I was there last year, there are tables and chairs, but they still needed some people to bring their own. The guys coming from abroad should get a space for sure so if possible a few should bring tables.

[The Chef]

Thank you. I'll put a table in just in case. I've also ben told it is cold at Ardent is this the case? I do agree that the guys flying over should get tables for sure, I would like to think that if the boot were on the other foot we would get a table over in another country if we were to travel.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of the Portuguese guys, I would defo recommend bringing warm clothes as Ardent is a large building, the pits are heated but if the outdoor temperature is low then it does get quite chilly.

Current forecast for the weekend is http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/...de=derby&day=5

Try, http://race.petitrc.com/

Driver list looks different to last time I saw it

Bottom of Partners page lists JE Spares and SMS select model shop, worth a call

[The Chef]

Although I understand the track will change from Friday practice to Saturdays race will there be timing gear in operation on the Friday? Is there a club meet on the Friday also? Is it 1/10 off road?

If some one could let me know that would be ace.

[bbkRob]

I'm waiting for the final entry list from Nicolas and I'll publish the PRACTICE groups for 2wd and SC 4wd.

I'm planning to get to Ardent early afternoon on Friday and I'll be setting up open practice timing.

I'm hoping to have WiFi live timing during Saturday and Sunday plus live Internet timing so its worth bringing your laptop. Download for PC is bbkRCNetScreen2011-1 and for iPhone its in the App Store - bbkRCLive. For other mobile phones set browser to http://mob.bbkrclive.com

All relevant info will be on the Live Race tab on the PetitRC Race page on the PetitRC web site. The tab is not live yet. I'll post here when it is.

Going to be a cold weekend with hot racing!

[The Chef]

Do you have an apple address for the mac book? At the MKgp it was a load of numbers lik an IP address, if you catch my meaning.

[James]

6 minute races.. Not a bad idea when using FTD qualifying i think

[maalcari]

I am also looking forward to meet you all at Petit RC.

Here in Portugal the weather is also a bit cold the days..lets see

Regarding tables and chairs, we cannot take them with us (i´m here struggling to put all my stuff packed for transportation.hehhe). It would be nice to have a portuguese corner in Ardent. I can promise music and liquor and good partnership

[mekios]

I would prefer a table for Debted countries so we Greeks can join you!
