we are supposed to be flying out on Friday morn but it's all looking doubtful now. None of our party can isolate upon return and not willing to risk not obeying it either. Really bad timing it seems. We still hold out hope though!

I'm posting for the first time in many years simply to say that you are an absolute tool. Good bye. :-)

I can't speak for the other European GP's but what I would say is I've been to GP's in Bydgoszcz twice, Torun twice and Leszno twice and the Polish GP weekend's never disappoint. Great value for money. On the whole great weather believe it or not (was 33 degrees in Torun one year), lot's of culture to see in places like Torun, Cheap Hotels, cheap beer & meals and yes there is a strip club there too. :-) Couldn't recommend a trip to Poland highly enough! I usually spend £150 - £250 in a weekend, so reasonable I'd say.

Not got ours yet, ordered via same route 'secure letter'. I'm sure if it comes to it we can pick them up outside the stadium. I would have prefered this method also, as we've done it every other time without any hassle. Who knows if they will turn up? lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't the 'world service' stream now work in the UK if no one takes up the contract? I know that this is no substitute for HD Sky coverage, but it's better than naff all!

Much as I thought Alan. Would be great watch as it looks like an azming race track from what I've seen on youtube! And incase no one has seen this enjoy a Polecat doing what they do best......... Great race mind!

No live stream then guys?

Yes for sure. We need the Danish model of the 80cc league, but let's face it, it's never going to happen. The nearest we have, and will have until the authorities pull their collective fingers out, is Grasstrack, but even so, no major 'stars' have come out of that scene in my opinon for a while now.

One more to keep tabs on is Robert Lambert. At just 14 years old this kid looks quality. Obviously he's only riding competively in Germany, but he seems to already look beyond his years! If he progresses as he is at this time then I feel he could be a great hope for GB speedway in years to come. It's just a shame that the rules are keeping him away from competetive racing here, but at least Germany are allowing him to get proper racing under his belt against tought opposition too!

Yeah the stadium has a roof the overhangs covering the track, so not a full roof as in the Millenium stadium, but enough to keep us & the track dry I would have thought! It's an amzing staium & I can't wait for Saturday! Get down there early to the fan park, as there was lot's going on last year.........

Check your junk folder. I get emails from Torun themselves and they go into my junk! As far as I am aware when I signed up a few years ago it was pretty insant as is most of these sign up processes.

As far as I am aware it is as Sky still have the contract. It should be 4am I think. It's going to be one late night, or one early morning for all of us in Europe!

I see that there is a one week break in the Polish league schedule the day after the Leszno GP, therefore just wondering if anyone (maybe our Polish contingent?) know/think that there will be some sort of open meeting on anywhere in Poland? I see that there is an U21 Qualifier in Germany that date, but surely that wouldn't affect some sort of meeting? Any thoughts?

Could the answer not lie in the simple idea of just limiting the league to one meeting a week? i.e. Each team keep their designated race night, but only ride one meeting per week, ala Sweden/Poland. That way the top boys might feel the need to come back if they know they are only doing one meeting over here per week. Just a thought. I do understand it's a numbers game and most tracks need the current amount of meetings, but I think this could work.

TVP Sport currently has the Ekstraliga rights. They also show the polish Individual Final and if I remember rightly the European Indivudual final last year and the U21 Final this year, but that was because they were held on poish soil.
