I believe Holland is out because the manufacturers didn't want to go there. Hope nobody's booked travel. Has the Dutch round been cancelled ? I can't seem to find any info anywhere. Me and a mate were planning on going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be making any plans until a revised calendar comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fully paid up member of the Organising club and working official for over ten years I can assure you that the scott will never be a wtc, even if the fim thought your crassly ridiculous idea even remotely acceptable.

section swept Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Is this not a case where we or rather promoters should be looking at our race circuits and introduce not one but three or four tracks where their woodlands and outer perimeters could possibly provide terrain with sections. This offers up potential for paying spectators, vendors fees and markets etc. Parking and facilities including surrounding accommodation etc. Looks to me like a big missed opportunity, televised world round, etc etc. Why does it all have to be on foreign grounds anyway? The race circuits could just be the start and finish points with other areas in the location used for more challenging sections. If we can do WSB, MotoGP, British GP, MX why the hell cant we do a simple trial??♂️No disrespect to anyone working for the sport, but it just seems that we Brits always capitulate or give way to some others?

Anglesey is a race circuit. From what I can gather the ACU decided working with a new venue was too much work so approached John Kerwin about running it at Tong again, but he's declined for this year.

Maybe we should ask the circuit owners to put tarmac around some of the best trials venues we have so they can run races around them and then we can have a wtc there .

I suggest it comes down the return on investment for all of the fore-mentioned being superior to that for a world trial. Trials is a participation sport, MX is mixed participants & spectators, the road race circuit formats are primarily spectator sports.

breagh Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 The beauty of trials it's all about participation , moving on, ND say's the Scott will never be a WTC round fair enough, but am I correct in saying it was once part of the British Championship?
