[claire.furnell]

I meant women drivers! Men don't generally liek to admit we exists because it really hurts male pride when we beat them! Umbrellas! Pit boards! Try steering wheels and gear shifts!

Claire If I'm really really really nice is there any chance of a complementary Power Tour or Sky pit pass????

[claire.furnell]

you can always get into the pits at Power Tour meetings you don't even have to be nice to me! And as for motorsport in Belgium Radicals on Sky Sports will be filmed at Zolder and Spa this year! Thats a question whats the nearest airport to them both and can I fly to Machester on a Sunday evening! Oh and satire I do get - its just a touchy subject have a guess at the number of people that tell me women arn't involved in motorsport unless they are wearing lycra! If I had a pound for every one.......!

...you'd be a lot heavier?

[hansgerd]

That's interesting... when are the Radicals in Spa and Zolder this year ? The nearest airport to Spa and Zolder is Bruxelles if you are coming from Manchester. Take a look at http://www.brusselsairport.be/timetables/ and pick Manchester. There are quite a few flights.

[claire.furnell]

thanks Marshy! Thanks for the airport info its all a little tricky as I have to go from London and back to Manchester! I'm sure there is a way round it! Anyway Radicals will be at Zolder on April 21st and 22nd and then at Spa on May 5th and 6th. Hope that helps there a lot going on over the water check out www.radicalmotorsport.com for te calender.
