Bald Bloke Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Could it be said that the sealed GTR is great on small tracks and not got the bhp on the bigger ones.Just a thought..FL has a tuned one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Adam Ellis looked to be back on a GM tonight at Wolves based on a photo on Speedway GB site. Temporary or has he ditched the GTR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnboy Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 apparently testing one, and used it in heat 15 at the weekend Interesting 🤔 If Pedersen starts getting them to work along side Freddie I think their will be a few more top riders jump in the GTR wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 said in the speedway star that kelsey dugard is on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Some of the top boys must be a bit concerned as they can see how Freddie has helped with the development and looking so fast and balanced on the bike but are rather tied in with GM and respective tuners? If you have a sponsorship with GM would that equate to being more financially viable despite the tuning and maintenence costs as opposed to the cheaper to run GTR? Or would they be able to gain a GTR sponsorship? Just wonder how the deal Lindgren has works with Marcel?? PJR riders in the GP are sponsored ,in the early days of supermarkets it was called a loss leader , you give stuff away to a few high profile people and rob all the lower profile people to pay for it and then some .

speedibee Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Interesting If Pedersen starts getting them to work along side Freddie I think their will be a few more top riders jump in the GTR wagon Unfortunately ,Pedersen is likely to do more harm than good for the GTR cause , he's had his day but still got quite a high profile , so Nicki's lack of performance will get blamed on the GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbsjoe Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nicki has had issues with his engines for about the last 3 years now. has never really looked quick during that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST GATER Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Nicki has had issues with his engines for about the last 3 years now. has never really looked quick during that time. I think that this will be his final year in the GP's he has had a very serious injury just isn't looking like the rider he was and Hancock just looks like things are starting to get away from him I think that evolution is taking it's course no one can go on for ever sadly.

I was starting to think that after the last GP. Knowing Hancock though - he will probably come good again.

Bald Bloke Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Not good adverts for the engine though Agree.Clearly the standard unit ,which is deffo not what Freddie is riding. I know it will take time for set ups etc but I bet Freddies ain't got the same service interval as the sealed unit.

IronScorpion Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 They will be sealed straight from the factory. Otherwise, how do the machine examiners know if they have been tampered with for British Racing. NO TAG, NO RACING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just going to be sealed units if they rolled it out across the league, not the odd rider here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think the ones that have been bought through the BSPA are sealed but like Freddies and others who have had if previously/bought it full price were unsealed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
