Hi

From this thread on VD it seems that ESS might have gone under.

Eeek. There organisation was impressive.

All the best

That sucks, they were by far the best trackday company out there.

Indeed, definitely worth the little bit extra they seemed to charge.

Sad

You never know - someone might be interested in 'buying them out' or something.

Unfortunately this seems to be an Thumbs Up

for the cheap track day companies that skimp on marshals etc.

Sadly, it's true.

That's bad.

I felt there were by far the best trackday company out there.

I hope Tony and Sarah pull through and the future pans out ok.

as for trackdays, lets hope the other companies (or a new one) here all the good stuff about ESS and at least implement some of the positives into their own trackdays.

If nothing else the timings and re-gridding per session was brilliant. Thumbs Up

Lack of red flags due to excellent marshalling and numbers Thumbs Up

Tony's passion Thumbs Up

We were toying between a school with them or CSS.

Shame. Only did the one pace day with them, but thought it was really well organised.

Guess this means no enduro in November as well. Sad

Nooo!

I still have the free trackday at Brands booked for November (in compensation for the day that got postponed earlier in the year).

Shit.

Bugger, the ESS days were always very well run from my experience, shame to see them go. I guess that about does it for the PACE day concept as well... Confused

Maybe someone else will pick up the PACE concept, but I suppose they'd have to deal with transponders etc. Which is all hastle and eating into their tiny profit margins.

Never did a trackday with them, but wanted to.

Shame. What was the problem with the TTP trackday out of interest Jay? Obviously I had no frame of reference, so I don't know if it was good/bad.

The breafing was a pile of C*ap, and there was an extreamly slow rider in inters who should have been moved down (IMHO)

The briefing wasn't so bad, they're all boring when you've heard it 15+ times before.

I've only done two trackdays before and that was with the ESS so will be interesting to see what the other companies are like, though I've heard they're not a touch on the ESS Neutral

Was really looking forward to the endurance racing in November aswell Sad

Hopefully some of the other companies will pick up on that idea as there seemed to be a fair bit of interest.

Really quite upset about it, pace days were bloody good fun, clearly Jay isn't upset about it, afterall it means he doesn't have to go on track days which proves he is slow.

I may be slow, but i'm still faster than you shaun! Laughing
