What sort of "Longtrack" is at Rzeszow? Is it a bespoke "longer" track or are they allowing Longtrack bikes on the speedway track?

It's being held at the speedway track. The FIM reduced the minimum length of longtracks to 350m to allow this track to be used.

392 m

No offence but this Rzeszow longtrack 'GP' is a big joke. These boys should be riding on tracks like 600 meters or longer, but not on a 400 meter speedway track. Polish riders have no interest in longtrack at all, so that's why they come up with Stanislaw Burza as the wildcard and two Czech riders as reserve (one talented girl, but also a 50 year old veteran) ....

It will be very interesting to compare race times between the long-trackers and the usual league speedway races.

Apparently it was very good meeting at Rzeszow with lots of passing too bad crowd was not big for Gp racing I was surprised too to see long track speedway there all turned out good thou

@ Pawel115 - what were the race times in the Longtrack and how do they compare with the league speedway race times?

[iris123 20,986]

Well i did ask Joonas at Brokstedt(398m,i think) earlier this season about the track and which bike would be faster.He said the speedway bike

Longtrack best time: 68,69

League race time (August 4. 2013): 65,90

[uk_martin 1,606]

Thanks for the information. Very interesting.

 

Am I right in thinking that the maneuverability of the speedway bike is what gives it the advantage on a "short" track? I would guess that over 1km with bends that go on and on and on, having an agile bike isn't so important, and brute force and power will win the day for the LT bikes? I wonder where the cross-over point is? 600m? 800m?
