racers and royals 8,720 Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) This competition features riders from Central European countries with rounds in 2019 staged in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Czech Rep. It looks as if riders also ride from Bulgaria, Slovakia and Ukraine. I know several British fans have an extensive list of tracks visited on their CV, so was wondering if Braila Romania has been crossed off any lists Edited October 24, 2019 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seven riders riding each other twice with 3 riders per race. Adrian Gheorge won on both days but the second day was curtailed from 14 heats to 7. I was made very welcome in Braila and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The journey was about 145 miles each way about half of which was motorway. Overall it took just over 3 hours going mainly due to Friday ‘rush hour’ traffic. Coming back on a Sunday was a bit quicker!

I've been to Elgane. This season we had racing at Hyvinkää, Varkaus, Haapajärvi, Kuusankoski, Seinäjoki, Kauhajoki and Pori. Pori is to close now, highly unlikely Yyteri see's another speedway bike but I'm told a new track is coming and happening. To these you can Nokia that had meetings in 2017 and 2018 and for the opener at Nokia we had our British friends from Felixstowe and also a fellow from Hungary. Lahti was closed sometime ago but Kaanaa/Tampere was used for practise again this season after a loooong break. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
