speedmerchant Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Oh how far we've come since 2001. 8 years on and we've got still got 6 SGPs, plus now 3 repeats in repeat countries (European, Scandinavian, and now god help us Nordic !!), and just 2 new markets than those since 2001, those Speedway hotbeds of Slovenia (3 tracks only) and Latvia (just 1 track to its name) Just exactly what does the BSI Speedway business plan say ? Time to make less = more I think ! Edited November 14, 2008 by speedmerchant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 So does that mean a World Cup qualifier at Coventry again?! I know it only says GB (TBC) at the moment, but from what I understood Coventry was the only FIM rated stadium in the UK at the moment. If it is, I'm not sure I could cope with the same GB torture we had this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzman Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Vojens? Lunacy, BSI/IMG shoot themselves in the foot again. IMG Thought Process a) they wanted Australia, no-one wanted it there they wanted Russia, it wasn't workable c) Germany has gone wrong d) Right then Olly where else can we hold this extra GP?

What is this new GP to be called? In previous years we have had the second Swedish GP called the Scandinavian GP and the second Polish GP called the European GP.
