It is a view. An opinion. That’s all. Not a statement of fact. You have a different opinion apparently, and you are absolutely entitled to that. We differ. No problem. Move on. No need to be rude. 21 hours ago, racers and royals said: You are at it again- European pairs is of consequence to FIM Europe which includes GB.

One of course have to have a track willing to stage an event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, BSPA refused facilities for FIME meetings, believing they were an unnecessary distraction and disruption to domestic speedway. The counter argument was that they would give British riders more exposure to events abroad thus improving the standard. Eventually BSPA relented but, at the same time, a large group of young riders starting coming through from the BYC and were getting FIM and Polish league chances which rather negated any benefit of FIME meetings. Yesterday was interesting - if you are wanting to run an event of stature, why put it up against a GP meaning none of the top riders would be available - and even if they were, with play offs taking place or about to take place all over Europe, would they want to take part? GB last night were hugely disappointing but would Dan, Robert or Tai have ridden for their country had they been available? I rather doubt it and I am aware that several other Brits were approached about the event and declined to take part. The reality for speedway is that the FIM is almost entirely a European operation when it comes to championships (although attempts are being made to stage meetings further afield in the near future) so what purpose does FIME serve other than putting on the SEC? Or is it just to run championships for second tier riders, a sort of second division and, if so, should their events be allowed to disrupt British domestic speedway? I don’t know the answers, maybe others do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few Grass Track meetings and there is the European Grass Track Final at Swingfield on 16th October. This was originally scheduled for Leamington Spa earlier this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
