The Monkey Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You will have to explore what is required to attain "deprived" status first. It may be better just to race your hotrod into the wigs of those folk? Link to comment
GraeV11 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It is already in place round here. The Police even provide a helicopter to floodlight the track. It is an olde tradition to set fire to the winning car in the local park. Link to comment

Baldini Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Where does it mention Wales? KB Link to comment
belfastguzzi Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Where does it mention Wales? KB Good point! Thanks. I original saw this posted under the heading, ' New Race track in Wales being proposed' Anyway, there's hardly any danger of happening anywhere. Link to comment
macguzzi Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Oh it would use to much fuel damage the environment and somebody may die. Link to comment
Skeeve Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Click link What's good enough for Wales must be good for Northern Ireland too? Plenty of tourists coming here for road races, as well as local enthusiasts. Hey, would one of you UK residents sign this thing for me? It doesn't allow comments, nor non-resident signatures, but having done a semester abroad in Oxford a bazillion years ago, it would be a big bonus if they approved this thing before I go back to visit. Nurburgring would be a cool visit, but I don't sprecken the Deutsch, or even verstehe ein bischen. The pommies will tell you I don't speak English either, being a 'Murrican, but at least I can usually catch the drift of the conversation & read the road signs [well, maybe not in Wales, but who can? Mind your p's & q's... ] Anyway, if they can get this thing off the ground (or rather, ON the ground! ), it has the added benefit that being a one-way loop, it eliminates the biggest hazard to fast drivers visiting the country, the fact that they all drive on the wrong side of the road over there in the UK! Anyway, I think it's a brilliant idea for promoting tourism, & if they put it in Wales it will be closer to the Isle of Man as well, for that 1-2 punch for tourism of someone going there to sample the track & then head across for the IoM TT!

I might argue (but not actually measure) that IOM's handy-close to Northern Ireland: so if the imagined Burger Ring, as you other-side-of-the-pond boys no doubt say, were to be located here, it would be the best of all solutions. Come here for NorthWest 200 week (with the tourist hordes). spend another week whizzing around the Burger (avec hordes), then hop over to IOM for pudding. Eh? Ever heard of a 1-2-3 punch? You have now. Link to comment

Yeah, it's the "avec hordes" that the whole idea of this thing is trying to avoid, and its greatest appeal: having a Burger'ing that one can drive horde-less, as it were, and then join the hordes for the IoM (or NW200) would work quite nicely, I think. Whether in N.Ire or the land of Cymru doesn't matter much to this ugly 'Murrican, they & some Manx kittens are all just a hop, skip & ferry-ride away from landing @ Gat-throw... Link to comment
belfastguzzi Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 ...this ugly 'Murrican... just a hop, skip & ferry-ride away from landing @ Gat-throw... Lucky for us, I believe that most of you guys don't have passports (or newspapers). Link to comment
