You could also post that on the " new look for the star" thread on news and discussions section- Phillip might see it 1st there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fixed gates for Heats 1-12 and as I understand it, the Home team has gate choice for the nominated heats. There is provision for a No.7 who has no programmed rides, but can take up to 4 rides. By "Fixed gates for heats 1-12" you mean there will be no gates draw? And for nominated heats Home Team can pick gates 1&3 (heats 13 and 15) and gates 2&4 (heat 14) and vice versa? Any link to official source confirming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I submitted my Match Programme to SVEMO with the fixed gates, so I presume there will be no draw. I also presume that the home team could chose 1&3 (or 2&4) in all 3 heats. I have no link as the details came in a private message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be so weird and unfair if home can pick the same gates for all 3 nominated heats. Thanks anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Had confirmation from Andrew Skeels at the Speedway Star that they're expecting their Swedish correspondent to include a preview of the Swedish season in next week's edition. I've suggested he makes sure that the new heat formula is discussed along with the differences between the leagues in Sweden and here. It's clear from Polish threads here that a similar exercise could have been a valid feature n the Star when Poland started up. The Star needs and deserves readers and if it can act as a guide to what people are watching on TV and online it might help in a small way.

The Star's Swedish correspondent is delaying the preview for a week since the teams are far from resolved yet. So it should be in the August 15th-dated issue, out on the 13th.

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) It's 1 August 2020 and we have a new Jansson champion when Anton Jansson won the youth (85cc) final today. Anton is great grandson of Joel Jansson, grandson of Bosse Jansson (Tommy Jansson's brother) and son of Jimmy (Smederna's team manager).
