Looks good mate. Not sure on the dirt surface, but one which doesn't break up like the moon's surface into big ruts is generally good. Clay is very good normally at doing this, although it is very sensitive to water level and weather. Hard to tell from your pics what the surface is actually like.

Regards
Mark

Let me know what your doing - I may come with you! Road trip, ferry from Poole to San Anders etc.... :thumbsup:

The track looks ace, excellent work there, its a credit to you. Hope you'll apply for a Euro's ASAP then we can all attend (how is it for facilities?), until then - well, I want to come and race on it (^^^^), so how about a Spanish GP? something over a weekend and something for us Brits to come over for :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Next April 5th and 6th a regional will take place, if someone is interested. I'll update you with the next mayor events in Spain if you want.

Alberto, if you can let us know if there is a national on there then im sure a few of us will come across as long as it doesnt clash with a nat here.

It looks a similar surface to what we will be running on at the euros so any extra running on dirt is good for me.:thumbsup:

Even if you could put on a spanish GP maybe some of the boys from belgium and normay might make the trip:)

In Spain all tracks as more or less the same kind of surface, simillar to Collegno at Italy. I'll open a new post talking about Spain's championship and let you know the race schedule.

We'll be really pleased racing here with all of you. :thumbsup:

It was about 5 months working hard almost every day. Digging out the grass toke more than a month. Regarding the cost, I've no idea. The track isn't mine.

It looks right proper good there. I want to try my un-set-up B4 on that track. Just one question - does it snow there?

Maybe in December or January, but it's not very usuall. I'd like to see your special technique going under tabletops. :p
