Smarttimes 2014 in England?
« on: April 02, 2013, 07:00:15 PM »

I have since received a secret information. The Smart Times 2014, take place well either in England or Denmark. England would in my view full Super :)
What do you say about this rumor?
If it were so, I hope that enough people in Lucerne vote for England  ;D

if England does get it it'll possibly be within the M25 area (London), don't mind if Denmark gets it. either way it'll be 3 coming instead of 2 if i can make it to whichever destination wins!

If they did have SmartTimes in England then it would be in place of the
Smart Festival that is held every year around September/October.

And yes...I do hope it will come to England one day soon...

I think you will find that the  dcision has already been made...but Smart will give everyone
the 'illusion' that the vote at the event will be what decides.

For instance, Lucerne was always going to win out for this year......why ? Because it is a market
that Smart have not got a foot/toe hold in, whereas Germany is already catered for and is a good
market for Smart. And they hope the 'eco-tistical' Swiss will buy the electric Smart.

So , I would lay 'odds on' that Denmark will be the chosen venue for Smart Times 2015.....
even if everyone at the 2013 event votes for England.

Woohoo! That makes one vote!

Although, I'm sure the team from S2 and Smartmods (if they go) would vote for Blighty.

Agreed, CrazyG. Lots of money in Denmark too. Plus smart already have a market (and an event) here as well...
Although I'd hasten to add that the whole brooklands set up means there's less effort on Smart's part. It's an ideal sorted venue.
Plus there's a hotel on site for them to all stay on. I think smart UK would be all too happy to drop the festival in order to have Smart Times.
Would it happen in the future? We can only wait and see. They've got to get around all the countries some time... Plus, the Electric Car market is expanding here, even Luton has started to have Electric parking spaces installed. I've noticed 4 new ones in the last week.
