one of clubs Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Why is the world champion not presented with a trophy after the final gp of the season?.A trophy is given out for the winner of a round but it seems there is not one for the wc to parade at his home track and further meetings etc.etc.Or have i missed it?

Paragon Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 They have always had a second presentation after the meeting presentation to give out the top three trophy's at the last gp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I can remember the first time my lad saw Rickardsson (was hooked after that) he was parading around Eastbourne before the Eastbourne/Poole meeting in the back of an open top car with the biggest trophy I've ever seen in my life!

I miss the silver wheel............Great Trophy, it had soul!! Not 100% sure, as I wasn't there to see him receive it, but I think that this is a photo of Tony with his trophy from last season. If I am right and this is the trophy that Tony received...what happened to the one that was used before the GP series. The one that guys like Penhall, Gundersen, Nielsen, Havvy, etc were given? That one can be seen here in a photo with Havvy. As for the wheel...blame Ivan Mauger for "stealing" that one!

KevH Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) The trophies shown in Rob and Henry's links are different - totally different shape apart from anything else. Edited April 17, 2006 by Kevin Hammond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 The trophies shown in Rob and Henry's links are different - totally different shape apart from anything else. I suspect that, unlike in the old days, BSI provide a unique trophy every year for the winner to keep. The old WC trophy always had to be handed back after a year.
