DutchGrasstrack

Going to Spain this weekend for my first full flattrack meeting. Usually not a big fan of shorttrack/flattrack classes at grasstrack/speedway meetings but this event sounds good, some realy big names in it as well

Yes that's true. Schlein just missed out on qualifying for the challenge with an 8th place in Daugavpils, and Hall ended up with an 10th place in Zarnovica.

Phil Morris is replacing Tony Olsson as FIM race director at the GP's and SWC. Info here: http://www.fim-live.com/en/article/phil-morris-appointed-fim-race-director/

The last 20.000 sold tickets look pretty legit to me, sadly I do not have any info on the first 35.000 tickets. I used my webdeveloper magic to watch the ticket sales every few minutes, based on the available tickets (yes I had nothing to do ). There was no sudden drop in available tickets or something (apart from a 200 VIP ticket drop yesterday afternoon) Let see what happens in the next 24 hours! I can't wait for this GP, will me immense

Keep an eye on the ticket site as well in the next few days, people who payed with bank transfer have 72 hours to pay (according to their twitter page). If no payment came through then the seats will be available again.

Yeah I'll be there for sure, including 4 of my mates Roadtripping to Warsaw and hoping on a big league meeting on the sunday to have a great Polska weekend.

Stadium is near sold out: at the moment there are only 2356 tickets left and 95% are VIP tickets.

5400 tickets left on the ticket site. 2000 gone in the last hour (!)

If anyone wants to go, get your tickets sorted. Will be sold out tomorrow if it goes like this.

It will be more. Official info: 27.500 sold so far.

And less then 20.000 tickets left. Tickets are flying out, 400 in the last 10 minutes.

Yeah the FMN order is quite strange in their documents lol

20.000 sold already https://twitter.com/SGPnarodowy/status/539399084923441153

They do send 1 rider to the U21 Euro's though.

Latest news from the FIM Europe allocations: the ACU/BSPA did not request starting places for the SEC qualifiers ....

Best Pairs event two will be held in Gustrow on April 11. Should be officially confirmed by One Sport tomorrow but German media already published the news. http://www.ostsee-zeitung.de/Region-Rostock/Guestrow/Sport-Guestrow/Paukenschlag-fuer-Motorsportfans-WM-Rennen-im-April-2015

SGP Challenge will be held in Rybnik on 05.09.2015

Yes it will run again, and also three rounds. The tournament starts on March 28 in Torun, the other two dates are TBA. Rumours suggest that Gustrow will run a round in April.

Yeah I think so, believe they signed a two year contract after the first event in 2013. It seems that the story on the German forum about Esbjerg running a SEC round is 'wrong information' (aka not right at all).

If a rider qualifies for the U21 championship (FIM) then he can't compete in the SEC (FIM Europe). We saw the same with Smoli last year when he qualified for the Longtrack challenge and therefore he couldn't compete in the SEC round in Denmark. Teams should not be a problem as it doesn't have a qualify system. The manager picks his team and that's it. It's up to the rider if he agrees or not.

Yep, confirmed by Czech Speedway on Twitter.
