Liu Kang 02-21-2003, 09:23 AM Hi, guys. Planning a trip to Europe this summer with one goal in mind -- to check out a WSB race. Any recommendations as to the best venue? http://www.worldsbk.com/calendar.asp?p_S_Campionato=SBK Any input is appreciated, thanks! graeme 02-21-2003, 12:07 PM For the crowd numbers go to Brands, for superb racing on a fantastic track go to Assen,for sunshine go to Misano,for atmosphere and close racing go to Imola,for the history of the place go to Monza I think whichever race you choose you wont be disappointed.

Our race tracks are an embarressment. Then tracks themselfs are first class, but the facilites are complete arse! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif NotoriousREV 02-23-2003, 03:21 AM Rather frighteningly I have to agree with Looney on this one, the Spanish round is probably the best one to go for. Fireworks, loads of mad people and should be decent weather! Liu Kang 02-23-2003, 11:45 AM Thanks for the input! I'm leaning towards Assen since the woman has a couple friends in the Netherlands... free room & board is always nice. Plus, it's at an ideal time of year for me to get off work... RepulsioN 02-24-2003, 08:27 AM I'm leaning towards Assen since the woman has a couple friends in the Netherlands... and if you go to Assen while the woman is staying with her friends - you can wing you way over to Amsterdam for a night or two....muwhahahahahaha http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Liu Kang 02-24-2003, 03:41 PM I dunno what's more appealing -- the drugs or the prostitution... So many things to do, so little time... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif henkie 03-01-2003, 07:59 PM Well, the last 2/3 years I visted a lot of GP1 and WSBK rounds.. Valencia / Misano / Le Mans / Monza / Oschersleben / Assen / Brands Hatch / Imola / Mugello / Jerez de la Frontera and perhaps 2 more... When you have never been there you should go to Monza or Imola. I don't like our own Assen so much. I would never go to Brands Hatch, it's really to crowded, to many fans. Misano (been there 3 times) was also pure shit last year. Apart from the enormous heat they blocked all areas. You really couldn't go anywhere. Not for me anymore although I really love the staying in Rimini. The worst of all time is Mugello. Nothing but mud around the circuit. Really NO facilities at all to go for a shit or a drink or a shirt or whatever. That little town also was pure shit to stay. I like Le Mans also a lot, although it is a GP1 ride. Also the city itselve is great. Perhaps Monza is the best circuit to watch, but I've been there 7 times now. Where else can you find a circuit in a green parc in the middle of the city? My god, what a long story.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/piss.gif Jochemk1 03-03-2003, 08:48 AM henkie said: Well, the last 2/3 years I visted a lot of GP1 and WSBK rounds..

May I ask why? chillo 03-04-2003, 08:20 AM gotta be Monza! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif 12 of us did it last year (lots of people in the gix1000 forum saw my post on what it was all like) Henkie's right, half decent facilities nice woodland campsight on the side of the circuit! We are going again this year and staying on to do Le Mans the following weekend!

I want to give that 998 of yours a big kick, heh heh http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif You will like Le Mans, a lot of stands, Music and UNBELIEVABLE events on the circuit at saturday evening for free. Stunt teams, rocket cars etc all on the long straith. Jochem, I have been in Monza at least 5 times. It is great there. It is a 1020 km ride from where I live (middle of Holland) but worth it. It's just that my pals think that we've been there to often. You should go there and take a seat at the Variante Ascari... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/yumyum.gif Why Assen sucks? Hardly good places to sit. VERY POOR accomodations for eating and shitting or whatever for the normal people as we are and a huge number of german drunks and those kinda assholes. Hey Chillo, you'll recognize the nice trees of the Monza circuit camping huh ? We had to hide all our beer for Slight... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif http://www.gixxer.com/uploads/tuigaa.jpg chillo 03-04-2003, 04:19 PM Henkie, See you at Le Mans http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif The campsite at Monza looks familiar! Nice and damp under the trees with a few ants to keep you company! We were only a stone throw from Prima Variante http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Stayed all weekend and left on Monday (too pissed on sunday! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) Milan was interesting in the monday morning rush hour! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif Not sure what the locals thought of our formation stand up wheelies down the tree lined avenues! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/spit.gif Sounds like Le Mans is going to be rockin! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif ps.
