People do love going to a launch but spreading those numbers over 3 launches makes it difficult for people to attend every one. What they should have done was maximised 1 launch to get as many racers and public there as possible to create the impression that this is a buzzing place, where all other racers are and that you should be there too! What they have done is launched it to one side of the coin (Racers) but not to the other side (public). Now the challenge is to get both back in good numbers at the same place. A launch is the cheapest and easiest way to do it but that ship's left the dock. |

They needed the soft launch for feedback purposes, things are progressing well too
so far with the small amount of joe public and racers, has helped them figure out what's best

The only issue that I can see with numerous soft launches is that it dilutes the impact.
Having attended the BTCC "launch" meeting it didnt seem to be any more than a club meeting. They do have a VIP launch party planned though in September. One of the things I would consider is managing expectations. Anyone who looks at the website http://www.moto-arena.co.uk/ will have a perception of the venue that is very different to the reality. Now it is built maybe phot's would be better than artists impressions. That's a shame as the reality is far and away the best in the UK for an indoor track. Good to see that they have representation on here now. Hopefully it can become a positive experience and MA understand we all want them to succeed. The concerns over business taking the larger meetings away from clubs will always prevail but MA seem to be working closely with MK. I'm sure between them they can ensure that clubs still benefit when STCC, BRCA Nationals, BTCC, SLCC, SPC etc include them in next years programme. As i've said before the thought of the first few meetings of the year being indoors is a major positive. It worked well at Ardent with the SPC starting with an indoor meeting (the biggest attendance of the series IIRC). |

Perhaps they should have a forum in the 'Club Talk' (or somewhere) area of oOple , with stickies giving location, opening times, club meeting days, class catered for, upcoming soft launch dates, who in this long post is part of admin & who is not etc, so hard facts can be easily found.
