Spa?

If it's after April 2022, I'll try and come and watch!

See now I absolutely love that as an idea, it's an epic track and it's van/drive rather than flying and beaches, but it's a bucket list circuit for sure.

We've used Bikers Days previously and they're exceptionally organised.

Le Mans is only 300 miles from Dover.

Almeria is a great winter warmer for sure it is not a Jerez / Porto of obviously a GP circuit....the facilities at hotel are Ok...pool is not great ! I would not suggest a family holiday there if im honest....its good for a few loads on a cheap early or late euro...…….for the money you cant beat it....

OK for a winter break, but maybe not worth the hassle when it's warm in UK

Does any of this apply to us?

No, as the event is scheduled to continue as planned on dates given

I am only not going as I refuse to pay through the nose for a flight that I had for 3 times less when I booked originally

Think that's for Tour operators mostly - NL only offer to book the hotel. If they offered flights and transfers as well they'd be under different rules

so now Portugal have said lockdown is extended until 30th May...you think NL will issue us a credit refund although some cancelled just two days ago.????

It's an interesting question- I guess we won't know until after Monday, but assuming it is effectively extended at the Portugal end until then, I reckon they will offer an alternative date to those who haven't cancelled and have coughed up the full amount just ignore the ones who have cancelled

I hope I'm wrong , but that's my personal view of the most likely scenario.

Did you cancel in the end?

Whilst i sent them a shitty email, my booking isn't showing on their system as cancelled... But as i've said... i don't care. I won't be going with them anyway

I asked if it was gonna be cancelled. Their reply goes against what the news is saying...

Afternoon

 

We have spoken to Portimao Circuit this morning And we are allowed to travel there.

They are not on a lockdown as we were in England they are on a curfew all bars restaurants shops will close at 10.30 at night.

The circuit is also sending all customers a personal invitations to ride at an event.

 

I hope this reassures you again.

 

Many Thanks

I've cancelled. I did ask for a transfer to ParcMotor in October but was immediately rebuffed, tis what it is. N
No one can give a definitive answer as to how things will pan out so I'm not gonna throw good money after bad, so to speak.
Have booked 2x road bike days with MSV in June instead. Brands Indy and Cadwell.

i got a nice email from them saying

"It is shame you cannot join us in Portimao Sir. It is looking very good for weather and all conditions out there.
