Ice Racing 2011

[Conkers]

Too be honest it's really quite humiliating, i can't think of another 'organized' sport in the world that would lack a filmed record of it's World Final.

 

 

I am led to believe that BSI/IMG own the TV rights to World Championship Track Sport coverage (Speedway/Long Track/Ice Racing) as the FIM sold them in a package a few years back. The previous owner was a German company who did have a deal with Eurosport but it fell through, as one of the consortium was Thomas Schiffner who was involved with Bahnsport Aktuell.

But you are right about the lack of exposure for this sport.

The Assen club did record the meetings using Broadcast standard equipment for Dutch TV and there are two excellent quality DVDs available from them, but they are the only ones I know of.

Polish TV did show the Sanok QR round live and there are a couple of bootleg DVDs doing the rounds of that coverage.

With the right push, I'm sure The Ice Racing World Championship could attract the sort of audience of Speedway fans desperate for their winter fix on Sky.

Thanks for detailed info once more Conkers, you're one of an elite core of valued 'correspondents' in the international section.

This meeting ended in farce. The ice had broken up so badly that they couldn't run the finals. So the points were awarded on countback where there were ties. The Russian Forums are rife with enraged fans who think that Togliatti shouldn't be allowed a big meeting again.

Top 3 to the final at Kemertau next weekend

Edited February 21, 2011 by Conkers

[MARK246]

 

 

Seppänen messed his gating twice and was forced to battle from the back. third time he nailed it and lead Järf for a lap. Malinen was also good, clear second.

 

Jouni Seppänen had problems with his clutch basket in Övik during the Swedish league meeting. It's good to see he was able to repair it in time for the Finnish final.

[Conkers]

Friday night at Assen should be good with four National Champions doing battle: Koltakov, Divis, Strugala and now Mallinen!

 

Only a couple of weeks to go!

Like mentioned, some mistakes in my list. A poor start to the season on my part. Not gonna offer any excuses though, I have a few good ones saved but I'll save them for speedway.

 

Maybe these (corrected results) will find their way to sportowefakty also...

I believe there may be live updates from Jacqueline on the German Speedway Forum

 

Bauer is defending his title, but isn't riding in the Team Championship at weekend, so the German fans are predicting dire results for the home side this weekend
