    Do you mean in the GP era? You can't compare a 10 round GP series to a one off world final ......... Both totally different. consistency needed for GPs. Pressure  cooker and no second chances in one off world final. One mistake and its over. GPs you can even have a stinker like Woffy had in the GP one before last and still become world champion.

    True but is his 3rd gp win this year

    ARTICLE in SS this week by our long-time Australian correspondent Peter White .... pessimistic rather than optimistic. Would require state funding. What might help is if New Zealand also come to the party. Two events on consecutive weeks would make a lot more sense. Rumour has it that now Bill has secured the future of Western Springs as a motorsport venue he could be open to the idea.

    Article in NZHearald a few weeks ago suggested motor sports are leaving Western Springs and that it will become an international cricket venue. Motor sports will then move to a new venue nearer the airport in Auckland

    Stockholm is a very nice city but the GP was held too late in the season. The summer is long gone in October and so is the summer temperatures.
    The ticket prices were too high and the racing was decent but not great. Not really the best way to attract a good attendance.

    Hallstavik track is an ok track, quite short though (289m) and the arena itself is relatively small. Like Målilla it is also situated in the middle of nowhere
    about 100 km north of Stockholm (about 90 minutes drive). It might not sound much but the roads are quite narrow.
    Hallstavik is a small town that don't have much to offer. I would recommend staying in Uppsala or Stockholm and renting a car.

    I had booked and am staying in Uppsala as have been to Stockholm a number of times.
