Who has got the money and the inclination to fulfill the dreams of a few fans. Cardiff is a one off and it doesn't even have a track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lighting columns are at least 3 metres back from the fence on turns 3 & 4, allow for air bags as well, and the riders usually enter & exit the bends on the inside of the track, I can't see this being a problem. I would also box in the hospitality suite supports & utilise the space for further advertising revenue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for FIM track license (as in license for a track, not facilities) cant see it being as complicated as HA thinks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example if a stadium such as Cardiff with a roof and a massive capacity became available I imagine many of the hoops say for example Poole with a smaller capacity would have to jump through would be removed.

They have to consider things like parking and nearby accommodation and travel facilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHarris 390 Posted April 25, 2021 Cardiff is like the Monte Carlo of the Speedway GP - It has glitz and glamour. It is set on a waterfront. It is a temporary tight small circuit and just like the Monte Carlo of F1 overtaking is minimal and first out the traps usually wins. I'd love to see the GP return to Osdal. A proper big, wide, racers track. Maybe they could stage a Commonwealth GP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It never used to be a racers track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Central 2,654 Posted April 25, 2021 Startrax have announced ticket availability and pricing for the Stock Car World Final later in the year. That will be their major focus beyond the big task of getting the place ready for opening night. And with a two day final where tickets are £39 per night to stand it should be a pay day that will make all his hard work worthwhile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wee Eck 703 Posted April 27, 2021 In my view, Cardiff succeeds for several reasons like it has a roof, it has a very large capacity, it’s in a city centre so is accessible by public transport as well as having plentiful accommodation (at an inflated price). Is there any other stadium in UK that does all of that? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
