oleoleole Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Apologies if I have missed it but have there been any results of the inquiry/investigation in to the shambles we witnessed in Warsaw? Or am I too naive to expect such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Google translation of Sportowefakty article Polish Motor Union does not want to further cooperation with Ole Olsen. If the BSI, the organizer of Grand Prix will not allow another company to build the track, this competition at the National Stadium will not take place.

The was some confusion about that statement as it was from Ciegelski and not directly from PZM according to the comments section underneath the report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleoleole Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 From the SGP website on 22nd April 2015 (thought I'd better add the year as this is going to be a long job!) "BSI Speedway would like to further update fans following the unfortunate events of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix (SGP) in Warsaw. A full investigation is underway and BSI Speedway is working with the FIM, the PZM and Speed Sport to understand all the issues that led to the curtailment of the Grand Prix. This investigation will focus on the track and the starting gate and we will update fans in due course." As a disgruntled fan I am STILL waiting for an update, "in due course!". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Google translation of Sportowefakty article published today One of Krakow companies in recent days received a reply from the Polish Motor Association on the request for payment regarding the Polish Grand Prix at the National Stadium.Polish Grand Prix will be long remembered as disastrously organized event. Recall that shortly after the event some fans decided to file a class action lawsuit. And although the president of the Polish Motor Association - Andrzej Witkowski assured the pages of a radio station that he cares about an amicable settling the case, however, some supporters represented by the law firm received no reply. It became the basis for the subsequent filing lawsuits against PZM.Among the lucky ones who received a response from the ASN should be firm KIM Group, which sent a letter to payment. In response, however, we read, among other things, that:PZM exercised due diligence by organizing the Grand Prix, and viewers are able to watch competitions at the National Stadium in safe conditions. The competition started, ran and ended with the emergence of the winner, in accordance with relevant regulations in this respect the FIM. In addition, there were also provided in the Grand Prix of additional events, ie. The farewell ceremony Mr. Tomasz Gollob cycle Speedway Grand Prix and the fireworks from the coast of Szczecin.Recall that the contest ended after three series starts in view of concerns about the health of athletes track and malfunctioning starting gate. Farewell Tomasz Gollob was far from solemn parting cycle GP. And it is these aspects emphasize the fans and the company demanding compensation from ASN. - Our office is preparing a lawsuit because the arrogance of these people is too high. We bought 50 tickets including 6 pcs VIP and wanted a refund or tickets for next year's GP. Obviously, the answer was negative - said Krzysztof Gawel from the company KIM Group.

oleoleole Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Well I've got my reply; "Thanks for your enquiry to the motorsports department regarding Speedway. There will be some further information regarding the Warsaw SGP following this week, so please do keep an eye out on the website and social media. Thanks again for your interest." A bit bland to say the least but confirms what DutchGrasstrack said. We shall see.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Central Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) The polish equivalent of Baldrick at the PZM must have exclaimed ' I have a cunning plan '. One which Mr Blackadder at BSI should have heard with great scepticism. Of course, it could be quite a 'cute' solution to offer a freebie to an extra, totally irrelevant, meeting Last year they could not get the track right enough for the riders to complete a dozen races. The practice session itself being judged by some to be a contributor to the problems. The Sunday restaging date being pointless then. Next year they plan to run forty races or more. So good luck with that. I'm off to to book my flights ... This deal sounds so totally foolproof, it would be daft to miss it. .

oleoleole Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 All very nice but as expected no result of the enquiry as promised to the fans. Yet another speedway scandal just swept under the carpet. Well I for one will not be conned again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
