    Parallel Championships

    Ok so I've had this idea rattling around in my head for a while and wanted to put it down... Alongside the usual club league, there should be an individual championship. There I've said it! Points would be scored in a GP style totalling up system over the course of the year based on your ride results in league meetings, then at the end of the year the top 12 (or something) can be brought together to create a new, refreshed British Championship Individual meeting. As an add on to the regular meetings, the top eight scorers of the night will race off in 2 semis and a final (double points). Doubling up/guests don't qualify for individual championship points, only when riding for your regular team. Also double points rides (in the league) count as normal for the individual championship. Similar in essence to the way formula 1 has a constructors and a drivers championship. Any thoughts about this?

    Just coming back to this, what about pursuit races like in track cycling where the riders start on opposite straights?

    British GP 2013

    On a different note, the Eurosport coverage has already completely totally eclipsed Sky's attempts. At last the Cardiff GP is televised properly! Hope the racing lives up to expectation. hearing that atmosphere coming through the tv now and GUTTED we didn't go! DAMN!

    Gp Rider Sponsorship

    I was wondering if it's time that FIM/GPs started to speculate in regards to national media coverage for instance could they pay TalkSport a sum to guarantee the results are mentioned over the weekend and monday mornings? Surely, with some national coverage such as this they would be able to recoup it with a few new sponsors? Perhaps the results segment could be sponsored to help pay for this.

    New Zealand Gp.

    'WOLFY WINS and the union jacks are up! The pommies are going mad!' - I was cracking up! Really enjoyed the commentary and not an (English) cliché in sight! Edit: F*ck me some people are never happy - you all finally got rid of Pearson and you're still moaning - AT LEAST IT WAS ON TELLY! Get real.

    Did anyone see AJ as top points scorer after 20 heats? I didn't! He's a curse that man! Everytime I bet on him he flunks and vice versa! YOU'RE AN ENIGMA AJ! Was going great guns until Holder knocked out Sayfutdinov and Lindgren on countback Grrrr... still - had £5 e/w on Hampel for the meeting (real money) so happy as larry! Does anyone think we should have a seperate discussion thread for this game? I'm happy to start it if so...

    Mcs - Speedway Card Game

    To be fair you're way off the mark, MCS approached me to stock the game in Speedwaystore, the game is far more than 'top trumps' and looks like it's had a lot of time spent on it. You have the right to an opinion of course but there's no need to belittle the product.

    Hmmm Can Chris do it twice in a row? Not sure. For me Hampel has got to be due a good run soon after a bad 2012. Hampel it is then!

    Uk Speedway Series

    If they grow their promotions that quickly they'll be doing something very right considering the state of the ahem - sport in this country.

    Uk Speedway Series

    As fans, why don't just go along and support it? It'll be one in the eye for SCB and a bit of fans power!

    Sounds very interesting, like a GP series for UK riders!
  21. Don't forget the delayed footballer-esque holding of the thigh and pretending to be injured!
  22. In truth I would have been calling for Nikki's head had that been in reverse, I've watched him try to put so many people in the fence this GP series, get away with it calling it 'hard racing' and yet whinge when someone had the audacity to give him some back. For once, his antics went against him and it happened to be against the guy he was competing for the World title with... better luck next time Nikki.
  23. I would say all 4 back would be the right call
  24. Isn't Nikki always the one moaning about being given room to race when he goes down? He gated Holder but then got greedy and tried to take his track - if he'd given him just a little more room Holder would've had no excuses...
