FAST GATER Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Having been to Cardiff on many occassions I have to say the racing may not be the best but with the roof and the great atmosphere it made it worth the trip .I have both stayed and driven there and back in the day ( which I did most of the time latterly)I found the city friendly and buzzing on GP day but I think the 40k plus crowds have gone forever .It therefore makes a case for it to be held at the NSS ,a better track without a doubt but you are hostage to the British weather! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregularisback Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 2 hours ago, eric i said: Some of your contributions...... 2022 'Cardiff hasn't produced a single decent moment in 20 stagings. End of story.' 2023 'It's Cardiff. Probably the grubbiest and most boring city in the UK. It needs binning.' Your comment in relation to the closure of Wolverhampton ' Good Riddance' Your comment in relation to Belle vue, 'Its the only track in the UK its worth watching the sport now given the rubbish all the others churn out.' Your comment in relation to AGM, 'Ludicrous that Birmingham and Workington have decided to move up a league when neither of the could make it pay in lower leagues last year. Even more crazy is Oxford running in 3 leagues! Predict all 3 will be gone before end of next season.' I could go on but I guess you will continue to pollute the forum. I can’t agree with the comments about Cardiff. Great city, great stadium centrally located, though Cardiff is out on a limb. To be honest I was underwhelmed on my only GP visit, but probably my fault as I don’t like tiny tracks. If only a disappointing 20,000 want to attend, where else in Britain could it be staged. For what it’s worth I believe more fans would visit Birmingham than Cardiff, though 40,000+ were at Cardiff when I went. Is it totally impossible to lay a temporary track at one of the Birmingham stadia during a summer, when the football season is over?.

JoeW436 Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I read Bartosz has a new engine tuner now, he might win the championship by 50 points now instead of 40. It’s been seriously hard to gather any enthusiasm for this series this year, Bartosz hasn’t been particularly good yet is still winning the series by a country mile, you cannot tell me the two Russians would be that far behind him at this point?

Gresham78 Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 We're thinking of going by train this year for the first time. The last train home for us will be at 10:11pm. For those who go by rail regularly to the Cardiff GP, are there still likely to be long queues for the trains at that time of the evening? We usually go for a bite to eat and a drink following the meeting but are we going to need to head for the station as soon as the event is over in order to get in the queue to catch the train at 10pm ? We've noticed there's always masive queue outside the station by the time we leave the stadium and we were wondering if it takes several hours to clear. Thanks.
