Mark 1,497 Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Big mistake to only sell 2 day tickets it will probably sell out which contradicts that but very expensive for families to turn up twice unless they are local and no hotel costs.

Good idea. 2 grandstand tickets, row L section C available to swap for one of the days with another grandstand ticket. My preference would be as high as possible on the exit of turn 4, obviously two tickets together required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 850 Posted December 20, 2019 21 hours ago, DutchGrasstrack said: Also been twice to Daugavpils. Once by driving by car from Holland, and once by flying to Riga and driving to Daugavpils in a rental. Latvia is all fine. No need for vaccinations. For the SEC a couple of years ago we flew into & out of Vilnius as it was much cheaper than Riga. If you are planning to be around for a week or so, then Riga is worth a visit. So is Trakai Castle & the very spooky Hill of Crosses north of Šiauliai. You'll also be fine driving in Latvia & Lithuania. However you will notice the difference between the two nations roads. The money Lithuania spent on roadsigns to direct you, the Latvians spent on resurfacing (or vice versa, I can't remember which way around it was). I'd rather drive in either than Poland.

OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted December 20, 2019 Are they doing the temporary stands, I didn’t see any sign of them in the plan. Or are they waiting for the grandstand and standing area opposite to sell out before they go for extra stand. Must cost a bit to put up etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must cost a bit to put up etc They not on sale yet, maybe waiting for confirmation of stand size etc? I’m sure it will happen else capacity will only be about 3500ish. in 2016 there was the huge temporary stand on the 3rd/4th bend plus there was an additional standing stand on 1st bend that not there anymore which made capacity 9000.

sommelier 1,118 Posted December 20, 2019 Absolute bargain price for two days racing, on arguably one of the best tracks in the world, modern stadium excellent facilities. Think Belle Vue have smashed with such give away prices. So pleased for Belle Vue they thoroughly deserve it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
