customhouseregular 1,651 Posted October 4, 2015 Pure conjecture I know, but if Emil was to take up Ice Speedway during the winter and treat it seriously, how would he fare against the likes of Krasnikov and Ivanov, That could be an interesting meeting.

Conkers 67 Posted October 6, 2015 Pure conjecture I know, but if Emil was to take up Ice Speedway during the winter and treat it seriously, how would he fare against the likes of Krasnikov and Ivanov, That could be an interesting meeting. Funnily enough, a couple of seasons ago, both Emil and his brother rode a bit on the Ice out in the Far East of Russia for teams there, with the Laguta brothers. The far east regions have their own mini league out there but results are hard to come by, and the standard isn't like Ufa, Togliatti and Kamensk Ural. Danil Ivanov and Igor Kononov both ride on shale during the summer, but they are better Ice Racers than Shale racers, although Danil does turn out for a Swedish team occasionally.

britmet 233 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) The transition from speedway to Ice racing apparently isn't easy.Ivan Mauger, just the year before winning his first World Championship, - 3rd in the World on shale - , was entered into the World Ice qualifiers.He came 16th (out of 16) and didn't participate again.http://www.speedwaychampions.com/ice-champions.php Edited October 6, 2015 by britmet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mjolnir 184 Posted October 21, 2015 I'm tempted to head over to Berlin and check out the GP round there. I havent been to an ice speedway event before (I'm a speedway fan looking to try some new things!) - would someone mind explaining what the format of the GP is like and in what way it is split between the 2 days? Presumably it's possible to get tickets for just one day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
