3 leg A's and the warm up A

[ben]

Think lawson said it was like 3 practices, 5 qualifiers and a final?

[bigred5765]

im pretty sure thats what it was at the last one we went to,

[Mossy]

Normally atleast 5 practices on the first day, then 2 more on the second day plus 3 qualifiers. Last day normally one mini practice, 2 more rounds of qualifying and 1 final, unless u make the A then obviously a practice final and 3 legs.

14 if your not in the A, 17 if you are.

[IceMike]

sums slightly off there si, 13 if your not 15 if you are :P

[Mossy]

Dont think so? Include the mini practice aswell and they are correct.

[IceMike]

lol okies misses one but the afinal one is still wrong

[Lee]

No its not Si is right :eh?:

14 for the Normo's and 17 for the special ones :woot:

[IceMike]

No its not Si is right :eh?:

14 for the Normo's and 17 for the special ones :woot:

but that would mean that you do 3 extra races, difference between bein in an A final an not is normally only 2 races. so bein in the A do u get an extra practice at somepoint?

[Lee]

Yes they have a practice A

[IceMike]

ooooo right!!! no wonder when ppl do these things they come bac an get new cars, that must be a right punnishment to the cars.


Good luck to everyone in team UK!! Especially Team Orange!!

[Lee]

I think most would actually get a new car for the event ;)

[IceMike]

true my bad :P maybe one year ill come an be a pit bitch so i can see wot goes on. let it be somewhere nice an sunny with a beach and bikini babes :P

[Lee]

The euros dont go to miami :lol:

I think the dirt tracks kill the cars, especially the US ones where they put chemicals down over night to help the groove come up and it just eats the screws/ drive shafts/ alloy bits, a 1 meeting old car can look like its done a season if you dont clean it religiously :cry:

[IceMike]

thats meantal, really would love to come an see a big meeting such as that. ill do it im sure over the next couple years. an they shoudl have bikini babes, it just isnt right not to :p

[Lee]

Anyone planning on taking over a UK acetone bucket? ;)

[ben]

Anyone planning on taking over a UK acetone bucket? ;)

Ermmm i can supply it if needed ;)

[Lee]

Can you get it there though BJ?

[ben]

I cnt take it on the plane no! Maybe glynn could take it?

[Lee]

I cnt take it on the plane no!


No shit sherlock :lol:

Maybe DC or glyn could take it if you asked nicely and said they could use it ;)

[ben]

Yeah you can ask for me :D £5 per person for the week? sound fair?

BJ

[Lee]

Last call for anyone wanting tyres, getting final numbers off people this afternoon so we can get a firm price :)

On the website of the hotel they say that there is wifi acces.

[awa0]

There is internet access at the hotel (wifi), but it isn't free (you must pay for it).

We hope to provide you internet access at the track.

[Cooper]

We hope to provide you internet access at the track.

Yeah, if she sees Cooper she will become frigid

[Lee]

I was actually going to bring the kitchen sink to make her feel more at home :woot:

[awa0]

These english are crazy!! :lol:

We have contacted the nearest disco from the hotel. The first cocktail is free on Monday and Wendesday. ;) Two beautiful girls will go to the track to give us the flyers.

Spain is different!

[bbq]

Awsoome dude!
I hope the disco has mojitos and ice cold american lager.
Im on à strict diet of that right now :D

[Lee]

Spain should be cheap too :thumbsup:

At the moment its €15 a mojito and €8 a pint over here unless its happy hour :lol:

[bbq]

Ooooh thats nice :D

[awa0]

Spain should be cheap too :thumbsup:

At the moment its €15 a mojito and €8 a pint over here unless its happy hour :lol:

Those prices should be a theft in Spain. We are about 50% cheaper than your country.

I think that you should go to anonymous alcoholics after euros, hehe.

[Lee]

I'm looking forward to the euros now, i fly back to the uk fri night and catch a flight to london 7am saturday morning and then to bilbao saturday lunch time.

I wont be hiring a car in spain so i will be having a liquid lunch :thumbsup:

[Cooper]

Spain should be cheap too :thumbsup:

At the moment its €15 a mojito and €8 a pint over here unless its happy hour :lol:


WTF !!!

even here in Belgium it's half that expensive...
€6 for a cocktail and €2 or 2.5 for beer, at festivals. Don't know at nightlife clubs druggy things.

