Estoril Or Cartagena

Oh yes!

 

Nothing about being puffs, just been to enough circuits to know that Valencia isn't worth a return trip, great town etc but the circuit itself ain't all that .....

 

Oh yes it is.....

 

spending a few grand on a weekend at Cartagena? Either that’s some high quality hookers or you’re severely getting your pants pulled down

 

Loving the “Ducatista” attitude towards Cartagena. Some of you need to pull your heads out your...

 

I like racing bikes around in circles and Cartegena is great for that and we're all going in February. It is however very much an (english!) test track in the sun; mostly hairpins and short straights with a few flowing corners and very minimal facilities. I've not done Estoril but its a GP level circuit and every single euro GP circuit I've been to has been on another level to anything in the UK or Cartegena so it's a no brainer if I had to choose between them for the sake of a couple hundred quid extra.

 

One thing to take in to consideration with Cartagena is that some riders find it very harsh on tyres.

I say some, because it’s not necessarily pace related. But certainly Pirelli’s and Metz do not last well there. If you do run Pirelli, run a higher front pressure to help counter the collapsing. They’re very soft carcasses.

out of the two I’d take Estoril. But it’s all personal opinion

 

A euro trip for me is between £1500 and £2000 with all costs included?

 

That’s exactly why my euro trips cost so much.

I don’t know about the rest of you

 

When you said a few grand, I thought you meant £3+

 

I'm from the north, anything over 1 is a few.

 

everywhere else in the the world, and to any dictionary, a couple means 2 and a few means 3
@JoePeps I'm sure even your fellow northeners are fuming at you for trying to make them look dim.

 

Whats a grand between friends?

 

Oi, who rattled your 2nd hand cage?

Get back on ebay for some shitty scrubs for your IL4 nail. Pah...

 

I think you’ll find my Beemer is one of the first in the U.K. xxx

 

I rode Cartagena 3 times around 2001 on Aprilia Mille and was a good basic circuit , more suited to 600/Motards i reckon.. was hardwork on a thou in them days , but modern bikes are ligthter so maybe all ok nowdays..

A group of us of to Estoril in Sept with NL - looks a good circuit if a bit flat , i like elevation like Mugello, Catalyna etc

Also of to Almeria for 4 days begiining of March .. cant stand this cold/wet weather for another 4 months

 

I’m doing Cartagena in November. Not booked it yet but I’m looking forward to. Looking forward to it more than Almeria in April actually but then that might change after riding Almeria.

 

Cartagena? Carter fekin heena?? I hope you're taking an old nail of a bike to blend in with the track and surrounding area? Pah!! Watch out for the wild chickens and burnt out mattress's....
