No. They say if things change for the better they will reconsider. But in all honesty, who thinks things are going to change for the better and not get worse?

But in all honesty, who thinks things are going to change for the better and not get worse? Plus they are in Bavaria, which is trying to lead the way in Germany for dealing with the virus, quick and hard Usually by this time of the year I have my diary for my Ice Racing Trips all sorted, with flights, hotels and transport all booked. At the moment I have a provisional booking at one hotel and nothing else. I'm hopeful that some sort of season may take place, but after covering both speedway and football in empty stadia with no end in sight to these restrictions, I'm beginning to think 2021 will be my first year since 1985 that I haven't done an Ice Meeting. I just hope I'll be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eurosport covered the second day at Assen live a few years back (possibly 2010 but I cant be sure) and the UK had Jack Burnicle as the commentator. He also came out with the line "Why do they still use straw bales on the outside of the track, why don't they use an airfence?" I don't think he was being Ironic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,853 Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) So the World championship calendar looks like 16.01 Örnsköldsvik quali 13-14 of something. It say's Jan, but guessing the FIM got it wrong and is Feb Final 1+2 Togliatti 6-7.03 Finals 3+4 Berlin Berlin must look doubtful atm. So we might end up with just one weekend in Russia Edited November 13, 2020 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian 763 Posted November 13, 2020 Would be better for the F.I.M. to run the complete ice speedway season in Russia then, just like they did with the Speedway SGP/SON/SEC this year in Poland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