[Lee]

i wish it was that cheap here, there is no such thing as a cheap night out here :cry:

[Eotz]

WTF !!!

even here in Belgium it's half that expensive...
€6 for a cocktail and €2 or 2.5 for beer, at festivals. Don't know at nightlife clubs druggy things.

Belgium is cheaper than Bilbao... sure. Here just a beer in a disco cost about 3 or 4€ minimun. :thumbdown: and a cocktail more than 6€. Anyway, only the nordic countries are more expensive than UK.

[Lee]

Anyway, only the nordic countries are more expensive than UK.


And Monaco :thumbsup:

[awa0]

only the nordic countries are more expensive than UK.

And bars with blue-red neons outside...

[awa0]

No, I don't... sorry :cry:

[awa0]

The Club will sell only tyres and inserts at the track side (Schumacher).

Shops must take authorization for selling at the track side, paddock, boxes... Today, nobody has requested it yet. :confused:

There are special and cheap prices for that authorization... do you know someone interested?

[Highjumper]

Is there a INternet Side from the Disco? And is there a WLAn Accesspoint at the Track,which we can use to Surf?? The UMST is not so cheap, if there is any Internet, its better we give the Money the Club, than the Telekom .

Thanks Kim

[Lee]

Yeah if there is a shop can they take lots of wheels or i will be putting an order into DMS and getting them shipped out to the hotel :thumbsup:

[_sleigh_]

Reading the above, it does sound like any shop will be in attendance :bored: :confused:

You best get your order and gold card number over to Darren ASAP.

[Lee]

I think he knows it off the top of his head by now :woot:

If anyone wants anything though ill put an order in, you can pay me in cash in euros please ;)

[Darren Boyle]

Sounds like a plan Lee, whose credit card number is from memory 4929 1234 5678 9101 LOL

[daz]

Lee, are you taking Stam-mag as your pit bitch?:lol:

[_sleigh_]

I'm pretty sure this won't effect anyone from the UK, but just so everyone is aware. This notice is from the EFRA web-site.


"Important additional notice regarding the EC Tyres for the incoming off road electric EC in Bilbao, Spain:
With this notice we try to clarify as much as possible which is the choosen –and “legal”- tyre from Schumacher to be used in Bilbao

EC TYRES:

We have chosen Schumacher MiniSpike 2 as the nominated tyre for the driven axles in both Classes. Schumacher have contacted us with part #'s for the different compounds.

The 2 version is produced from a new mould tool and Schumacher have confirmed that only tyres using Yellow, Green and Blue compound will be made form this mould.
The original mould tool has produced tyres for many years with many different compounds being used. It is very possible that some drivers have some of these older compounds in their possession which might give an advantage on our track in Bilbao. (For example: Bibex compound that could give a competitive advantage on the Bilbao track).

Only the 2 version is allowed for:
- Controlled Practice, Qualifying and Finals.

It is easy to identify tyres from the two mould tools as the later mould tool shows the "2" on the side-wall of the tyre.

Javier Llobregat
EFRA Rep, AECAR"

[Lee]

Lee, are you taking Stam-mag as your pit bitch?:lol:

No his cage wont get through airport security :thumbsup:
only tyres using Yellow, Green and Blue compound will be made form this mould.



Does this include prototypes :confused:


** This is not picking at Phil in any way by the way, thanks for the info Phil **

[Belsten]

does controlled practice refer to the 2 rounds of timed practice ? Im hoping so as I have some used 1's that I wanted to run in the other practices

[Lee]

Yeah the timed ones are controlled. That is when you have to do your 2 or 3 quick consecutive laps to sort out your grid order for qualifying ;)

[tony6187]

is there going to be a website with a live timing feed?

[PositivoNegativo]

will there be any shop track side?
that sells
Foams
glue
and motorcleaner??

Hello bbq,
Our store (positivonegativo) will sell spare parts and other stuff on the race and the race organization will have Schumacher tires and inserts.

