Rico 210 Posted October 19, 2004 I've been to Prague twice, whereas I've only been to Wroclaw once (ooops, well I am going out there again this weekend actually !). Ok, I've only been to one Wroclaw GP compared to two in Prague. Loved the racing and atmosphere at Wroclaw (Walasek must get another wildcard !). There's even a Scottish themed pub on the main square to remind you of home Joanne. I'm sure they'll overcharge you though There's also the delight of club PRL in Wroclaw - spent a couple of nights in there and had a ball - it's certainly on the agenda for this weekends trip. Have never thought Prague has produced great racing as the track is too flat - lovely city though and well worth a weekend in. Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wackie 938 Posted October 19, 2004 Surprised you can remember much about your last trip to Prague Rico Hoping the Prague GP isn't in May next year as I won't be able to make it if it is. Could always try a Polish GP instead, but it seems much easier travelling to and around Czecho than Poland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BilaHora Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) Mr Wackie I would guess the major difference is that the Czech Grand Prix is held in the capital city Prague, which is a major tourist destination and therefore has reasonably good infrastructure. On the other hand, the Polish Grand Prix are held in Wroclaw and Bydgoszcz which are industrial areas. I would guess that if the Grand Prix were held in Warsaw and Cracow you would find it as easy as Prague. I still say that November would be the ideal time, largely as it would coincide with my annual holiday in Prague.

Regards BilaHora <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thing is though is, the Americann & Aussie GP competitors will be sunning themselves in California, Sydney, Melbourne, etc...... GP season finishes early October, Speedway season itself finishes October 31st....Would be a pretty empty stadium at Marketa in November Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted October 19, 2004 Surprised you can remember much about your last trip to Prague Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember I was drunk and caught on camera by some Reading fan Mr Wackie <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (Rico ducks for cover) I would guess the major difference is that the Czech Grand Prix is held in the capital city Prague, which is a major tourist destination and therefore has reasonably good infrastructure. On the other hand, the Polish Grand Prix are held in Wroclaw and Bydgoszcz which are industrial areas. I would guess that if the Grand Prix were held in Warsaw and Cracow you would find it as easy as Prague. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With the budget airlines moving into Poland things are certainly easier. And if you can't fly direct to where you want to go to there are always alternatives not too far away. (e.g. Poznan/Katowice for Wroclaw, Gdansk/Poznan for Bydgoszcz) I still say that November would be the ideal time, largely as it would coincide with my annual holiday in Prague. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two things get in the way of that Bila Hora, the weather and the fact that domestic speedway is over in Europe by then. Otherwise, feel free to write to BSI and see if they'll extend the season for you Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
