Mark 1,497 Posted April 28, 2020 Because of the 14 day quarantine rule in Poland for Ekstraliga riders are we looking at the 2020 GP series only at Poland tracks. With the Polish border closed its the only way Ekstraliga riders could take part in the GP series. Could 5 or 6 GP's with no crowd be run at tracks around Poland.

It’s could but it have little credibility in my eyes and would have be a loss maker without a major sponsors . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple.H. 1,986 Posted April 28, 2020 I'd have no problem with a 5 or 6 round GP series behind closed doors in Poland for this season only, but lets make it really interesting and riders bring their own rolling chassis and draw lots for standard engines. Lets see who the best rider/racer there is not who has the best tuner provided trickbit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also for aerodynamics the shorter guys need to wear higher helmets so the "drag" is equal on all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCookie 753 Posted April 28, 2020 It'd be better than nothing but any champion would have a massive asterisk against their name and wouldn't be a true champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's always been someone missing, injured or otherwise. And besides, wont all champions of 2020 in any sport have the same stigma? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you think there will be a second wave ? Poland has only had 570 deaths in total and they are easing restrictions... Schools and businesses were locked down until April 19, and the border will stay closed until May 3, according to Reuters. As of April 20, more customers at a time were allowed into stores, and citizens can freely enter forests and national parks, Warsaw Business Journal reports.
