Neil will be running the event as always. On average it’s usually between 25-30 degrees. Always take the fan to cool down mind you!!! Scarperia hotel is the best one to be in. I’ll be doing the 4 days can’t wait to be back there.
Neil and John from FE will probably do the signing on, but then the running of the trackday will be done by Promo Racing, a real slick Italian trackday company, roll on August.
I've never done a euro track day and only done a couple here in the UK in the novice group . If I wanted to do Mugello would I be getting in everyone;s way? Is there a novice group or is everybody fcuk off fast on proper track day bikes ? . The price is for four days on track, bike transportation and hotel? So i would need to buy flights/transfers/food etc? Thanks Colin
There is a novice group. Price is usually; Track Bike & gear transport Hotel B&B. I think Mugello has a garage surcharge.
I did several euros in novice group. Don't worry about it, just book it and go. If you improve, they'll move you up.
I did Brno a couple of years back and it was 35C ambient and 59C track temp. Bloody hot in other words, but you do tend to manage it ok. I remember heaving cold, wet and soggy leathers on in the morning which was character building and funny watching everyone else do it. I also remember the high track temperature impacting front tyre performance hard on the brakes. Just had to brake a couple of metres earlier. Love Brno and can't wait to go back next month
I was going to do Brno with NL this year but, the call of Mugello again was too strong. Maybe next year if the circuit is still going.
FE - The last time I used them (many years ago now) was the comment of "don't make your problem our problem". Said it all, plus they damaged my bike upon return to the UK and wouldn't pay for repairs as it was a track bike!
I have heard similar comments over the years, however I must say that I have used FE for over ten years, sometimes twice or three times a year on Euro events and have never had a problem. I do however make sure I get the bike protected as much as possible with foam/bubblewrap/blankets etc, seems to work for me.
One thing to keep in mind with FE's Euro trips are the daft drop and collect times. This event is; 3rd of August drop. Collection 31st of August.
Over the years, I've heard various comments about the way FE transports customers bikes. Some are ok and others are very worrying. I'd rather simply book the hotel & Track time and transport it myself.
