Bojangles 594 Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) I mentioned this on another thread, but Sportowe Fakty have an interview with Jorge Viegas. It's translated, but he talks about the following... Can fans expect any changes to the Grand Prix series for next season? Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I can assure you that the promoter is doing everything possible to bring the Grand Prix back to Australia next year. This is another such assurance, but nothing has come of it yet. Are there any other possible directions for the expansion of the Speedway World Championships? We are constantly monitoring the development of speedway in Argentina and want the cycle to expand to other continents. I think this will happen in the future. So how many tournaments are planned next year? In my opinion, in the future we should do everything possible to have 12 tournaments. The number of rounds in the next season depends primarily on whether it will be possible to organize the competition in Australia. I am in constant contact with the promoter and I know that he is working very hard on it. At this stage, I can only assure you that within a month all matters should be clarified and we should know the exact calendar for the next year.

Rumour is a GP in the Polsat Arena in Gdansk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovely I can hear the moaning now, Gdansk is one of the worst tracks in Poland but I guess the local authority coughed up the most to stage it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 'Polsat Plus Arena' is not the speedway stadium in Gdansk, but the 40,000 capacity football stadium! This will be something similar to what we already have in Warsaw and Cardiff with a temporary speedway track. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was worried for a minute when you said Gdansk. Went a few years ago for a World U21 round. Horrific public conveniences in the stadium .None of us dared to have a drink Heard on Saturday a rumour that Frankfurt is under consideration for the German GP. That's from a German supporter with speedway connections we spoke to in the Torun Arena. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
