I never in my life thought it was just the same old 4 laps under a new name. I was thinking more of the one lap dash/flying lap that they used to have as a filler. Although quite by coincdence i think the only few i saw were at Stralsund and a certain Mr Morris was the fastest Ah yes, the old 'bahnrekord' or whatever it was called... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I needed to do to register was to say I was from Great Britain, then put in my passport number and no postcode. If you are really struggling I can buy tickets for you - I've done this for several Brits. Feel free to PM me. If you don't trust that route, the next thing to do is to email the club and they will advise you. The email address is sekretariat@wts.pl Thank you Stewmac, very kind :) I did persevere and managed to purchase tickets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For how many hours are they currently predicting for the meeting now to drag on with a noon start? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I questioned the Riga SGP Instagram on this point (as the tickets say 12,00) and they responded saying fan zones open 12.00 but both meetings start at 19.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year was 5pm local time start i think. If it is 19.00 they will have had to install floodlights. There shouldn’t be this uncertainty and i blame Discovery Sports events fully !!!!

Gilo1969 1 Posted April 7 I was assuming the same as the Riga website selling tickets shows 12:00 start, as does my ticket. However after showing no details for this GP for ages the FIM website page now shows the below: I'm now thinking 12:00 is probably when the gates/fanzones open after all as tomhaines was advised. If it was a 12:00pm start there would usually be a note somewhere on the tickets or website of when the gates open, but no other times are shown that I can find. As Racers and Royals said, there shouldn't be any uncertainty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
