Ullevi Back As A Gptrack In 2008?


Recommended Posts

Rumours over here in Sweden says that Eskilstuna will not stage anymore gp after this year as the crowd was dissapoiting last year just over 8000.

 

Ullevi stadium is well know for the trackdisaster in 2003.

 

I personally thinks the GP will head for Gothenburg and the famous Ullevi Stadium.

Or maybe just a single GP for Sweden?

 

 

A single? Maybe.

 

I want the gps being raced at Stockholm Stadium and Ullevi Stadium.

Gps arent belonging in small cities as Målilla, Lonigo and Eskilstuna ( population 92,000 in Eskilstuna).

There won't be one at Stockholm again as they had a new running track installed.

 

I liked Gothenburg but the DFDS ferry doesn't go there anymore from Newcastle!

 

They had a new ath-track made for Ullevi too for the Athletics EC 2005? or 2006? Next summer they are hosting Monster Jam in Ullevi. So bye bye for the magnificent new track.

Is there a club side in Gothenburg ? have they a track that would do for a GP ?

How did things go so wrong 2003 ? I,m sure there were plenty of great meetings at Ullevi for years.

Maybe Kaparna's new track could do it, but the capacity would not be bigger than Eskilstuna or Målilla I believe. Arendal is a no go for a GP.

 

I think 2002 was the first GP and Kaparna did everything, and did it well. The next year Svemo decided that they would make the profit of it. They laid the track but saved in the materials (they just did not have the money to make it) and with the rain it was a disaster. 2004 everything was fine except the rain that resulted in moving the training from friday to saturday. Because it all seemed too iffy or doubtfull to happen only around 10k people turned up and it was another financial disaster.

 

Ullevi was also given the Euro Champs in athletics and they re-did the running track after 2004. Dont know how much that affected. I think some since Stockholm has not staged speedway after they re-did theirs after 2004?

Kaparna is a Gothenburg team racing at Arendal for its last year?

A new track are planned to be build outside Gothenburg at Säve but it lays maybe one year in the future or more. The money to build the track is not there and then it has been complains from some citizens so Kaparna is having a hardtime, but it is almost as usual in Kaparna.
