speedway stadium in Lodz, and Orzeł Łódź has already been offered to organize the Grand Prix on it in 2019! Promoters of the Grand Prix cycle can be blamed for many, but not that they do not know about politics and business. Divide and rule, and specifically divide and earn millions - this is a slogan that the English have been guiding for years in the negotiations regarding the organization of GP rounds in Polish cities.
On Sunday in Łódź the opening of a new stadium. Eagle as part of the Nice 1. LŻ match will be taken by Zdurka Wybrzeże Gdańsk. The facility is very similar to the Toruń Motoarena. It has only a smaller capacity of the stands (about 10,000).

The promoter of the Grand Prix cycle, a British company BSI, has already directed an offer to the Eagle for the organization of the Grand Prix tournament! Until now only Gorzów Wielkopolski and Wrocław have been in the fight for the organization of GP rounds since 2019. As it turns out, the promoter is too little competition. However, this is not the only reason to ask the Łódź activists. It is known that the potential of the stadium in Łódź was the first to use the promoters of the European championships, who are the biggest competitors of the English

I blame Brexit:P

LODZ just one of a number of Polish cities talking with BSI. Torun and Warsaw will continue ... possibly not Gorzow.

I went to the new slaski stadium 2 weeks ago, it’s a great stadium and Katowice is a fabulous modern city, could this be a new GP venue, be interesting to see how the euro meeting goes

Excellent that Lodz is interested.     The new stadium looks amazing.     And much easier for fans to get to Lodz than Gorzow.

DON'T have much trouble with Gorzow now ... just about all motorway from Berlin, which is not an expensive flight from London these days.

Isn’t that thanks to the EU?Remember plenty of road signs with EU flags on them probably saying the building of the road is funded by the EU.You should be made to pay a toll to use EU roads once you are out lol

Ipswich surely has to be a bad joke? 

And hilariously this is all supposed to depend on receiving funds from local government to finance the operation.

When you read up on the goings on with Ipswich Council .... 

I imagine that you could find the Burghers of Togliatti to be bastions of probity in comparision.

WHY, most of the money probably came from the UK in the first place.

Even aside from the funding, Ipswich is quite a small town with few facilities or things of touristic interest, and the venue itself is several miles away from Ipswich out in the countryside. There's no public transport there, I think only a junior speedway track currently exists, so presumably the plan would be to build a track on the infield of the motor racing circuit. However, the configuration of the stands would be terrible for viewing.

Isn't the plan for the Aussie GP to return in 2019, hopefully at Adelaide Showgrounds (with Ipswich still in the mix)?

ARTICLE in SS this week by our long-time Australian correspondent Peter White .... pessimistic rather than optimistic. Would require state funding. What might help is if New Zealand also come to the party. Two events on consecutive weeks would make a lot more sense. Rumour has it that now Bill has secured the future of Western Springs as a motorsport venue he could be open to the idea.
