Cartagena 23-25 Oct with NL.... All of this assumes of course that NL re-credit us with our deposit money.. Which will of course be a deal-breaker for them in terms of whether we use them or not. But with my 50th birthday being on the 26th, it seems like a perfect trackday in terms of date at the very least. Price wise it's coming in reasonable too. It's also half-term which would mean my boy would miss 1 day of school, but we can live with that as we'd actually be in Spain for my 50th, which sounds cracking to me.
In terms of location, it's as far south as Portimao is and temps should still be up in the 20s.
Flights with Easyjet are to Alicante, prices coming in about the same as they were to Faro. So again, nothing lost massively there.
I've been watching videos of the circuit and asked a few of the boys who've been there and say it's more suited to a 600 than a 1000, but considering the bikes we'd all be taking, well, that's kinda ideal in many way.
Yes i know it's not Portimao... i get that... but i'm still putting it up for discussion at the very least. I'm not doing anything or sending anything to NL... but .. it's a discussion point for me. I understand that things like NL deposit refunds, Flight refunds, hire car refunds etc will affect peoples decisions, but if we leave some aspects of that out, how does it sound as far as plans go ?
I know some specifically wanted Portimao over any other circuit, but as stated, i can't promise that NL or indeed anyone will have Portimao next year on a date that suits our family situation. As much as i'd like to say yes, it just may not work.
