Sorry Kev, not completely understanding your question. But if you're asking what British speedway gets from the GP's?
- The fact that people see it on the TV and want to go and watch it live at their local track
- It cant be denied that the top riders attract extra people through the turnstiles, people want to see the current world champ riding on their track.
Of course I,m not talking about regular supporters, as we will go to every meeting regardless but new people coming into the sport.
As for domestic competitions, as far as Im concerned the GP didnt affect them too badly this season? There were no GP rider restrictions this year and yet most teams managed to get their weekly meetings on during a GP week. In fact some teams (Eastbourne) just ran without their GP riders.
