Petit 2012 14/15 Jan

[Steve W]

It has been confirmed the tyres can be purchased on site on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The track will be open for practise on the Friday from 1.00pm till 9.00pm.

The practise track will not be the same as the final layout for the Saturday and Sunday.

For practise and race any Dboots tyres can be used.

Hi all,

I have now had it confirmed there will be another delivery before the race so there will be plenty of tyres available and quantities will not be limited!

Hopefully this is good news for everyone.

The Nanobyte will not be released for sale until the Friday and will be available from us at Ardent.

Thanks

Hi Bally
Is there any chance the Blockpass tyres will be available also?

From my understanding the Blockpass tyres will not be available for this event, they are mainly designed for outdoors.

The tyres situation has now been cleared up. Most people will turn up at different times during the day on Friday, so I really can't see there been a mad rush to glue up your tyres.

Lets just look forward to the event now!!

Thanks for confirming.

I'm sure we can trim the front Nanos to lose some grip on the front if needed.

Really looking forward to this event, just over a week to go now.

Me too, i know the run-up has hardly been smooth but there will still be some good racing and it will be good to see some of my European friends there!

I do agree but I think it will be a top weekend racing.

[stumpiey]

im very much looking forward to this, i like others would have liked the chance to run the tyres before the event, but everyone is in the same boat (well sort of)

According to Mr Petit it does not matter if the tyres are mainly for outdoor use. Just because Bally isn't selling them on the day doesn't mean you can't use them. His exact words were "any dboots tyre":

Great, sound like the tyres are sorted then. Still not happy about not having them before the meeting but at least we can glue them up the day before. Just have to look forward to the meeting now.

So your kinda happy-ish??? Well that's a start

Now things are getting more clear
I´m sure Petit 2012 will be a great event.

We are taking 16 drivers from Portugal for this event, including Miguel Matias (no need for presentations) and Ricardo Monteiro (Euro B Champion in 1/8 Off-Road Nitro), Sandra Santos (perhaps the only women racing in Petit ?) Arnaldo Guedes, Mário Ribeiro, Jorge Borges, Nuno Roque, Tiago Vieira, Luis Godinho, Hugo Miguel, Pedro Brites, Luis Martins, Bruno Antunes, Miguel Coelho, Afonso Sousa and Nuno Maia. Tiago Silva is the mechanic of Matias and Alexandre Azenha the Pro Camera Man.

Absolutely a "Good Job" by you guys!

I'm good, I'm working hard to get my shop going, I will tell ya all about it when I see you

[Skidrow]

Sounds good Dave

[andy110m]

Now everything has become clear regarding tyres, I'm really looking forward to this event. I'm sure its going to be a fantastic, enjoyable event. How many people are planning to get there on the Friday? I'm hoping to get there around 2-3pm if all goes well.

I wonder how much different the track is going to be from what we get to practice on. Personally I'm not bothered if its a lot or a little but it'll be nice to get a handle on the surface and the tyres.

Is there an updated driver list anywhere?

[mekios]

Go test the track on Friday you guys so when we arrive on Saturday can get some usefull tips. Especially on inserts!

[arny]

Most of the Portuguese Team will arrive at 4pm if everything runs ok with plane, car rental and trip from luton to the track.
