Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
Saying thurs just slight possibility of showers now.... Fingers crossed all will be a go, as long as you have some decent tires and you get some decent heat in them should be fine.

Really? Info from those guys always saying we have clear days if the thick fog allows 50 meter visibility max??
I so wish you are right, but can not find anything better then rain for Thursday, seems to be the worst day in the week :(

Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
When I was searching the weather website today, it was saying "chance of showers" which to me doesn't mean rain is full blown conclusion... I'm thinking positive here!

Very helpful - thanks, with all that you're likely to need a big rig and team to use it all ;)
Here's hoping we get the green light! From what I understand we should know tomorrow one way or the other.

Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
Lovely day again. Hope it holds out tomorrow. Understand the other looking to get bikes from BG have canceled?
-
Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
Yeah, it is great today. Still the forcast for tomrrow keeps being extremely bad, even with temperatures around 11 degree.
I am afraid it will be a no-go :(
-
Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
Bummer! wish the track day would have been today !
So, does than mean that all that were going are now not?
-
Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
I can only speak for TB Racing and myself, we have the privelage to decide tomorrow morning, as we will ride the bikes to the track.
I had advised some newbe Shanghai track users, who were both eager to join, but I am not sure they cancelled.
I guess they delay to the 25th though.

Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
BG are saying the others booking with them have pulled out. Presume that was those guys. What is the deal, provided the weather is good the track will be open? How do the sessions work? What are the times etc?

G'Day,
BGP Shanghai representative told us last week the motorbike sessions start at 10:00AM (3x sessions -20min- during the day at 200RMB each). He told me to expect an email but still waiting......
Just talked to 998S on the phone a while ago and we will decide tomorrow morning around 8:00AM about the track-day, weather forecast says 80+% rain and wind, bloody brilliant weather today.

As far as I understand, SIC is not selling track tickets to private persons.
Not sure if this is true or not, or just to protect the organiser's bizz.
Presume it is true (it makes sense from SIC point of view), then if BG pulls tomorrow, we need to buy from one of the car organisers (if they are there at all), or it is a no go...

TB - 998S
Can you guys post up the plan in the morning if you will go or not.
Thanks

Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
Sure, no problem. The weather forecast just changed dramatically in the last hour, the first time since a week.
Wonder if it is just a glitch or not:

By the way, where are your bikes?

Re: Open Track Day events for Motorcycles at the F1 Circuit
With temp. and rain forecast for today, as well as a look outside, just decided to skip this one definitely, and hope for the 25th March.

Sunday forecast - sunny and 11 degrees!! Rock on. Says zero chance of rain.
Time to get some heat in the tires and bust a big fat wheelie down the straight!
Look forward to seeing whoever is going there.
