Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Practice delayed till 6 due to additional track prep needed.... Anyone know anymore? As I don't see anyone on track right now?! Track is unridable,very soft and they have a problem with getting the track material to bind. Most likely this is because the material they used in the track construction was to moistly. http://translate.goo...speedwayfesten/ http://translate.goo...jonsson-omkull/ http://translate.goo...tadium-just-nu/ Edited May 31, 2013 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted May 31, 2013 What was that bit in Phil Risings post re hoping it isnt the unlucky 13th staging!! Fingers toes and everything else crossed that they can get it right in the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted May 31, 2013 Oh dear!! You would think they would get the track right after all these years at Cardiff. We saw in the early years that it rutted up alot but them pictures look a bit worrying. I just hope with just under 24 hours they get it into some kind of raceable shape! fingers crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,658 Posted May 31, 2013 Looking at the pictures they're using different material than usual. It looks much much paler than previous year's. Why mess and change thing's that ain't broken? I'm doubley gutted as it's the first time in 6 years to be at the Cardiff GP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted May 31, 2013 Nicki said that the track was "a disaster" Also the riders have put out an ultimatum that if the track don't become safe to ride on they will not ride tomorrow evening. http://www.fyens.dk/article/2309882:Sport--Nicki-P--paa-skandale-bane-i-Cardiff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Apparently the track is going to be relaid overnight, they are waiting for the new shale to be delivered by Breedon, which is due to arrive sometime overnight!! Lets hope they get it sorted. Edited May 31, 2013 by Brummie Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets hope they get it sorted. What a bunch of idiots, who's laying the track this year, because if its the same people they've made a right balls up with the shale, topsoil, or whatever it is.. Its not rocket science, you get the same shale as previous years, the red shale from Edinbourgh, or are we saving money and getting sand from Whitby beach!!!

I dont understand it at all tbh. The track at the last couple of Cardiff Gp's has been excellent, so if they have changed the shale, what sense is there for doing it. Even if they have, surely it cant be hard to prepare a race track. Afterall the bloody stadium has a roof, so cant blame bad weather and they get a fair amount of time to prepare one..
