IainB Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Would have been interesting to see how Chris Harris's dream of a Cardiff wild card would have squared with his dream of becoming World Longtrack Champion as the Britsh GP clashes with the penultimate round of the Longtrack series, a problem he fortunately doesn't have. Shame really as he was in vintage form around the EoES last night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the ticket in my See Ticket app but there's no information in terms of timings for the day. Does anyone have any details of where I need to be and when or can suggest who I could contact to confirm as I've not been able to find either? Any help greatfully appreciated. Many thanks. The did send out email last Friday with some timings on them. If i remember correctly the entry to stadium was from 14:30 and meal starts at 15:00 Edited August 29, 2023 by severnsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gresham78 Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 If anyone's intersted there's no park and ride facility at Cardiff City's ground this year even though the team's playing away at Ipswich. With a rail strike set for this Saturday I would have thought they could do with every parking facility in the city available. Parking details for the event can be foound here https://prnewslink.net/releases/32094.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickB Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Not sure where I saw it, but a few weeks ago in a promo interview sure I saw Phil Morris mentioning a "test event" for the track this year, prior tobthe GP. Appreciate that this will probably be behind closed doors (like quali!) But not seen any further mention since. Did I dream the whe thing or can anyone shed any light?

ArthurRudge Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I don't know why they still hold this at Cardiff, it looks so poor with a under half filled stadium does make the sport look a joke in the UK....Wait!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
