Ghostwalker Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Allowed 2 night break in Europe with best mate for a Gp next summer. Top tips please. what are your preferences when it comes to racing quality, stadium facilities, cost level, what you require of the surrounding area and etc..? Finest cities are IMO Copenhagen, Stockholm and Prague although the two first ones can be quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Prague is the nicest of the GP cities, although it's getting a bit overpriced and touristic these days. Prefer Stockholm to Copenhagen personally, but you pays your money... Riga might a good outside bet if it comes off - nice city, still relatively cheap, although the 'stadium' would seem to be a shocker.

DutchGrasstrack Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Come to Torun, nice city, cheap and and the best speedway stadium there is :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I would think it is hard to beat Prague as a place to enjoy a couple of nights,although the speedway is usually poor.If the G is just an excuse then Prague is the place to get away to and you could just be lucky and the track improvements that have been promised for the last 3-5 years really might actually happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 For pure racing I think Bydgoszcz would be hard to beat,Im going to the Czech GP in Prague next May.Had lots of good reports about the city,lets hope the racing matches up to the venue.

iris123 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Imo,if i remember correctly the last one or two GPs held at Bydgoszcz were disappointing.Have to hope they can deliver something to match their reputation this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money approximately 1K, hot weather, thriving (strip club etc) night life and somewhere historical so can have a good exploration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to 15 gps all through Europe and Byd last April was the best racing I have ever seen. Torun is a fantastic track and a very nice place to visit too. Prague is very nice but the track doesn't provide very good racing. For a mix of great racing and a great time out after Torun would be the pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhproductions Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Money approximately 1K, hot weather, thriving (strip club etc) night life and somewhere historical so can have a good exploration. I can't speak for the other European GP's but what I would say is I've been to GP's in Bydgoszcz twice, Torun twice and Leszno twice and the Polish GP weekend's never disappoint. Great value for money. On the whole great weather believe it or not (was 33 degrees in Torun one year), lot's of culture to see in places like Torun, Cheap Hotels, cheap beer & meals and yes there is a strip club there too. :-) Couldn't recommend a trip to Poland highly enough! I usually spend £150 - £250 in a weekend, so reasonable I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
