To hell with a MotoGP track in Wales. What Wales (and the whole of the UK) needs is road racing!


Not sure about that, real Road racing is restricted to, relatively, difficult to get to places in the UK and Ireland, consequently ChavscumBykelifeMcfuckwits don't attend!
They would however be attending any, (insert location of your choice), road races. There will also be an army of nimbys hell bent on disrupting the events!
Despite what the politicians said it'll never happen, too many hand wringers, kitten protectionists and chavscum will ensure it, which, IMO, won't necessarily be a bad thing!


Yeah the A64 to Scarborough can be a right sod in summer!

A wild investor appears. Still more than Rainpal has revealed.

Taffy.gov has been caught lying about being surprised by the report that they commissioned. Rolling Eyes

Seeing as that is in Wales is that a field of slow moving sheep?

Aston Martin fell for it too, are relocating to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, and are of course now demanding that Taffy taxpayers pay for their gullibility.

To be fair, having some potential customers nearby is actually what the Cash CoW needs, which begs the question of why they've kept so quiet about it up to now.

Companies are quick to jump on-board with these projects but even quicker to jump ship when they actually happen.

The civil servants involved in this debacle are now directly sodding off taffy.gov and refusing to show up and explain their decisions.

Don't they work for taffy.gov? How bad must it be if they're just flat out refusing to incriminate themselves? Drooling

Given the Aarons® style promises being made by Carrick, I smell a few law sueweeeets in the air. Might be a few more drops to be milked from this lolCoW yet. Drooling

Oh fuckin crap! No race circuit, but beer prices may go up. Typical fuckin British government mindset. To become an MP, you need at least 5 years experience in a muppet asylum. Plus you will need an actual mental health qualification such as Schizo type 2 or somethin.

Aviva making noises about going it alone (well, with SouKor dollah).

Good, I wish them the best of luck. Get on with it, if you think it's going to be such a whopping success.

"According to the Welsh Government, HoTVDC has spent £55m on the project to date"

On what? CGI? Even Rainpal® hasn't burned through that much. Laughing

Michael "£35K administrative oversight" Carrick accuses Welch.gov of being "misleading". Shocked

That's like the Adam Aarronses® accusing BCF of being a scam. Laughing

Cash Cow issues 3000 words of bleating about "being misled".

This is the lot who were lying to investors and politicians that BMW and BT were gagging to build stuff at the site, remember. Rolling Eyes

Cash CoW blunder on: Never give up, never surrender.


Say, how much would have been creamed as profit by the shareholders? Oh, £73 million, you say? £46 million just by Carrick and Mrs Carrick themselves?

£2.5 million of that "is outstanding payments owed to Aventa [a consultancy firm] which is 100% owned by MC [Michael Carrick]".

So, he's billed himself another £2.5 million for providing consultancy services to himself. Clapping

If Carrick actually believed in this project as much he keeps professing, he'd walk away from it now and let someone credible run it.

Carrick's habit of billing himself for advising himself does have a strong feel of "Team Rainpal®" to it.
