Euro Off-road Series announced

Wow finally got a refund for the event. Shame I am still down for hotels etc. Safe to say I will never enter into another event hosted by this group in any class after this mess.

How did you get your money back? I've fired in about 5 emails with no joy.

James , I kept emailing uwe and scotty(at least once a week)looking for a update, plus i sent a paypal request hitting the reminder regularly( again every few days) back to the orginal a/c i paid for the fees.
Email wise i made a point of highlighting the dates and the amounts paid and if it was paid via gift or general payment so there was no confusion as to who i was and what my a/c name was.Plus of course what event you want the refund for.
My feeling is that uwe and scotty are not the paypal a/c holders hence the delay is happening with refunds as they have to confirm between who ever is invovled. Still no excuse as with the event cancelled there should have been a complete refund to everyone who had paid. If they could have posted up that we had paid it should have be easy enough to have just refunded those paid up drivers

Good luck with it.

Petite séance d'essai de pneus organisée aujourd'hui à l'Arena par JP.
Le but, tester des pneus DBoots pour voir ce qu'ils valent à l'Arena.
Aujourd'hui nico a essayer des Multibyte en gomme B ( les plus souple) avec un insert mou ( un insert moyen aurais sans doute été pas mal non plus si
pas meilleur ).
Un petit temps d'adaptation est bien sur nécessaire mais le verdicte est super un peu moins de griplatéral et un peu plus de motricité ,encourageant.Nous avons comparé à nos mini spike yellow habituel et le verdict du chrono est.......très léger avantage au Dboots.( nico avais seb W. comme sparing partner)
Et l'usure me direz vous et bien très bonne, en tout cas comparable. une bonne demi heure de roulage avant de voir une baisse de perf.....de quoi faire taire les grincheux en tt cas.
Nous avons également essayer des multibyte en gomme A avec insert ferme .....ben ça ,par contre il faut oublier.
Très bientôt l'essai d'un autre profil Dboots, histoire de ne pas mourir idiot

yesterday tyre test managed by JP at the Arena.
Why ,to test Dboots tyre and see how they goes at the Black Country Arena.
Nico as test Multybyte in B compound ( the softer) with a soft insert.
( medium insert may be good if not better )
After a short time of practice,the answer is very good.
A little less side grip a little more forward grip.
We have compared with our usual Schumacher Mini Spike andthe verdict from Chrono show a sligt advantage to....Dboots.( Nico has Seb Wartelle as sparing partner).
And about wear......really good track time ,the same as the Mini spike . A big half hour of race style driving before to see performance go down.
We also have try Mulibyte A compound with hard insert.....to forget.
Soon ( sunday) test from another Dboots profil

Bon nous n'avions plus envie d'attendre pour voir ce que les nanobyte donnaient à l'Arena .
Après avoir entendu pas mal de négatif ( surtout niveau rapidité d'usure ) nous nous demandions vraiment quoi penser.
( l'usure d'un pneu est beaucoups plus importante sur la moquette que sur l'astro donc il étais important de savoir )
Et bien franchement pas déçu. L'accroche est meilleur partout aussi bien en latéral qu'en ......longitudinal .
L'usure est faible et curieusement même si les picots montrent des signes de faiblesse après ( plus de) trente minutes de roulage ,l'accroche est toujours aussi bonne.
Pas question de devoir mettre des nouveaux pneus après chaques runs . Un set de pneus par jour suffiras amplement ( idem EIR donc)
Avantage donc au Nano avec de meilleurs performances , une plus grande facilité sur les parties glissantes et en plus il ne demandent pas de petit rodage ( comme le Multibyte )

Pour info Bruno Herremans a eu l'occasion de rouler avec les multibyte ( que nico avais déja usé hier ) et il les à trouvé extra ....

Voila ,JP va transmettre un feedback à Uwe mais nous pouvons tous être rassurés.
Un petit mot encore ,pour dire que quel que sois le pneus retenus ,l'organisateur garanti sur place la fourniture en suffisance .
( je précise car c'est revenu dans la conversation en soirée )

After having receveid bad feedback from quick wear of the Nanobyte on carpet we were curious to see them on astro.( tyres wear way quicker on carpet)
Good surprise also here. Due to there small pin profil , side grip and formard grip are top ,sameon the slippery wood and block surface.
After ( more than) 30 minutes of practice grip is always top same if pins showed sign of wear. So no need to change tyre every run. Totally possible to drive one set a day ( if not more).( Same as for the EIR race )
So advantage to the Nano for higher performance , control on slippery section and no break-in needed ( compared tothe multibyte).

Elvo has just try nico's used multibyte and found them Ace ( a chance i didn't try the Nano lol )
Tomorrow JP send a feedback to Uwe.
Another important point isthat tyre are normally availlable at the track directly from organizer.
