Rob B Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I thought they were only putting temporary tracks in stadiums with roofs now? I was one of the unlucky ones there when it was called off after a few heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully all the previous problems will have been ironed out.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm confident the series wouldn't be heading back to Ullevi unless strong guarantees have been given against all that went wrong the last time.

Rob B Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 How can they guarantee its not going to rain though? Temporary tracks can't cope with the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverstam Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 How can they guarantee its not going to rain though? Temporary tracks can't cope with the rain. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe semi-temporary tracks can. This one will be laid in November and finished in March, they say. So should be good in May. Ofcourse, no guarantee against torrential downpours but all tracks will struggle with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thought Ullevi was getting a new athletics track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 BSI Speedway, right holders of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix Series (SGP), and GotEvent, operators of Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg, have confirmed World Championship speedway will return to Sweden's national stadium in 2008, with a new semi-permanent speedway track being built as part of the deal. A three year contract has been signed by both parties and the 2008 FIM Swedish Speedway Grand Prix will take place at Ullevi on 24 May. Paul Bellamy, Managing Director, BSI Speedway commented: "The Series currently visits internationally renowned stadiums in Britain (Millennium Stadium), Denmark (PARKEN) and Germany (VELTINS-Arena) and we are delighted Ullevi stadium joins this growing list. "By installing a semi-permanent track, Ullevi stadium have shown how committed they are to the SGP Series. We have been working very closely not only with the stadium, but also FIM Race Director Ole Olsen and his track building team to ensure the surface prepared at the arena will be first class and we are looking forward to a great night of racing on 24 May 2008." Construction of the new track will start in November 2007, as Ullevi's Stadium Manager, Anders Albertsson, explained: "Plans are in place to start construction of the semi-permanent track in November this year. It will be ready and tested in Spring 2008 and will be used to stage speedway meetings leading up to the Grand Prix on 24 May. During the concert and athletic season (June - August) the shale will be temporarily stored and brought back to the stadium in early September each year when the track building will commence again. "Speedway has a long heritage at Ullevi and we hope this will continue for many years to come." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
