(He should know) Two long straights with bends at the the ends ,not my type of circuit. Should not even be on the moto circuit. In the middle of nowhere with no atmosphere. Another one who has never actually been to the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of many other places I would rather be. Dont forget your ear plugs for the LOUD music that they play at all of these type of events.!! Do you seriously think they play music whilst the bikes are out on the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try getting to the venue itself on the roads, try making your way around Buriram this weekend, try getting accommodations that are less than two hours from Buriram. Those who took the money from Newin will have the world laughing in their faces once this farce is over. Sent from my CMR-AL19 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Well I managed to get to the venue today without any problem and my accommodation is 46 minutes from the track.

ronaldo0 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Wife was there yesterday and said was full off foreigners . She said there was army and police everywhere making sure everyone was being looked after and helped. Prices for water etc were normal prices , plenty to do in and around the track , she was even shocked by the staff cleaning the toilets 24/7 . The BT commentators were saying they were very impressed with the venue , track and said the way in was bit hairy but hey its Thailand they said. I watched practice yesterday which I usually never do and it was quite good as everyone was out on track as its new so I guess they were all wanting to get to know it better. Times were all within a good spread also so I reckon will make for a good race and the wide parts will make for a lot of passes . Definitely going next year .

Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Im sure I remember hearing it was being removed from a calendar due to the costs of holding it. I cant remember if was MOTO GP or F1 . quite possibly F1 as it always seems a washout with rain. These blokes on 4 wheels don't like rain much !! ????

[emoji3] It was the last F1 race last year(loved it and the track and view was awesome) no one likes rain in F1 or Motogp but it does make for excitement!

DJ54 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think it’s awesome and wish I’d heard of it earlier then I’d be there. When I heard about It checked to see where / distance from Udon Thani Road Trip!. Read a post that hotels were full up. So next year I will plan earlier. You’ve got to give the organizer a chance to show themselves before making doubts...... Good on them! If if anyone knows approximate time it will be on TV please post.

thaiguzzi Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Lorenzo is out of the race after his highside in first practice, creating new injuries, as well as aggravating the old ones he received last time out. May miss Motegi in a fortnight too. Marquez crashed in 2nd practice but is unhurt (bummer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
