Thanks Ghost. it's on the southern east coast. https://www.google.com/maps/place/V%C3%A4stervik,+Sverige/@57.9500424,16.2071823,8.46z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x465842418a72d1d9:0x66d4694b77bbf5ba!8m2!3d57.7577156!4d16.6369759 I think flying to Nyköping-Skavsta would be the most suitable but then it is another 4 hour journey by bus or train from the airport to Västervik. Track is pretty descent, the track have improved since they re-laid it for this season, Edited September 28, 2016 by Ghostwalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess anywhere in Sweden is in the middle of nowhere but why put a big fixture at a track that the public find hard to travel to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 thanks. I guess anywhere in Sweden is in the middle of nowhere but why put a big fixture at a track that the public find hard to travel to ? Not hard for the speedway fans who live in the region. 2 hours by car from speedway cities like Norrköping and Motala and even less for most of the speedway fans in Småland. I think the issue is that Skavsta airport and Nyköping city does not have that great connections since it is only served by Ryanair and Wizzair. It is only a 2 hour drive by car from Skavsta to Västervik. You could fly to Arlanda instead and it will hardly take longer time to get to Västervik by public transport then from Skavsta.

BFMDan Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I don't know if we could scrape up a big enough crowd to make it a monetary success . . . but, YES PLEASE!! Slight tangential thought . . . some of the Mile Flattrack races (Springfield, for example) do present HUGE crowds - Springfield 2 this September was a packed house! So, the potential does exist . . . HB Greg to win title number 4 this year and to start his defence in Los Angeles in what will be his final year in GP, before retiring?.
