Steve Shovlar Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 HAVE enquired of Ole Olsen whether there is sufficient room at the Principality Stadium to replicate the Warsaw track but sadly there isn't. Then why not have a slightly scaled down version? If there is less room, and he knows the measurements of both areas, its a simple maths equation. If the Cardiff space is 7% smaller, reduce the measurements by 7%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Been there for the last 3 GP's, the atophere is great and there nothing like watching it live. However we staying at home this year, doing the SWC at BV instead plus going away for a few days to Yorkshire with the money saved not going to Cardiff. Will still see it on BT Sports Hard to beat Yorkshire at any time of year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track last year at Cardiff was good Phil so no need to worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Re Cardiff v Warsaw. I thought if they pulled the straights in at Cardiff that would make the turns tighter but wider - meaning different lines on the corners available. The track though would be shorter if they measure on the white line or metre from white line, whatever it will be shorter and therefore may not meet FIM standards. Edit - added "may" near the end of last sentence. Edited May 19, 2016 by Joe Hatton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Track last year at Cardiff was good Phil so no need to worry! AGREED but think the shape of the tracks in Melbourne and Warsaw presented more racing lines. Glad you enjoyed Warsaw ... long time to come from New York for an episode like last year. Wonder if anyone travels further to SGPs than you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm sure I was trumped by people who headed to Melbourne last year. Perfect record at Cardiff so far tho , hoping it long continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 You will like the city, make sure you get to the quay area, really nicely presented, the stadium is great, and the racing can be good too. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Phil, can the straights be brought in, with bends being reshaped so different lines available. Would changes like that infringe FIM track regulations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would changes like that infringe FIM track regulations? DON'T know to be honest. I do know that BSI and Ole are looking at every possibility of making the most of what space is available at the Principality but the floor area is smaller than in Melbourne and Warsaw.
