spiegal 294 Posted July 27, 2022 News coming out of the FIM is that (as we suggested) there will be NO GP N AUSTRALIA in 2022...but plans are for 2023.... That means that TORUN will be the FINAL VENUE for 2022 Better get that booked up before all remaining places disappear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiegal 294 Posted July 27, 2022 Frankly I think that some really professional motor sports promotions have looked at this and walked away. The costs of travel alone would be at a guess £75/80 k...plus stadium hire..advertising..you would be looking at £150k minimum that is one hell of a gamble...speedway doesn't attract big crowds these days maybe 20,000...big trucks pack the place but not bikes The only way would be say a 6 round robin circus..Mid East..Far east x 2..Aussie x 2... NZ ...but the logistics/costs would be massive 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eric i 620 Posted August 17, 2022 There is a new speedway track in sydney..... https://www.coliseum-online.com/new-australia-speedway-cherry-on-the-cake/ Its already built but I read they were still sorting out the drainage. I am not sure it would be viable with a 7000 capacity, maybe they need to 2 GPs in Aussie to cover the costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
