marcel 0 Posted December 30, 2011 Just watched my Sky+ recording of the UK Flattrack staged at Leicester and in one of the breaks was an "Ice Racing - coming soon to Motors TV" advert, with action from Assen on show. Given I recorded this Flattrack over a month ago, does anyone know if the Ice Racing has been broadcast already. I'd hate to have missed it. no none has been shown as of yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) It will not be any meeting at Gubbangen on tuesday 10 of januari. It will be forward to tuesday 7 of februari depend on the warm winterweather. And the event in Örnsköldsvik during the upcoming weekend is also i danger due to warm weather. The article says that its pretty much a crisis since entire Europe, more or less, lacks ice. "The idea was that Örnsköldsvik is supposed to have their first meeting the upcoming weekend. But nut even Ö-vik is safe from the warm winds, -It rained there yesterday says P-A Lindtrö, so i don't know. http://zport.se/2.43...nska-krisartat- Howver, weather forecasts for Ö-vik says colder weather from Thursday and a couple of days onward.

f-s-p 832 Posted January 11, 2012 I've been updating my racing calendar for this season at would now appear that thanks to the FIM's decision to scrap Berlin from the WC calendar we now have a full 5! round Golden Spike series in our hands with meetings in Dresden, Berlin, Norrköping, Weissenbach and Heidenreischtein. I think there are much more meetings in Europe in general scheduled than for the past few years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
