A ORLOV Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Would have thought having over 40,000 bike fans stopping in the Melbourne area would be an advantage to the GP in terms of sales. Provisional date for next year at Phillip Island is 22nd October. You would have thought so but that did not seem to make much of an impact this year, from comments on here so far it seems that the GP was hardly advertised anywhere around Melbourne.

New Science Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think BSI should take the GP to Mexico. 130,000 fans have turned up today ( 300,000 over the weekend ) to watch nothing more than a procession in the formula 1. If they will watch that rubbish they will watch anything 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I agree with the above post. There is more excitement in one very good speedway gp race then in the whole of a F1 season. Mark Webber was at Melbourne speedway gp this year. Anyone get his thoughts on what he was watching??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark was coincidentally in Melbourne but he and his partner Anne are regular visitors when SGPs don't clash with his other commitments.

5 FURROW Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 ONE thing that I do know is holding up the complete calendar is a date for Melbourne. BSI have been waiting for Dorna to confirm their date for the Moto GP at Phillips Island, which they and the Etihad are keen to avoid which was not the case this year. It also has to be ratified by the FIM. So if thats the case why dont they release the rest of the dates Melbourne is only 1 GP it wont affect the other 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
