If it goes tits up and they keep the deposit because we cant go due to restrictions or paying for quarantine on return with no option to transfer to the following year or some sort of credit then i wont be booking so much as an afternoon tea with them again

If you’re in a hotel in a foreign country you ain’t getting looked after and you can’t fly home. I wasn’t too worried before but I didn’t think it would hit me so hard or be so bad. How you’d deal with that not being at home I don’t know tbh. I guess I’m saying I’m pretty much out.

Looking at the last two weeks’ data, Portugal has both the highest case rate (16,829 per million people) and death rate (340 deaths per million people). These numbers exceed both the UK (case rates 6,480, death rate 250 per million) and the US (case rates 6,920, death rate 131 per million) by a considerable margin. Portugal’s neighbour, Spain, also has lower numbers (case rates 10,500 and deaths 107 per million).

Morning Claire/all.

I'm sitting here looking at the cases in Portugal sky-rocketing up and thinking "there's no chance of Portugal going ahead"

But the problem we potentially face is, if we wait until you're forced to cancel (which i know isn't your fault) then the other dates we
could potentially book for later in the year may already be full.

There's a date at Parcmotor in Oct that would half-suit our requirements

But we'd have to shorten the trip down to fly in, trackday and fly out... Rather than making more of a family holiday.

Now i understand you're in a very tricky position here, but is there no way to potentially move it to that date ?

Just to make it more complex before you answer, if we were to say yes to that, there would be an influx of emails asking the same
thing as there's 18 of me and the lads (and a lady) booked on the Portimao trip. But for transparency i thought to give you the full
information before anything was discussed in more depth.

I know you said that may not be an option if the Portimao date goes ahead, but I'm feeling as the days pass and with Portugal being
the worst cases/instances in Europe at the moment that's looking less and less likely.

So with all that in mind, i thought i'd send you a mail for a bit of a discussion to see where we are.

Thanks for the email. Let me speak to Mark about the options however we have kept aside all our Europeans on Portimao/cartagena circuits etc for the end of the year to ensure you have the option to move.

But it's your birthday

So i'm reading that as saying "we've not put them on the website so you'll have the option to move".

Which is of course a brilliant thing and potentially gives us options for Portimao as well as Parcmotor. Hopefully anyway. I'm not expecting any other steps for a little while as the wheels and cogs sometimes turn slowly as people make decisions, but you all know me by now, i just things to be sorted, organised and planned... Hence why i sent them the initial email.
