racers and royals Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) i took advantage of the easy jet sale and got a flight for £34,anyone that has been before got any tips on what or what not to do kinda thing regarding hotels tickets etc thanks My first bit of advice would be,take plenty of money with you-i don`t know if its just the pound/krone exchange rate but everything is approx double elsewhere. there is a fast rail service from the airport to Copenhagen city centre-although last time i went i couldnt understand the ticket system.To get to Parken one can catch the train to Osterport and then its a 10/15 min walk. To illustrate how expensive it is this year my 1st bend stadium ticket is £95 and a hotel room for 1 night(single) is £130 and that is for an average 4 star hotel in Copenhagen city centre-try www.booking.com they have some cheaper prices on their site now.

Rob B Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The exchange rate doesn't help either I remember going to Denmark few years ago and exchange was about 13 krone to the pound, now its 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creetingblue Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Try Hotel Absalon. It has a cheaper annex for those travelling on a budget, which has been fine for our trips there. It is about 2 mins away from the main train station, (near Tivoli gardens), where you can also catch the bus to the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Anyone know who the wild card is yet? Hasn't been announced yet but I would say its odds on that Nicolai Klindt will be selected due to age, current form and showed up well last year in the WTC Looks like Piotr Protasiewicz (#19) will be replacing Emil in Copenhagen with any other injuries being covered by Davey Watt (#20) Edited May 23, 2010 by T.N.T.

manchesterpaul Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Anyone know what the weather is gonna like for tonight ? It's speedway grand prix night so, with sunshine days either side of the event, expect tornado's, monsoons, hellfire and a little damnation thrown in too. Otherwise latest forecast is Saturday Clear. High: 22 °C . Wind SW 14 km/h . Saturday Night Scattered Clouds. Low: 12 °C . Wind NW 10 km/h . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) Very nice write up in the Copenhagen Post; '2010 FIM Dansk Metal Danish Speedway Grand Prix Danger, excitement, thrills, spills and entertainment; expect it all at this years Danish Speedway Grand Prix. Parken plays host again to one of the most skilled sports ever and whether youre a motorsport maniac or not, everyone is welcome at this breathtaking event. Never been to speedway? Dont worry, its simple to follow. Four riders keep turning left over four laps of an oval track and each race is over in less than a minute. Its simple not for the drivers though with a great deal of technique involved. They race 500cc single-geared machines with no brakes. Blink and you may just miss all the fun. The engines are single cylinder, fixed gear power units, fitted into the chassis of the bike frame horizontally and fuelled by methanol. The engine makes up the major weight of the bike as there are few other parts to the machine. They are not allowed to weigh less than 80kg. Copenhagen welcomes round number four of the speedway season, following last months event in Prague, Czech Republic. Danish rider Kenneth Bjerre leads the current championship standings despite an average performance in Prague. The rider from Esbjerg is joined by his fellow Danes, Nicki Pedersen and Hans Andersen, who are the elite in a long line of Danish stars of speedway. Last years race was won by Jason Crump from Australia, who will be on view again this time around. Some 28,000 tickets are available for this extraordinary event and demand is set to be high with six temporary tracks in place for the riders. Visitors come from far and wide from all over Europe and BSI Speedway managing director Paul Bellamy puts this down to the excellent work of Parken. The Grand Prix in Copenhagen has developed into one of our biggest events and we are looking forward to working with Parken, Wonderful Copenhagen, Dansk Metal and our Danish suppliers to ensure each year the event gets bigger and better for the fans, he says. The supporters - who come from across Denmark, Europe and the world year after year - make this event very special for everyone involved. One man who has been integral to the continued success of the grand prix at Parken is current FIM race director Ole Olsen. All six speedway tracks at Parken have been constructed under Olsens watchful eye and he, more than many, knows what it means to the riders to take part in such a big event under the floodlights of a national stadium. Parken creates its own unique atmosphere, the former three times world champion explains. As the stadium fills up with spectators, you can feel the excitement and anticipation building. As a rider, you feed off the fans and when a stadium is full you can hear them from inside your helmet and you automatically respond to that reception. It is a very special occasion for both riders and supporters and Im looking forward to being part of that experience again.' The FIM Danish Speedway Grand Prix is the largest single sporting event in the country and it has developed into a genuine Copenhagen event, broadcast to over 100 countries on TV.' It will live up to the hype won't it Edited June 5, 2010 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
