ColinMills Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Britain may be struggling domestically, with such awful leagues and stupid rules, but hand Britain a top class professional showpiece, and Britain will STILL deliver a crowd that challenge any country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issue with Russia getting a GP / SON but why race in the middle of nowhere, an hour in a taxi from a small provincial airport, that gives the huge majority of fans little of no chance of attending. Moscow would be fine as you can get there by direct flight. Togliatti is a rubbish track too. Edited October 10, 2018 by Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget £108 for a visa just for the privilege of stepping in the country and a visit to the Russian Embassy in either London or Edinburgh to facilitate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like speedway in Scandinavia has finally found its level, speedway in a field miles from anywhere. How many stadia GP's have come and gone in Scandinavia, 7 by my maths I think. Was hoping to do Horsens next year but that ship seems to have sailed. Still don't know how anywhere in Australia can be viable without a major benefactor which has historically shown to be a short term arrangement, Edited October 10, 2018 by iwright71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also flown to Zagreb the Croatian capital and gone by train to krsko. most people stay at Terme catz a few miles from Krsko. Trieste in Italy- near the slovenian border is another airport i have used for krsko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest you to fly to Zagreb and hire a car because train conection with Krsko is not so good and then you can stay as R&R said in Terme Catez or Terme Paradiso. Both, Catez and Paradiso are 15 minutes from Krsko. If you fly to Ljubljana you can also stay in Ljubljana. With a car it's an hour drive to Krsko. You can also go with a train (1h50m) but you will have to run from stadium after the race to catcht it. Krsko is near a highway so it's easy to get to, either from Zagreb or Ljubljana.

Vienna is not so far either, I used to fly to Vienna and drive from there. A little more expensive to rent a car but a nice city to visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
