22A Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 OK folks, a simple query. The British GP is always at the Mill Stad. In recent years we've hosted World Cup semi finals at Peterborough and King's Lynn and this year the Final itself will be staged in Manchester. What are the criteria for deciding which track hosts prestigious events; is it track length, ground capacity, ease of access for spectators, or a combination of such factors please?

What are the criteria for deciding which track hosts prestigious events; is it track length, ground capacity, ease of access for spectators, or a combination of such factors please? Not sure what the present criteria is but tracks had to conform to FIM track measurements (width in particular) of which there were/are just a few in Britain.

One main criteria of course is a track actually has to want to host a prestigious meeting.A lot just don't want to even if they meet other criteria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nicki Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The British GP is always at the Mill Stad. In recent years we've hosted World Cup semi finals at Peterborough and King's Lynn and this year the Final itself will be staged in Manchester. This year's British SGP will not be held at the Millennium Stadium, rather the Principality Stadium - which I believe is fairly close by and, the way things are going, I wouldn't hold my breath on the SWC being staged in Manchester - although it may be that it will be the new Grand Opening Meeting there - depending on the delivery and installation of track covers.

KIRKYLANE Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The World Cup semi and final are financed by those running the World Cup. They hire the stadium and are fully in charge So obviously they decide where they want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Coventry got the ELRC because its the last season at Brandon but also the track surface improved immensely last season. Of course it probably has the best facilities in the country apart from BV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
