racers and royals Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 BSI/IMG might hold a competition to think of a name for this GP. Bydgoszcz is the Polish and Leszno is the European and Torun ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) BSI/IMG might hold a competition to think of a name for this GP. Bydgoszcz is the Polish and Leszno is the European and Torun ??? Well Perhaps the Pommeranian GP? or The Baltic GP? (although Poland normally dont count as a part of the Baltic a reference can be used the Poland as a country By the Baltic Sea) In MotoGP Spain have three GPs; Spanish Gp, Valencia GP and Catalan GP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuyavian-Pomeranian_Voivodeship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomerania Edited October 8, 2009 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Jasper Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think there is a case for a second gp in the UK Cardiff gets the biggest crowd of the year, The UK is a big market for speedway , certainly be better than going to Italy....

orion Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 First of all what great place to have a gp top track and staduim ....trouble is thou there are NOW two may gp's and now two many in Poland . At the end of the day first and for most it is a world championship event and thou i don't mind people mking money i fear that it's gone to far to the money side having 3 or 4 gp's in Poland is just to much of an a advantage to the home riders .

Why don't we just move all the events to Poland and rename the series to the Polish championships, then they can keep their biased referees and oversized engines to themselves.

Mama Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm also not to happy to have 3 GPs in Poland but it's just business for BSI people ... If any of British/Swedish/Danish GPs was sold out more than week before the meeting? And this year Bydgoszcz GP yes! (last years it was sold out at the meeting's days) The Leszno stadium was full too (especially last year). Small Toruń's stadium will be full also for sure! BTW - we'll have: - Polish GP in Bydgoszcz - European GP in Leszno - Teutonic (father Rydzyk) GP in Toruń net year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyke Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Torun Fantastic have a customer there, guess who's picking my bill up for next year's trip ! All we need now is a GP in Las Vegas and I can put that one on expenses too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyderd Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Cardiff is a great place for a GP, but must cost a small fortune to rent the stadium and construct a temporary track. I wonder if the GP promotors have given a thought into investing some dosh into the new venture at leicester, surely by not having to pay to construct the track every year then their initial outlay will pay for itself after a few years.

austrian hammer Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's harsh of the organisers to say that there wouldn't be another GP in Britain as Cardiff doesn't sell out...please.....The capacity at the Millenium stadium is approaching 70,00..it still draws the biggest attendance of all the Gp's. Bydgoscz sells out, fair play...but their capacity is approx 20,000 less than a third of Cardiff. There would be ample support for another GP in the UK, given that there will be 3 in Poland, are 2 already in Sweden, and this year were also 2 in Denmark. Coventry or Peterborough would be fine as venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about finding mug...erm promoters willing to stage a GP. Presumably the majority of promoters in Britain have got better things to do with their time and money, and although I suspect there's a degree of BSI wanting to keep the Cardiff GP somewhat exclusive as their 'flagship'. How many GPs do people want anyway? There are already far too many, and from what I'm reading, the racing is pretty boring at most/all of them.
