Reliant Robin 492 Posted October 11, 2016 Half of the GP field raced in the UK in 2016......with 3 of the top 5 finishing up the season here. Standout rider this year is Jason Doyle who has just committed to a new 2 year deal at Swindon. Not all doom and gloom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted October 11, 2016 One thing the UK does offer though is big sponsors for Riders. Maybe not league but there are some big sponsors for UK riders. Most Poole riders get lots of cost covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perton Wolf 396 Posted October 11, 2016 One consistent race night is the biggest factor in my mind. We could even have more fixtures if we were able to designate one night of the week for EL action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