Great the Irish team is growing!!!! See you guys this weekend:thumbsup:

Oh and well done for getting your stuff there Mick:woot:

[Teddy truman]

random but.... the euros on astro.... thats the worst idea i have ever heard!!! so disapointed its been allowed..:thumbdown::thumbdown:

[russmini]

Looks a lovely track, just hope you don't have eye sight problems... Man that left side is far away... :lol:
Oh and i'm not being horrible/criticising in anyway.

:thumbsup:

[ben]

Morning everyone. Practice is underway. The track is very hard to drive at the moment. The astro is super slippy on Schumachers. The hill is pretty much a hill climb contest LOL.:( will report back later

[Northy]

Is it moist BJ? :confused:

G

[Chequered Flag Racing]

The hill is pretty much a hill climb contest LOL.:( will

any videos??

[MatJohnson]

That timing feed int doing too well either.

[Fabs]

indeed the overalls don't seem to be showing people with PTs and people with PTs don't seem to have their name attached to it...

[Fabs]

Or anything else than heat practice 5 results lol

[ben]

Yeah the track is still wet G and isn't drying that quickly.

[ben]

Track is starting to dry up now. Most people are moving to yellows now.

[DCM]

is the results up online, live feed and what not?

[stegger]

http://www.myrcm.ch/myrcm/main?dId%5bE%5d=2256&hId%5b1%5d=com&pLa=es

[MatJohnson]

Its a bit hit and miss at the mo the timing, hopefully they will get it sorted.

[avarrc]

Monday & Thursday is free practice, yuo dont have to use your race car, nor your race batteries nor your transponder. It is free and it is not timed, the timing done has been only to check out lapcounting system and it worked well.
Main trak difficulties are the 4-some (either 3+1 or 2+2) and the uphil down-hill with much more difficulty down-hill. anyhow there is not much areas on the track to relax. most of breaking parts are produced at the two spots pointed out.

By the way, in regards to Pre-race road trip: At France you dont have to TIP, never, service is included on the bill at a 27 % rate so you have already tipped everytime you pay. (please do take notice that this is only at France, at Spain tips are welcome and recommended if your intention is to repeat the place...)

All was going well till a while ago we stopped getting updates.

Beeeen how did practice go and who was fast (apart from lee martin of course) ?

[mw02veg]

qualifying should be nearly done for the day!

[jondell]

This has to be perfect for a caption competition......

I'll start with.....

EFRA man - Hupo, did you do that?
Hupo - Me.. No
Lee - (thinks) Jezzz, that's rotten.
Neil - (thinks) Might just get away with that one

[Stu]

I think he was just telling Hupo he had to do 1000 lines,

'I will not be late again'
'I will not be late again'
and so on.

Any ideas when were going to get a report as to whats going on in 4wd?

It's only practice day today James, but I imagine Jimmy will uplaod the report when he gets back to the hotel and has edited it.

I think he's telling Hupo " What are the sizes allowed for rear wings under EFRA rules " and " Don't forget too tell ellis " :woot::cry: sorry ellis:(

Dan, any reason why your not there? I didnt see your name anywhere.

[David Church]

I am here, in the hotel using Eriks, from sweeden, little computer. Today went well, the big talk is the jumps, can you do the quads??? I think the lap times will be close, but i am sure oOple will report on all the good stuff going on!!!

[GRIFF55]

YOU can do the quads DC!!!! goooo onnnnnn:thumbsup:

[showtime]

i'd do them every lap :p

i'd crash at every other corner more often than not but i'd nail the quads :thumbsup:

To be honest, time, money, annual leave days. I also didn't fancy the track from the pics I first saw but regret that now as I think it looks ace now.

Belgium OR euros and Belgium is SOOOOOOO good ;)

[showtime]

Belgium is a blinding week away :thumbsup:

[awa0]

Please, can you drive slower by the finish line? I only hear a "beep" in my earphones and see car number, but not your body paint jobs... :p

My brain wants to explode. Now I want to sleep, but "beeps" repeats in my mind. I drunk some whisky, but it doesn't solve my problem.

Anyway, thank you for been here. I am learning much english from you.

Is there any single ladies at the track? Russian ones perhaps? Please take it to race control... I have to check their "frequencies" and "transponder number".
