Humphrey Appleby Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 So BSI don't pay the riders anything? AFAIK, BSI pay each of the regular riders a one-off participation fee at the start of the season, but the actual GP prize money is paid by the FIM (out of the money paid by BSI for the rights).

Ozrik Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I see, fairly standard payment for appearance arrangement, and i read somewhere BSI also pay some for travel etc. I hope they are paid well then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 TRAVEL money (in the form of air tickets) plus accommodation is provided for GPs in the southern hemisphere. All of these issues though, may be less of a concern with a one-off event, although I'm surprised that BSI think they can make it pay. IT'S the Etihad who think they can make it pay.

Joseq7 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I know this is the correct thread for this but does anyone know any details for the 2016 World Cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I know this is the correct thread for this but does anyone know any details for the 2016 World Cup? That`s a very good question- normally there are pretty sound rumours when the SWC is on about the following years venues. just wonder if they are hanging on for confirmation that the stadium building is on schedule before awarding the race off and final to Belle vue`s new stadium-in which case Poland would surely get a round with Sweden or Denmark getting the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to have the SGP WC back in the UK. I really enjoyed previous events at Poole and the very hairy very wet FIVE rider per race event at Peterborough.

screm Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 It would be great to have the SGP WC back in the UK. If only to se Team GB in a Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eglese 19 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Assumably they have to keep moving it around with the hosts now automatically qualifying, have to be back in the UK sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eglese 19 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Was going to say is that in place of Tampere. Whilst I'm disappointed I won't have a home GP next year I'm not exactly going to miss the Finnish GP. Out of interest, as they usually 'agree' 3 year deals etc, how do they break them?

Humphrey Appleby Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Out of interest, as they usually 'agree' 3 year deals etc, how do they break them? Mutual consent possibly? Both parties agree the track is crap, not conducive to a good GP, and crowds have not met expectations. Both sides cut their losses and walk away. Could also be certain get-out clauses in the contract. Edited July 21, 2015 by Humphrey Appleby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they there isn't even any stands on this track? Yeah the place is quite dreary. There is a little stand at the homestraight (shown on maps). Edit: I was there in 2013, and took his panorama shot: https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/997999_10151489160201428_1244952359_n.jpg?oh=549d61a7993657da0a7468de6560c08e&oe=564B74F1 Edit 2: Photo from a local newspaper confirming the news: https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11760145_406106036246447_25670604936720950_n.jpg?oh=bf8a537eab68b9a3bdd36eb457cbe929&oe=561A2AF0 Edited July 21, 2015 by DutchGrasstrack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
