tomazpozrl Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Slovenian photographer Borut Cvetko was in Togliatti in early November (during the UEM meeting) and took some pictures of new speedway stadium there. Stadium capacity is 15.000. It looks really great with swimming pool, saunas, fitness, solarium ... every rider also has it's own appartment etc. Russians are also planning to start a speedway school in the stadium and they have already bought 50 80cc bikes for the kids. I've been told that Russians (Mega Lada Togliatti) are planning to stage European individual final in 2009 and are hoping to stage one of the rounds of Grand Prix series in 2010.

iris123 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Looks very professional,even got their own workshops.Reminicent of the British teams from the 1930s.I guess this is where Togliatti are holding Ice Racing as well.Having got the Khomitsevitch and Ivanov brothers from Kamensk-Uralski.They couldn't get a place in the top Russian league,so are competing in the 2nd league and the junior championships. As i posted and f-s-p also there have been strong rumours for more than a year about them hosting the GPs in this stadium. Very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facilities must be the best in the world for a speedway stadium. Look forward to having a big event there and just might take a little trip across.

Subedei Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Certainly is impressive. Rather like the Pavlic effort in Croatia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niklos Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Very, very impressive. I wonder how much it cost to build? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> approximately 40 million dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Wow that is impressive! It looks very similar to one the Cradley Heathens have planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 That is a dead spit of the Norfolk Arena Hope the Chapman’s have their solicitors on the case Fair play to the Rusty's. If there gonna create more stadia like that along with the larger stadiums in Poland we may struggle to hold on to riders in our own league.
