GP round 8 Togliatti Russia Saturday August 28th live on BT Sport


Recommended Posts

Did they not check these camera positions..?

Too near the track and too high..?

Either way they dont dip down enough..

A mobile phone would have given better coverage...

The director obviously hasnt a clue that most races have one rider "foxtrot oscar" into the distance, with the other three then making "the race".. 

Salt mines surely for this guy...

Yet again, give some juniors a bunch of laps on the track before the meeting, and you can see how much better it would have been...

Why oh why do they not realise this? Virtually every GP we hear Peason and Tatum saying how the racing/track has improved in the latter stages of the meeting, the sport is run by a bunch of grade A Tossers.

More than frustrating, I've loved speedway since 1967 and have rarely missed a GP on tv, almost had enough tbh,  it's just sh1te.

I'm not sure if it's down to the modern machinery, but I don't recall it being this bad years ago. Yeah, the opening race used to be the best for track records - it was often TOO good - but the tracks seemed to settle down a lot quicker than they do now.

Don’t think it’s going to work this time.  It’s rubbish. Same for GP Challenge and SON final in past few years. It is after all an ice speedway track, long straights and they don’t broadslide.

BSI should consider Uganda and Antarctica for new SGP events... just to freshen it up ya know... They already choose some weird places like Togliati and Prague where there are like 300 ppl watching speedway coutrywide...

Obviously, some tracks are better than others, but the last few races have been a LOT better than the earlier ones, and at least they have been able to race in the second half.

I thought Castagna wanted Patagonia. Maybe some other places with an Italian link ? Abbysinnian GP ?
