One other point in yesterday’s press release is that apart from Warsaw and Cardiff( held the day before) practice/qualifying on the afternoon of the GP now will start and finish 2 hours later than before- this i believe will cause major problems for the track maintenance teams in having to prepare a raceable track in 3 hours after an hours pounding in practice. I can see far more ruts appearing during the meetings than previously.
Fixtures not expected to be announced until February. This is mainly due to the uncertaintity surrounding Rawicz and the possibility of Krakow replacing them.
The line-ups have been announced along with confirmation of the venues- NO TEAM GB in 2024
1st semi Pardubice 30th March Czech Rep, Denmark, Norway, Slovenia
