racers and royals Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 4 hours ago, Rob B said: Is it not SF1 gets moved to Wednesday and SF2 moved to Thursday? From the SON 2024 rulebook The SoN race meetings can be held either during daylight or during the evening under floodlights. The SoN calendar will be established pursuant to art. 20.1.2 of the FIM sporting code. Once the allocated dates for the race meetings are known, no other Track Racing race meeting(s) or practice sessions of any kind can be staged at the venue five days prior to that date and until two days after, unless it’s a FIM/WBDS promoted event. To provide for postponements that may be necessary, for example because of weather conditions, the FMNR or the organiser must declare one re-staging date for each meeting. The re-staging date must always be the day after the original date of the race meeting. This must be notified in the supplementary regulations (SR’s). 09th July - SoN semi-final 1 practice & race meeting 10th July - SoN semi-final 2 practice & race meeting | Re-staging day SoN semi-final 1. 11th July - Rest day | Re-staging day SoN semi-final 2. 12th July - SoN2 final practice & race meeting. 13th July - SoN final practice & race meeting. 14th July - Re-staging day SoN final or SoN2 final. If semi-final 1 or 2 is postponed again and cannot be held on the re-staging date, the race meeting classification will be decided according to 2024 ranking list (art. 8.1): Highest team ranking is placed 1 st , second highest team ranking is placed 2nd and so on. The SoN and SoN2 final tournaments have precedence over any other Track Racing race meeting, with the exception of the FIM SGP race meetings.

The way I read it, 10 July is either Semi final 2 or restaging of semi final 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes so if it rains on the restaging 2nd attempt it won’t be run. Each event has a restaging date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All details on Fanzone are on FIM Speedway website - click on SON and then final and it’s all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any meetings don’t take place on designated days i’m sure any refund issues will be addressed- however small print might say that meeting is weather dependant and might take place on re-run date.

Timo Lahti has a Swedish passport on account of him riding in Sweden for numerous years, but it makes him as Swedish as it makes me a Finn (my wife being Finnish). Rding on a Swedish licence is out of convenience too, as although he is a Finn, he counts as a Swede for team building purposes in the Elitserien. Sadly speedway in Finland is really struggling, withno meetings held this season, due to the well documented insurance nightmare. Otto Raak being picked at reserve is largely due to their being no one else left to ride, rather than his ability as a 16 year old up and coming rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A meeting due to be ridden in Finland has now been moved to Germany, and they mentioned insurance problems. I just thought it was for the meeting/track, i didn't realise it was a national problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
