Haza Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Looking at the video it looks far from being a GP venue to me with 3 weeks to go to race day - makes Bydgoszcz stadium look good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.B Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Does anybody have any advice on the best way to get from Riga centre to the stadium. It looks a little way out of town. Thanks if anybody can help. If You are in the Centre (Railway Station Square) the best going to 14 or 18 trolley. maybe 5 or 21 bus initial stop 14 troll - Esplanade (near Milda) 18 troll and 21 bus- Merkela street (near Railway station, circus) 5 bus - Railway station (near Origo) Final stop 14 ,18 troll and 5 bus - Eizensteina street 21 bus - Pansionats Better buy tickets in Narvesen - 0.6 euro on each travel or 1 euro if You pay in transport If You take taxi - please speak - Bikernieki track https://www.rigassatiksme.lv/en/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thanks r&r. Actually looks quite impressive tbf. Certainly looks like a nice wide track. They have 2 weeks to put the floodlights in-so they better get on with it-just a bit worried that there doesn`t appear to be any banking on the track, and I`m hoping it isn`t a gate and go raceway.

OveFundinFan Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Last photos I saw it was a tip, now looks quiet good. Dont know who those racers were, but it got a bit strung out after 1 lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Looks narrow coming into the home straight off turn 4. Looks like the fence comes in before going out again turn 1? Edited August 4, 2014 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebedevs is great talent and I think if he can peak his form, I think he will be able to stir it up pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Flying out tomorrow expecting the worse, I'm not usually pessimistic about new tracks but this one could be flat and boring, I sincerely hope I'm wrong (I usually am). A friend was at the track earlier, he said there was some concern that the first bend was a bit soft, so they were digging it up a bit. As for the winner, when It's a track no one has seen before, my money is always on Greg. Edited August 15, 2014 by spanner47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 AFTER the delights of Daugavpils (!) and a hotel where you had to order a breakfast omelette a week in advance, Riga and especially the huge Radisson Latvija hotel is a delight. Shame about the weather, though ... rain forecast throughout the afternoon and for much of tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
