Joseq7 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I see on "t*cketmaster" that the tapes up time for the British SGP is listed as 19:00. Has the GB SGP reverted to 7pm from 5pm or is this just "t*cketmaster" not having a clue about speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 PROBABLY the latter ... will check Have checked ... no decision as yet but likely to stay at 6pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks Phil....you mean stay at 5PM I presume Since my post I've been emailing with a guy from BSI / IMG and his final response to my query regarding when they could confirm the start time for definite: "Unfortunately I couldn’t guess- but as a rough guide, we only announced the start time of the 2013 event around one month before the race." Credit to him for replying but his last statement isn't accurate is it? My recollection is that the earliest publicity material for the 2013 GB SGP confirmed that the start time would be staying at 17:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Credit to him for replying but his last statement isn't accurate is it? Is it some sort of disease unique to speedway that makes people thankful for any sort of customer service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Around 21st March 2013 was the date they announced the start time as I started the forum topic on that date. THAT probably had something to do with not knowing which TV company would be covering the GPs ... think the start time will be known earlier this time around.

PHILIPRISING Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 NO I don't ... believe they are still trying to get permission from the council to relax the noise restrictions and allow a later start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Bill Buckley of Western Springs is reported as being involved in a project to launch a universal midget car world championship. Races will take place in USA, Australia and New Zealand with a likelihood South Africa will also participate from 2015. In a press release, Western Springs is named as the main NZ centre involved. Is the cost of the transportation of drivers, crews, cars and equipment likely to have any impact on Springs' future budgeting for the Speedway GP after the 2014 season? Anyway, isn't 2014 the last Speedway GP for Springs under the current three year arrangement? www.speedcarworld.com.au/release.asp?NewsId=48170#.Uh-ZteCGklI Edited September 3, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 YES it is but Buckley now has an extension of his agreement with Auckland city officials to run motorsports at Western Springs and the speedway meeting comes at the end of the car season. Really depends on how long his love affair with the speedway event continues. Don't think money is a major issue for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'd say any of the Polish venues. It was Bydgoszcz this year and Leszno for 2010-2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
