Humphrey Appleby Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) WHICH was bigger than that in Gorican for the SEC. But we have consistently questioned having a GP in Italy. Not in any way due to SS but there won't be one in Italy next year. Yes, but one is a World Championship round in a competition that's been running for nearly 20 years, whilst the other isn't and is in its first season in its current format. As for questioning whether there should be an Italian GP, well I guess BSI must now looking for an exit strategy...

racers and royals Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) ABOUT 99.9 per cent certain That was a post about Lonigo-the 0.1 % came in. Edited September 26, 2013 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 AT least I didn't say 100 per cent. Things have changed very recently. Lonigo was on the calendar. Now its not. No strategy required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No strategy required. Use to like Lonigo. Had great times spending week in Italy seeing sights before gp. Wonder if the winners bike front cover is still up in the local cafe i gave them a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Varenna at Lake Como. EDIT: Though you cant all come... What about Jouni's place on the lake in Finland?Looks wonderful as long as the weather is good.And if it isn't good,just retire to the sauna with a beer or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 When you look at the schedule I think it's too bad that there are no GPs at the Saturday of the third week of June, Like the Swedish GP or Copenhagen, since it in Sweden (not sure about DK and FIN) is a very big holiday where most people have 3½ days off from work and thus would be able to do a mini vacation without having to take out extra leave days. I don't know but I would guess that it would at least increase attendances to some extent in a Swedish or Danish GP, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that some sun, drinks, white mountain peaks and being away from home... aaahhhh When you look at the schedule I think it's too bad that there are no GPs at the Saturday of the third week of June, Like the Swedish GP or Copenhagen, since it in Sweden (not sure about DK and FIN) is a very big holiday where most people have 3½ days off from work and thus would be able to do a mini vacation without having to take out extra leave days. I don't know but I would guess that it would at least increase attendances to some extent in a Swedish or Danish GP, Would be a financial suicide to have a meeting in Finland during the midnight sun festival. Sure everyone has leave from work, no way they would spend it watching speedway and paying 50 euros for it.

I guess it's no difference with the SGP. Didn't Denmark have two consecutive fixture clashes with their nations footballers appearance in the World Cup Finals or more likely i think it may have been the European Championship Finals recently?

With the eventual lottery money (I WILL win someday) I'll buy that former hotel with the "indoor" harbour about 100 meters from Il Molo. That'll be the day when I'll start living my dream... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
