Im not thrilled at the shear number of Spanish GPs BUT Aragon is stunningly beautiful. Im glad GP goes there. Credit to the organizers who put on a good show.

I know and understand that 4 races in Spain is a bit much, but logisticaly and economicaly it makes most sence. Along with that, the weather and the atmosphere here are conducive to good racing. And for you brits, you know there is a Ryan Air flight from Standstead to Zaragoza almost every other day. There is also a direct flight from Germany and another from Italy. Most of the Spainsh tracks are very accessible from other countries in Europe to make the trip a long weekend. So if it makes is easier to swallow, think of it this way. Most people in EUROPE have a new great race for next year only a 2 hour flight away from home!

Hope to see some of you here next September!!

Its a good thing I don't live in Europe. If I did, I'd be broke. From head to toe, all the European rounds are driving distance compared to our two GPs.

Save up and make a summer out of it! Live out of a camper van all summer bouncing from track to track, That does sound nice, maybe I'll start saving up!

Yeah, a 12 hour drive one-way to get to Indy for 45 minutes of motogp racing in a hurricane and no 250s made me reconsider how I choose my "vacations".

Considering that Nicky made the podium that year, I say you made the correct decision.

Thats one thing l would love to do if ever my lottery numbers came good. Buy a camper van, stick a scooter on the back and take in all the euro rounds, and in between races stay at coastal resorts and stuff.

Edit, Oh yeah, with a quick hop across the pond to laguna thrown in for good measure. (not in the camper van)
