New speedway club in Germany ?

Recommended Posts

Seems on Thursday it will be announced that an area has been found and agreed to build a stadium that they hope will hold its first meeting in 2021. The big stumbling block, as ever is money!!!

Meeting with around 300 fans including the Mayor of Neubrandenburg yesterday. Location around 10 km outside town

Interesting that it seems to be a bowl type track. Sounds a bit Bradford from memory like and that should help with the noise. But sounds a slow project. But by bit. And if it gets going in 2021 it will be more a training track and for junior meetings, with the hope to develop over time and host bigger meetings. From little acorns, as they say

Oh and track to be 325m

Seems they had a meeting with locals to judge feeling and try to inform them of what is planned. Place was packed with about 60 local residents, who were mostly against the new project . Fear of noise and traffic. When the new promoter said the track was well out of town, there was a roar of laughter from some, as the track is just 1 km away !!! Not a good start in trying to gain people’s trust. But they will have a meeting on 14 th where a bike will be started up and people will be able to judge for themselves. Well that is the hope. Also talk of having a vote of the residents as to allowing the project to go ahead. Hmmm I have my doubts about this now

The track that used to exist, just 10 minutes drive from me ran into problems with the neighbours way back in 1931 or so, due to noise.Although at its peak it was running 2/3 times a week,plus training most other days. So nothing new even here. Stralsund used to (not sure about recently) have to have a 2 hour break due to the German mid-day rest, ruling. So they tended to have racing or practice in the morning then the 2 hours and then start again..... 

Tbh if I was one of the sceptics, revving up 1 bike wouldn't be enough, seeing as during a meeting there would be 4 of them racing around, so I am not sure they are doing enough. But as stated before, the track is to be situated in a bowl and then a barrier built as well, which will dampen a lot of noise. Just think it is going to be a battle to win the majority over

We had a track that was there without a enviroenmental permission to use it. Riding a speedway bike there would have gotten you in to trouble and no way official meetings or training could have gone a head as it was not a "real" track.

We made a noise test of the bike (something the FIM should pay and deliver to every FMN EVERY time they change the silencer limits), then there was a simulation of a bike doing circles and there were 4 or six reference points where the sound level was recorded. A report (https://www.moottoriliitto.fi/site/assets/files/1251/speedwayn_melupaastomittaukset_emo_lahetetty.pdf) was written on the sound levels. Then a sound model was created with computer on the specific site and its surroundings, only that it did not take in to account any trees or bushes, just ground level alterations. Also wind was set at 3 or 5 meters per songs to every direction at the same time. So then this model was created with a computer and it showed how the noise travels in theory. We applied the permit, it was put on show for everyone interested in complaining and the we explained that there was no problem.

Cant see any point in taking one bike and revving it next to people ready to complain. That will amount to nothing good for the project. There was no vote with the public, city people did the job and everyone in Finland had the right to complain.

I agree with you on the bike bit. Think they are going to look at the vote as to whether it is needed(legal)or not. Been a few in Hamburg on various topics plus a referendum on the hosting of the Olympics which went against the politicians and business people who wanted it

The noise test has been postponed !!!

Due to the recommendation from the local authorities that only essential meetings should be held whilst the Corona virus is spreading, the club has decided to postpone the test. No new date has been arranged

On the face of it, it seems ott that an outdoor noise test for some local residents has been postponed, when I doubt 500 or a 1,000 people will turn up, but I guess they know best

The long postponed noise test took place earlier. 100 m away from the bike the noise was as loud as a vacuum cleaner. But of course some of the locals are not convinced the test was realistic, plus the worry about traffic and rubbish etc remain
