I think you are more likely to find Indians living near the English- Welsh border, but i have to admit it is a long time since i was there.

Endeavour 681 Posted August 16, 2022 4 hours ago, Fullmax said: Just wondering what all the kids starting out in the sport think about all the negativity regarding the Cardiff GP. I can't believe there isn't one young British rider who hasn't dreamt about riding in Cardiff in a GP (and perhaps the Polish Extraliga as well) The Stadium has a "wow" factor about it which Belle Vue (and no other Stadium in the UK) despite being one of the best racetracks in the world sadly doesn't. By all means have a 2nd British GP elsewhere but leave Cardiff alone. Would agree to a certain extent but the track curator has a duty of care to the riders to provide a track that is safe. They in turn can race. Cardiff is a vibrant city and I enjoy my trips there. Some hotels have trebled their prices from the 2020 ones. Never been to a Grand Prix abroad but I think it is something many folk would consider for next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure that's correct Warsaw GP weekend holiday Inn 4* with breakfast 3 nites £145 premier Inn Cardiff room only £335 3 nites, far cheaper to go to Poland, but better craic in Cardiff . Unfortunately due to holiday commitment next September Cardiff a no go. So looks like another trip abroad for a GP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
