Why is Speedway great? One can see All the action as it happens (as opposed to F1, superbikes, even Footy!). It is all action, even FTG can be exciting as the riders are alway doing something, & it is fast action. I can't remember the rider, but when asked why speedway, he replied that it was an immense Adrenalin rush, etc., also it is SPRINTING ON A BIKE. That is it! 15 Motorised SPRINTS. ( that's how it should be sold 15 Sprints of £15; £1 a race! Sounds good). However that is also it's fault, I know of many who go for a few years, then get "bored" leave but often (if a track nearby), return after a few years. Why? So many races, one sees c200+ races per season, so after say 5 years one has seen 1000 races, so become a bit "saturated" & instead of being excited tend to think of FTG as dull, etc. I am NOT advocating less races of matches! But if more other entertainments or less gaps would improve the experience. Sprints on Bikes!

Polish Xtra/nice Leagues/etc Live On Tv
Icicle replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
In some ways I agree, atmosphere, efficiency, filming, pace of meeting all great. However, now having watched plenty from all the leagues (i.e. Brit., Pl, Russ, Dk, Sw.)(thanks R&R!)s I have come to the conclusion that the actual racing is little to no difference between them! All have, poor matches, the same % of FTG, "nearly " overtakes & great races. PL seems better due to crowds & good filming.But really all are much of a muchness when it comes down to the bare bones of racing. -
Good luck with speaker; Fan Power!!

Why are you all wasting energy on this imbecile? He is an embarrassment to all decent, sane people (especially Poles). -
