When I bought my ticket a week or more ago - the upper level sections had plenty of tix available. The lower levels less so - mostly the apex area of turns 3 & 4. https://www.kupbilet.pl/swc2026/sell6

Hi there - I'm traveling solo to this, from the USA. Are there usual hangouts for regular traveling UK fans in the City the night(s) before ? Would love to meet up with some traveling fans to share beers etc.

For more meetings (well at least 3 for nearly every rider) Reintroduce the (Berger/Mirror) Grand Prix Series from the late 70's. Find a National Sponsor. 15 tracks, 84 riders - open to anyone who rides in UK. Each track has one meeting with 16 riders. So, 72 riders will get 3 meetings and the 12 lowest ranked riders will only get in 2 meetings. Riders who currently double up in Prem & Champ can get one meeting at each 'home' track. Keep local fans interested. After 15 rounds, top 16 cumulative points scorers make a Grand Final. The winner could be the Wild Card at the British GP. And in addition the top 16 British Riders in the series qualify for a British Final. You don't ride in UK, you don't make the British Final. Start the series early in the season, so that the finals can be raced before October.

Any updates on this interesting project?

Perhaps Jan Staechman might be interested ? He runs a DVD business and perhaps you have stuff he doesn't?

So, anyone else going ?

Only a few tickets left for this one.... just snagged one.

Not many tix left for Riga either.. glad I checked now and bought a 2 dayer.

I'm considering flying in for a week to Riga (from the States) to watch the SGPs there. Looks like there is a good bus service from downtown that serves the stadium. Anyone have any experience travling to the Stadium there from downtown - using public transport? Is it a popular GP for travelers, wondering if there will be a large amount of out of town speedway fans in town that weekend. I figured it's a short hop for Scandinavians....

I just want to say thank you to the Star for bringing back team photos on the back of the issue during the season. I for one appreciated that a lot. Hopefully you will continue in 2025...

OK - I don't do discord, supposedly there's a new MOD file for the updated release of SCM. Is it much different to the MOD file I managed to get already? Will I need the new MOD file if I download the patch release file. BTW - I am still playing Flying Shale.. will be updating all the riders with their 2024 averages v. soon.

we has a few super female speedway riders here in NY State - that ride against men every meeting. Would you line pics/bios?

I used to go quite regularly to both Wimbledon & Hackney from 78-86 - but always preferred the racing at Hackney. I supported neither team. The bloke running the track shop on bend one always kept back the Kings Lynn progs for me (in the days when tracks sold progs from other tracks). Around 1985 I started making small stick on photos 2"x3" of popular riders from 35mm photos I would take in the pits - sold a lot of them at Hackney and Rye House to the girl fans of certain 'cute looking' riders. Never got caught by Len. I still have a few of Melvyn Taylor.....

Hi there Doe the riders csores in the BSN series count towards their 'official' bspa averages? Looking at 2023 riders averages they only seem to be Championship matches only, not even KOC?
