racers and royals

Thanks for info have used www.booking.com in past but these look a lot cheaper with a fair amount of choice

I have been checking out hotels in Prague and Copenhagen in readiness for gp trips, and the prices seem to have gone through the roof ! ! I know the pound is really struggling against the euro at present - can this be the only reason for these ridiculous prices ?

Nordic !

We have already been told by Ryanair to get stuffed as regards claiming any costs back-however they did re-fund £12 each for the cancelled flight,which only leaves us about £140 ea out of pocket !im glad i hadnt taken out ryanair insurance because you cannot claim anything unless the flight has been delayed for 4 hours before cancellation.they are a bunch of crooks but no doubt i will fly again to a gp with them.have a look at http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/ryan.htm and read about all the other poor s*ds

if you dont mind going fri-mon you could try www.click4sky.com which offers cheap czech airline flights.for a hotel try www.booking.com who have over 250 hotels in prague listed.

yes re-paid into my bank account yesterday-although i had emailed them asking where my refund was.

They must have known wednesday they had a problem-im sure Colin could have got there on thursday.

QUOTE (Rob B @ Oct 17 2008, 05:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't think it would have worked as it wasn't the top surface that was wet from rain it was whe whole base of the track that was wet from using wet shale to build it. Im not so sure-didnt olsen say they had considered using a machine but is was too heavy-merediths surely is much lighter in weight

Unless it was April 1st when sky showed it in use at swindon-it certainly worked there

a friend of mine was talking to Colin Meredith at Peterboro last night and Colin said that if he had been asked-early enough-he could have got his drying machine to gelsenkirchen and saved the meeting.As the BSI people were at Coventry for the world team cup round,i would have thought they would have seen it as i believe it is stored there.

Correct the man has to go immediately the last race has finished on saturday.

If one could find a quote from a high ranking BSI employee saying -that the beauty of the indoor tracks is that one can travel knowing that the meeting isnt going to be affected by the weather-would help enormously in any legal action

Dont under-estimate IMG,they are a very successful company and will not want this fiasco to tarnish their reputation-major changes will be made after this.

In my view a further statement should be issused by the senior vice president-IMG motorsports Rob Armstrong.The buck surely ends with him.In my view Mr Olsen has to go over this-he obviously under estimated the problem,as checking the webcam, they didnt even work thro the night fri/sat.IMG should this winter hire a giant warehouse or un-used stadium and spend all winter if neccessary,perfecting laying one-off tracks-with a new track team of the best track curators in europe(money should be no object)this cannot be allowed to happen again.

On the motor club Lonigo website it states 20.00 start time.Sky did say 6pm start time for the programme as usual,so perhaps they will change it to 7pm.

My error def on at 5pm which will be live.

Sky informed the viewers that the Latvian GP at 6pm on sat is LIVE.can anyone confirm that because Lativa is several hours ahead of uk time,and in previous years its actually been shown delayed live-if you know what i mean !

Will try again at 13.30h today

Are there going to be any live updates on this meeting ?

It doesnt look as if they are expecting to much rain.sunday forecast looks much worse.

Am off on friday to the gp,but the weather forecast ive seen is for RAIN on saturday.I do hope its not spoilt by the weather because there isnt any cover in the stadium.

If you want a hotel in dusseldorf try www.booking.com never had any problems booking thro them.From dusseldorf direct trains to gelsenkirchen leave at 13.52and 14.52 arr 14.30 and 15.30 and persumably every hour after that.trams run from the station to the veltins stadium.coming back direct trains leave at 23.29 and00.29 arr dusseldorf 00.01 and01.01 coach transfer from weeze to dusseldorf costs 12.50 euros one way you can get a link to website from www.airport-weeze.de and all rail info can be found on www.bahn.de hope this info is of help.

Were flying to Weeze but getting the coach to dusseldorf and getting to gelsenkirchen and back to dusseldorf by train

And about 1200 on thursday !

BBC are far worse-been watching the Open Golf all weekend and they cant even broadcast it in HD !
