Mr Ore 204 Posted January 7, 2022 On 1/4/2022 at 7:39 PM, Bavarian said: Is there any ice speedway racing taking place in Sweden or Finland ? Please don't ask for a link, as I had a computer crash, when I was checking possible ice racing options for this winter. Subject to there being no or limited restrictions on attending events the Finnish final is proposed at Varkaus on 26th February. Sadly the airport closed a few years ago to passenger flights so would be a difficult journey from UK for us. Not asked for but Weissenbach, which we have done by public transport, are similarly awaiting details from the Austrian government but seemingly have a plan in place to run if they are allowed the crowd level. I can find no info regarding potential events in Czechia. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can find no info regarding potential events in Czechia. The Finnish final IS on Feb 26th at Varkaus until it’s postponed or cancelled for any reason. They are also planning another event earlier in the season, but thats not confirmed AFAIK. It made me smile a bit reading that a potential ice racing fan cant make it to Varkaus because the airport has closed. It was funny because of the airport, didnt mean to be mean in anyway. When it closed a local Finnair administrator actually became somewhat famous as she continued to work there for a while before her retirement. She was the only one there and had a tv doc and many newspaper reports made of her… Go to svemo.se and look for isracing and tävlingskalendar and you’ll find about half a dozen meetings to be ridden in Sweden. The big ones are the SM on March 18th and Individual Nordic on March 19th up in the north of Sweden. And of course the wc quali next weekend in Övik. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed of course, for some real ice speedway in western Europe. But you have to be doubtful that the Austrian government will allow anything, added to the weather problems. Although it is in the minus in the night, for the next week or so it is up to 8 + during the day The hope i Omicron means it will all calm down. There is even a discussion now that the Vaccine mandate planned for February won't happen, with the new PM and situation At the moment airplanes from the UK and the Netherlands aren't even allowed to land it seems Einstufung von vier zusätzlichen Ländern als Virusvariantengebiete (Anlage 1 der Einreiseverordnung): Dänemark, Niederlande, Norwegen und Vereinigtes Königreich. Für Flüge aus diesen Ländern besteht kein Landeverbot! And of course at the moment anyway, Football is being played without crowds, and the measures are fairly tough, which would probably mean in the near future it would be hard to plan Outdoor ohne zugewiesene Sitzplätze: Zutritt nur mit 2-G FFP2-Maskenpflicht Höchstgrenze: max. 25 Personen Outdoor mit zugewiesenen Sitzplätzen: Zutritt nur mit 2-G FFP2-Maskenpflicht Höchstgrenze: max. 500 Personen nur mit 2-G max. 1000 Personen bei 2-G+ max. 2000 Personen bei Booster + PCR Edited January 9, 2022 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
