The Sprint Race Debate
IainB replied to False dawn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I'm not totally against the idea just the way in which they've decided to organise it currently. It's all a bit too slap dash to me, timing doesn't start until the pit gate closes, no timer Countdown shown on screen, lap times take about 10 seconds to appear, if they appear at all. I like the head to head aspect of it, it being almost held behind closed doors is not good. It could be so much more with a bit of thought and effort. Maybe a serious of 1 lap head to head dashes from the gate, culminating in a 4 rider 1 lap dash to finish? At the moment there's nothing "sprint" about it. -

To take a positive on that at least we'd all know the situation with the easy to understand, simple 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 scoring, rather than sorting around with our calculators potentially waiting for @racers and royals to tell us all who the World Champion is! But on the whole, to run these events in almost empty stadiums with coverage tucked away on red button channels is and has been a bit of a farce. -

100% agree about foreign riders learning the language of those they take the money from... equally I think a 6 time "World" Champion should make an effort to communicate with those outside of his fome country. He seems to have been a bit more willing this year to be fair to him, how much of that is down to Mayfield though I don't know, it does seem a bit of a coincidence though that as soon as they took over we're seeing a bit more of him... he's been motorsports best kept secret these last 7 or 8 years.
