Well That’s The Portimao Track Surface Buggered

Just been relayed as well !

although I hear it really did need resurfacing

 

it was bumpy and cracked when I went which must be 4 yrs ago!

 

Could pick any tack for that statement mate....

 

And most aren’t resurfaced for decades!

 

It bloody did. It was like the Sea of Tranquility in places.

 

Atleast they generally use proper tarmac in Europe (bar Cartagena who like to paint the track black)

msv tarmac is made out of wd40, Vaseline and essence of chip shop floor

 

But look on the bright side, tyre wear rate is low

 

probably assisting you in smashing your bike up so that when it gets nicked in swindon it's not that bit a deal.

 

Yep, defo Cartagena chip fat surface that did for me

 

did you lose a bike to thieves bradders or did it get mashed up at the circuit?

 

Luckily the second....twice....

 

The new surface is excellent! It’s just very abrasive At the moment! Hopefully F1 and moto gp will smooth it out a bit!

 

Quite the opposite. F1 will be adding bumps like the ride on a Sandy beach!

 

Hope not! I’ll let you know in December!

 

It'll be better after, at least less abrasive. Silverstone was the same after the re resurface. Hope to get to PM next year, after the f*ck up that 2020 has been.

 

December? Don’t forget yer wets. Or even tyre chains...

 

All these negative waves man!(I will be taking the wets though!!!)

 

I’ve experienced far too many disappointments at that time of year. Even southern Spain...

 

Yeah me too buddy! I’m always happy to go to the bar instead though!! One of my boys is doing his acu at Mallory this Friday! Now sod that!!
