bellevueace Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) People seem to overlook Bristol, plenty of accommodation for all budgets, only 47mins on the train to Cardiff, and its a great place to stay over umpteen things to do.

geoff100 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I stay in cardiff often with work in good hotels , once asked for a price for a room on the grand prix dates was quoted 4 times the rate on that day " because of an event at the stadium" needless to say we watch on tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GiveusaB Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I've stayed in hotels up until now, but my wife suggested Air BnB for this year and we found a reasonably priced room for £75 p/n walking distance to Cardiff Centre and free parking etc....

Managed to get 2 rooms at Cardiff university about 20min walk from centre for £100. Two nights as we will head to Somerset for pairs on Fri. Looking forward to it.

The seats that we have had in years past, which were perfectly affordable are now £80. Sorry, but with coach travel, programme, drinks, meals etc.it is too much. Sorry Jason, I will be supporting you from my TV listening to Nigel and Kelvin. Crazy money and we are not even talking hotel rooms here. I normally make a racecard which you can print off, PM me if you want one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded this and have been having a play but there's no instructions. I can see how you set the riders etc.and I tried putting in a hypothetical meeting. The program generated okay but I can't see how you put in the results. Does it auto generate from online live data or can you enter scores manually? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks In the 'heats' tab, tap in the heat you want to edit, then use your finger to drag the coloured initials to the right positions. You can enter exclusions, falls etc by tapping the three lines next to the riders names - important for countback and the standings (see below). You can also record the race time too. The 'riders' tab auto populates from what you enter in the heats & puts the riders in the right standings order, including countback as long as you enter exclusions, falls etc. The 'stats' tab also auto populates from what you enter in the heats & gives you stats on the gates. There is a 'show help' option on the home page? Edited July 3, 2018 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenantony Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Do you still get access to cheaper accommodation when you buy a ticket? Going to make a very late decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
