Dear Friends,

I would like to announce that in exclusivity on your website.

Since April I worked about it to do my 3rd edition and also to celabrate the 10th birthday of PETIT RC! Imagine......

BUT in June, the town of Maisons-Alfort said to me that the complex (of the last edition) is not available In December! Embarassed

Then I tried to contact 2 others town but nothing is avalable and also, that is not simple to find a complex with 150 peaple inside per day...

1 Spanish club tried to help me and ask their town to organize the "PETIT RC World Tour 2008" in a very big and beautiful complex... That was for me an excellent idea to promote my race outside France but nothing was available in november and December.

And I tried to an another French town near Paris but last weekend this town inform me that November and December were not available...

I'm disapointed to announce that but I tried to do my best for you....
I wanted to celabrate the 10th anniversary of PETIT RC but....

I will send an email to all drivers to announce that...

I noticed a lot of people (outside France) very motivate as you and that is a real pleasure.

Thank a lot to you,

Nicolas Petit

After sobbing throughout the night, I have calmed a little to write this clear headed response.

Calling all Kamikaze Noobs, exploding NiMs and in the immortal words of He-Man "By the Fire of LiPo" - We should take the building by storm and block the entrances. We need only hold the Al"Fort" for 3 days. With some team work, dedication and commitment to the greater cause we can race once again, taking our rightful place at the base of the table! Twisted Evil

Alternatively, we can wait until 2009?

That is a shame.... hopefully Petit Race will take place in 2009. This should hopefully give us lot enough time to master our skills! Shocked

Wembley!

Brilliant idea! Bring it to the UK. Now - where to find facilities.

The nearest indoor sports facilities to us in the South East are: -

1 Colchester Leisure World
2 Highwoods Sports & Recreation Centre (Gilberd School)
3 Tiptree Sports Centre
4 University of Essex Sports Centre
5 Philip Morant School & 6th Form College Sports Hall
6 Sir Charles Lucas Centre for Sports and Art
7 St Benedicts Catholic College
8 St Helena School Sports Hall
9 Stanway School Sports Facilities

But none of them will offer the auditorium required for the capacity.

Then there's Kent or London. I would suggest keeping it near the south as many will be travelling by ferry and/or Chunnel from the Continent.

With all the prospective redundancies in the banking sector, Canary Wharf might be quite good for space! Shocked

Mr Newman!

You have supplied some big contract work for various organisations. What's your knowledge on Sports facilities or =/<250 seat auditoriums in the south east?

Dear Ben,

thank for your help. You're right, the best way will be in the south ou England to get Belgium, France, Germany,etc and you, English drivers of course!

We need an RC complex as Maisons ALfort last year - The capacity for drivers were 100 drivers per day (2 days) - The best way for me and for you : on friday practises all the day or afternoon and weekend, race!
Need carpet of course!

South east? why not where?

all infos are welcome of course and I really enjoy any help...

Hi Nicolas - sorry to hear you cannot hold the event this year. We enjoyed filling the bottom finals last year! Laughing

I hope you can get another event sorted some time.

Regards

After some thinking I thought it would be best to hunt down something closer to home. Went for the Charter Hall in Colchester. This would make it logistically possible. Anywhere else and it would more beneficial for someone closer to that region to assist.

But........ a £2,500 price tag for the hall appears to have put a stop to the whole thing. Dropped Nicolas a PM but not heard anything back, so I am assuming it's the price tag. Then there's the racing carpet, all the jumps, track marking and associated paraphernalia.

Need 200 entries to make it work and that's dependant on many from continental Europe venturing across.

Due to being sworn to secrecy. I cannot divulge too much information but.........

Scrape some pennies together and brace yourselves. It's within a nano-meter of going ahead. Very Happy

If it does, can we get some provisional names for booking in for the UK Petit in January.

Let's make it an LBC invasion! Shocked

Besides, if we get enough together, we could tactically work together to guarantee an A final position for one person. Bid's for A-Final candidates start at £5.00 and all proceeds go towards sacrificial kamikazee pilots Laughing
