youngy105 16 Posted March 1, 2008 http://www.speedwayworld.tv/en/news/a8859?...53a2a154897c4b7 What if the same rider wins all 4 Super Prix's? How will they decide who goes into this extra race? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 15 Posted March 1, 2008 It was suggested in the Speedway Star it would be the top rider in the standings not to have won a super GP. IMO it would be fairer to say if a rider wins Super-GP 1 and 3, the guy who come second in S-GP 3 gets the place as the guy coming 1st has already qualified.

Deano 1,318 Posted March 1, 2008 Good to see big money on offer to the riders, not nearly as much as other sports but these guys deserve every penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,960 Posted March 1, 2008 Surely this money should go to the actual World Champion or, at the very least, the winner of the final GP, not the winner of a gimmicky extra race which has no bearing on the World Championship at all. Did everything get pissed up at the FIM congress or something? All the best Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the best Rob Im guessing its just for if or when the world champion has been decided before the last grand prix, that the last round has something riding on it (more than just a rostrum place and the top 8.

Why not have it as the winner of the final GP then? The money should not be awarded for an non-championship race. All the best Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the best Rob Maybe the powers that be did not think the system they used last year (winner of the final), worked as well as they imagined and want to try a new idea. I personally believe having the top four of the overall world championship in a one-off race is they way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally believe having the top four of the overall world championship in a one-off race is they way to go. That sounds like an even cheaper version of the dreaded play-off system. I suggest giving the extra dosh to the highest placed British rider. That way my erstwhile mates in the Inland Revenue can get their cut! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
