bigcatdiary Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 They just cannot help themselves can they. So basically you could win your first 5 races score 20 points suffer an engine failure or get taken off and hurt in the semi and get awarded 9 GP points. It’s like the superheat, What plonkers keep thinking this crap up. How about some that will actually increase paying spectators like tracks that are set up for racing instead of trapping competitions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bit confused when I read it, and do not have Discovery+ to see it for real. But is it not just the same format they introduced before Covid intervened, except not on a Friday night and without letting you practice before approaching the start line? It is a shame the horrible championship points system has been retained. I wish they had gone back to double points in the final, retaining points scores is a much fairer reflection of a rider's performance while ensuring the double points ensures the importance og winning G.P.s when chasing the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s an amended qualification - before they had free practice to determine the order for the shoot out(1 rider on track at time) which determined draw order. Now it’s an extended frr practice format with fatest times from the 3 goes on track counting for draw order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while, it was done via the SGP website, and then switched to YouTube, so I have no reason to suspect that we would be deprived of it this year.

eric i Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 BREAKING NEWS!!!! There has been civil unrest on the streets of Moscow with protesters reportedly chanting 'bring back Laguta', as result Vladimir Putin has ordered a full withdrawal of his army out of Ukraine. With the War over, the FIM has been handed the noble peace prize for their crushing blow to the Putin regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 History will look kindly on speedway. Though you would have thought it more likely that Russia and Russian clubs being suspended from FIFA and UEFA competition, or from IIHF competitions, or their athletes being suspended by the IOC and World Athletics Council, or the actions of various other sports would have had that affect. How different the world would have been if only Archduke Ferdinand had been a speedway fan (arguably before it had even been invented).

racers and royals Posted May 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Just watched last nights Eurosport Gorican GP highlights show, and it was far better than previous Eurosport highlight efforts. Dave Rowe hosted it(off camera ) and commentated on the races and did a great job. The majority of the races were shown. Well worth watching if repeated over the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 After 2 rounds, need to scrap qualifing for 2023. Absolutely pointless & boring viewing. Just do round 1 riding order as an 'out the hat' draw then every round after that should be defined by the reverse finishing order of the previous round. 15th = 1st pick, 14th = 2nd & so on. 16th (Wildcard) just gets the remaining slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant idea. The draw could even be done as part of the GP aftershow. Like a trailer for the next round. Interview each rider about their performance on the night and then ask them to pick their 1 to 16 position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically that means it is the same as last year's SEC, where those of use who pay for Eurosport as part of a TV package will not be able to watch unless we pay them twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
