Torun 2012


Recommended Posts

As the British Gp next year is on the Torun GP date for this year due to the Olympics. What happens to the Torun Gp as Poland and the Ukraine are hosting the European football championships in May - July?

Is this going to be moved to April or September?

 

Thoughts please?

The Euro 2012 tournament only runs from 11th June - 1st July, so there is plenty of time in for the Torun GP. I am guessing it will swap places with Cardiff and revert to the date of the 1st staging, which would be June 25th or something. However IF the GP's expand, which is looking possible (New Zealand, Austrailia & Russia have all been in talks) then we could fine a condensed european GP circuit. So, who knows then?

You could be right. I didn't realise the Euro footy tournament ended 1st July. Allowing for the SWC, the 14th July or 23 / 30 June 12 would be a good bet!

I do hope the keep the Torun GP. The facilities are excellent!

I hope it's next year on too, as you say the Stadium is mint.

 

Only down point for me was the lack of alcohol once inside the actual stadium, but to be fair, we all know the score when going to Poland about alcohol in stadiums! Torun is such a beautiful place. I want to go next year again if it's on.

 

They would be stupid to do away with it as it really is a showpiece venue for Speedway in general, but money talks I suppose.

The SWC is being held in Sweden in 2012. :wink:

I mean the dates of the 2-3 week period around the end of June to mid July is normally reserved for the SWC.

 

23 June would be my bet for the date.

Get yourself to Torun, it's the most beautiful place. As for food drink it is dirt cheap. Beers in the Rynek (Main Sq) were between 5 - 8 PLN (£1 - £1.60ish) Food is cheap too I had a huge pizza in one cafe that was lovely, for about £4! Also, we stayed in the Etap hotel which was only £20 a night! nice place. Basic rooms, however free wifi!

 

At the stadium there is a fan park outside (or at least last time there was, not sure about next year as it's the last gp in colder climate) and beers there were 6PLN and a big juicy spicy Kielbasa was 15PLN. Inside the stadium it was slighly more expensive but marginal, unfortunately NO alcohol in there at all due to odd polish licensing laws, only alcohol free beer which was about 8PLN for a 500ml bottle!

 

Hope that helps.

 

Feel free to ask any more.................
