Then as soon as Nicolas announces a change of venue all of a sudden, you have your venue confirmed?? Is it me or what??
If the venue is now confirmed then you can share the location?
I can totally understand Nicolas's decison for changing the venue, as nothing had been confirmed he had to think of others, as everyone especially the overseas visitors need to make plans because as we all know things get more expensive nearer the date and booked up..
I booked my Towcester Travelodge ages ago and got it for £13.50 a night..
Im just glad something is now set in stone... i would love to attend your new venue but have already booked and paid for petit and as Ardent is just over an hour away for me its a no brainer for me...
I dont think starting an anti-petit race thread is going to help anyone!
Its Toy Car Racing!

Let's hang on a minute.....
Firstly, we (SRCMCC) are not starting any anti Petit race thread. Also the only people who knew what was officially happening to Moto Arena were (Silverstone circuit) who own the facility. And they were the people i myself was dealing with direct, they was 95% sure there would be no issue.
Then 2 weeks ago they emailed to say it was finished (the same day it was announced on TV the Silverstone/tresham college are going to build a motorsports college) on the site which MA sits on. Perhaps that is why they didn't tell us straight away ??? RC event worth £800 or something worth millions!!!
Silverstone club took on the event that was given to MA and have worked very hard to secure a good enough venue. And it was confirmed today... again another multi million pound company who owns it, but they have agreed to support us. So we now have a venue, and rather than letting money go up in smoke, we are looking to do something for the people who have booked hotels/don't want to travel to Ardent etc.. What people decide to do is up to them.
After all it's toy car racing
