Strange that this event is still going ahead. Most countries have strict quarantine rules for people who return from France.

Riders like Katt and Hansen already posted their mixed feelings on their social media accounts.

Fair enough but how long are real long tracks

Back in the day, they were called "1,000 metre" tracks, but I don't know if that was a minimum size or not...

Yeah, back in the day when it was a one off World Final in "longtrack" and there were some proper top stars of shale sport competing, it was always on genuine long tracks, at least as far as I can recall.

Once it moved to a GP style series all sorts of weirdness seemed to happen. Grass tracks, sand tracks, speedway tracks...I guess that there just weren't enough proper 1,000m tracks in enough Countries to run a GP style series, but the FIM wanted one anyway. Before the GP days, it was pretty much Germany and Czechia that held the finals with the odd appearance of Denmark and Yugoslavia (Slovenia).

Still, the mention of a round at Rzeszow reminds me of the 2013 round there where Jonas Kylmakorpi did his best to turn a speedway track into a long track....


Gotta love his wide lines...and feel horrible for him when it all goes wrong on lap 4...

So the original West Ham track was a Long Track?. I always believed a long track had to be between 500 and 1,000m.. Seems I was wrong.
