I doubt any of the regular tracks in Finland are capable of handling a GP.

I asked because my thinking was that the whole idea was big crowds so we put up with the temporary tracks, seeing the crowd here would it not be better perhaps to concentrate on the the racing with a decent track

A totally sensible comment. which those running the whole shambles will totally ignore, i'm afraid.

What capability would they lack, that this place has?

 

They are of very low standard. See for yourself :

Tell me which of these that are suitable to host a Speedway Grand Prix?

 

I have not been able to locate any pics or videos of the track in Lahti/Pippo but you can watch it on google maps:

Also obviously footage is a few years old so it is possible that some tracks have been upgraded but I don't know

however F-S-P should be able to give a definite answer.

Thanks for that.

 

You are quite right.

None of them have the apparently essential banks of unused red plastic seats.

 

A few of the tracks looked quite good, though.

But it would be silly to consider that in discussing 'suitability'.
