Re: Carnet guide

The UK asked to leave the EU - the EU didn't chuck us out - the UK voted for the benefits of brexit - one of which was loss of freedom of movement - we could probably have arranged to keep some of the stuff we wanted to keep - our Gov't decided we didn't want to keep anything...

Re: British Teams doing worlds need insurance, post Brexit

I don’t really know about Belgian «One Event Licence», but I think it’s the same as such a French licence : Fanch - here's the relevant section from the Gedinne SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS from 2019 It doesn't say any more than that - but I have been told verbally that it included "home country&...

Re: British Teams doing worlds need insurance, post Brexit

Hmm. So if you have an ACU licence, and normally buy a weekend 'guest' licence at an EU event, does this mean we need to get this accident insurance and repatriation cover? Far as I know - certainly for Gedinne - if you take out the "event licence " & insurance - reasonably sure it co...

Re: Race meeting ideas

I think we need to alter the way meetings are presented to spectators and I am sure racers may have some brilliant ias, please try them out.

Re: 2020 Superside calendar

Surely better to delay "as long as it takes" than risk the need to return to another "Lockdown" later ?
See journo's asking about exit strategy every day - they just don't seem to grasp the reality of "as long as it takes"

Re: Brake bias- tubular long chassis

Well that's better - but we had issues with scrutineering at Cadwell with a similar setup - and he was absolutely right - that setup is a problem if the one cylinder fails - the pedal will go to the floor on the failed side and put no pressure on the remaining good cylinder - so the addition of a &q...

Re: Brake bias- tubular long chassis

Not sure if it's any help - but we have an in-built front bias by using different size M'Cyls 5/8" to the front pair of calipers & 0.7mm for the rear / chair - works well...
