I did see that there would be a Grand Final and wondering what the point was....... From what Jesper wrote on his live updates, the title was decided on this race. hence the points scoring giving the winner more points than the others if his team mate finished last. But in Ice Racing, the Russians are not going to let that happen. It looks like they've taken a successful format and completely turned it on its head. If you look at it that there were 73 points on offer, and Russia took all of them...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yes the points on this Grand Final Heat decide the World Champion. I think this is quite cool because the this Final heat was absolutely amazing with Haarahiltunen giving everything. Now time to go home after three weeks in Kazakhstan and Russia. Great trip where we joined the Ebner team on a roadtrip from Almaty to Shadrinsk and finally to Togliatti. Amazing experience The roads in Kazahkstan are shocking though, from Almaty towards Astana.

DutchGrasstrack Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Stadium is too big for Ice speedway. I think the crowd was quite okay, think the same numbers are Shadrinsk. The BSI crew was also in Togliatti, hope they got a good impression of the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwantz34 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 It's a pity they've cut the FIM TV footage down to 26mins from the two days rather than 45ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I hate it when the oldies go on about the old days being better. But the modern ice speedway just does dont seem to excite me other the last decade, as much as it did when I was growing up in late 80s early 90s. I seem to recall tracks were a lot more choppy back then with riders bouncing all over and producing many incidents and over takes. Also seem to recall the Russians/soviets being slightly less dominant abiet slightly more scary too. Is this me just looking back with rose tinted glasses or has today's ice speedway become boring and predictable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you answered my question as I read it. Jurgen used to have her in the pits with him in the early 2000s when she was a baby before meetings. If she is half as good as her dad then she will do well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
