IMCA Worlds to be moved by one week to July 27-August 1st !!????
tamar - 12-2-2008 at 11:04

Hello Guys

Got a request from JPVR to post this here

He would like to know if their are objections to move the 2008 Imca Worlds
scheduled at July 20-25 by one week to July 27- August 1st.
This due to the fact that the FIA has changed the date for round 5 of
the (1/1) GT championship, the Spa- Francorchamps 24hrs from its usual spot
in the last weekend of july to the first weekend in August (August 3-4)

Please do reply :D

Can't we convince the FIA to change their date?

What about all the people having bought their plane-tickets already;)

At least, that was the answer I got when asking a very similar question not so long ago... no, just kidding.... Anyway, it will be that or no show at all I guess, so the choice is obvious:coke:

I was thinking of the Imca track if JP would aprove it ofcourse

Hi,

otherwise it is OK but sunday 27th of July is difficult to me. I think I can't be there before monday. Missing of free practise day doesn't sound good...

Regards

Hi guys,

I don't really care if the Worlds would only start the 27th. I'll be there anyway. Just need to ask Ralph, because I knwo that he already had to make his vacation requests by beginning of january where he's working.

Cheers,
Mike

Rehi,

just talked to Ralph Seif. as I said he already had to make his requests for vacations in eraly January. As the month July and August are school vacation periods too in Germany it will be impossible for him to change the vacation dates. No Worlds for Ralph if they will be moved :(.

Cheers,
Mike

Nice room isn't ? One from many others... So many place in the new fittings, just to know where (& who) the postman have to ring twice :holy

cheers, Philippe.

p.s. Gert, Tamar, congratulations for your great initiative !

Hi Tamar,

Answering your question : for myself, no problemo in shifting the dates.
I'll be on vacations till Tuesday 5th ;)
But it seems being problematic for many other guys, isn't ?

CU @ Bruxelles,
with my best regards,
Philippe.

No problem for us


Big Al - 13-2-2008 at 11:08

I want the race either jusdt before the SPA event, or, inside the Spa track during the event, at the same time, so i can get to see Spa and the cars for real for the first time... :cool:

Big Al


Bill - 13-2-2008 at 11:44

I agree with Big Al... to see the real cars would have been great :bounc:
I`ll be there anyhow :coke:


Big Al - 13-2-2008 at 15:29

3rd August, or just before it.. According to the FIA site, thats' the SPA round..
We need to race Wed to Friday, have a HUGE party Friday nite, and then go in FORCE to SPA. Ask Our contact Jacqui at the SRO for BULK ticket discounts, and have the BEST worlds ever with JP and all our friends together..

:car:

Bill - 13-2-2008 at 23:31

That`s the way best idea so far :bounc::bounc:
Lets have the best Worlds ever....:D


iceracer - 15-2-2008 at 13:59

Has an official date change been made for the worlds?
Is it still just a request?

An official announcement should be made, hopefully sooner than later, so that travel plans may be confirmed.

Greetings from snow bound Toronto, Terry

Emily for certain and myself maybe will not be there if raced on August 1st....

Pitty.. I for one was hopeing to be able to go to Spa to watch my very first LIVE race of FIA GT cars. Now, there's like a whole week between IMCA event and SPA, I can't afford to stay that long.

Sorry Boet, but it's the Wallonian Governement that forced the date change of the Spa 24hrs, JP planned the Worlds based on the official FIA Calender.
