24th August 2013 Gp Challenge @ Poole

[Marcelle 162]

So if a Brit wild card finishes in the top 3, does he qualify for next years GP series.

[Grand Central 2,654]

Yes.

But first we must believe in miracles.

[racers and royals 8,749]

The FIM on their website are saying it was 7 qualifying from Holsted and that Piotr Pawlicki is reserve at the Poole final.

 

6th place could get a 2014 GP spot if NKI, KK and Zagar get on the rostrum.

Don`t think that`s correct-Challenge top 3 is it-if any of the top 3 are in the top 8 from the series then it results in more picks for the FIM/BSI.

So a rider who hasnt turned a wheel in qualifying,gets a wild card has 1 good meeting and is in the GP.....FARCE.

What's the rule if someone finishes top 8 in gprs and top 3 here - does their spot go to 9th in gas or 4th from here? quite possible that nki plus zagar/kk could qualify via both methods.

 

 

If a rider qualifies from both, the 4th etc from the GP Challenge moves up.

Most of the final wildcards have been in the qualifiers but have been knocked out-that`s why Most people were hoping Pavlic wouldn`t qualify from last years Gorican final,as he had been knocked out in the semi.

Yes you are right-I was wrong.

DON'T think that's true although I am sure they wish it was...

You are right-I have already checked the FIM regs and admitted my error.

BSI will make it up like they did when thehy gave AJ the place the Ales Dryml should have had according to the rules.

IT was actually the FIM who ruled that when Jason Crump retired Andreas Jonsson should move up to eighth in the 2012 standings as far as qualification for 2013 was concerned.

Completely agree with that, it would totally ridiculous if that happened but would sadly sum up just how unprofessional and farcical speedway can be a lot of the time these days!
