  2. Good on you. I just booked us up for Jerez with Nolimits on the 27th as well. First foreign trackday on the bikes as well :) Euro trackdays are so much more relaxed than the average UK trackdays, really looking forward to it.

  4. cheaper beer, better food trackside, bigger hangovers, funny colour fuel, hire cars to knacker, fun n japes, fancy dress, stolen breakfast, wet wipes, 2 races per day (to and from track)

  6. Agree with all the above. I'm seriously considering doing euro stuff only, so much better IMO. Not done Jerez but heard its ace. I'm sure you'll enjoy.
     
  7. Worse addition than Heisenberg Meth! :Wacky:

  8. Jerez track is v good. Jerez town a dump. Little scope for after track japes. Hotels used by track day companies are right by track, 10k from town.
     
  9. There's only one problem with foreign TDs, they're even more addictive than domestic ones. Enjoy :)
     
  10. jerez track is fantastic. one of my all time faves, its quite flat so fairly easy to learn, but it takes a lot of work to get it to flow fast and there are at least 3 100mph + corners . epic

    jerez old town is a bit rough but has a few ok restaurants. seville is only 45 min drive away and thats an awesome city

    if you can choose, stay in the montecastillo golf hotel its much nicer and usually only a couple quid a night more. food is better there too

    we usually land and go straight to big carrefour supermarket to stock up on water, fruit and stuff to make lunch with. eating at the track is expensive (but ok quality)
     
  11. As above re food, pack a sandwich toaster with your bike kit, toasties, crisps and fruit for lunch.
     
  12. Thanks for all the tips, looking forward to it

    Cheers

    100ml max amount of any 1 fluid through airport security - you have been warned

    i'd send almost everything you are going to need with the bike
