Edit just answered my own question - yes is the answer From the FIM “Unfortunately, we have been unable to reach an agreement to bring the Speedway GP series back to Australia for 2023. But I can assure everyone that work continues behind the scenes to take the world’s best riders back to one of speedway’s biggest nations. “Bringing the Speedway GP series to Australia remains a key objective and, when it happens, we are determined to deliver an unforgettable event that is well worth the wait for our passionate fans Down Under and one that can be sustained for many years to come.” Edited November 7, 2022 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElmParkRG2 13 Posted November 7, 2022 Why is Australia the only non-European country considered? Why not try the USA? Even New Zealand should be able to hold a Grand Prix round. It may give the sport there a boost, were Briggs and Mauger the last well known New Zealanders in our sport? I seem to remember that even Argentina was also spoken about at one time. I think we should have at least one round away from Europe every year, it would make a change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind if they did a third year without any changes... What annoys me is the fact that they made such a fuss about how good they are and how things would change only to find out they had bugger all idea what they were taking on to run. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eric i 619 Posted November 7, 2022 2nd German GP fell through and still no trip to Aussie. I knew Eurosport were bad news when they signed a 4 year deal with Gorzow. Riga is not a great track but at least it is a nice place and well connected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
