Or will we afford the tickets if they only get one

Or much more importantly can Belle Vue afford to just stage one

I think we're violently agreeing.
I don't think BV can really afford to stage just one GP. But if they do, the ticket price will be so high we'll all complain vehemently and probably vote with our feet.

How can they not afford to stage one? They agreed last year to only stage one. The decision wasn’t to stage two originally. Cardiff pushed them into a position to double book.

Very concerning that the GP fixtures have not been released yet, normally been released and we are booking our trips away by now.

[racers and royals]

Polish media reporting that the release of the GP venues for 2026 is close( in November) they also state Gorican will not be amongst the venues.

GP dates announced tomorrow 14 November at 8am UK time.

Giving Manchester two rounds again one night after another is becoming a joke. Whether it’s the best track or not, I want more weekends to look forward to watching the GP. Not just doing two in one weekend, obviously my opinion only and many will like it I’m sure, but they didn’t even sell out last year for two. Should have placed a second British GP in a different location IMO. Gorzow not holding it this year as it’s a reset year for the club.

Big weekends in Landshut and Riga with SWC semi’s on the Friday and GP on the Saturday.

5 Sprint races again in 2026 at Manchester( Friday) Wroclaw, Lodz , Vojens and Torun.- they were so successful in 2025 they have been retained !!

[PersonalResponsibility]

No big surprises other than perhaps Łódź. Strange why Belle Vue has been given 2 again but c'est la vie, at least it's good racing.

I think we'll be going to Landshut and/or Riga, a weekend of SWC and a GP is a cool idea. God knows what the state the track will be in by the final of the GP, but a fun weekend anyway!

It's also good (in a selfish way) that Landshut, Prague and Warsaw all fall on UK bank holiday weekends. A nice little bonus.

Sorry but i think rather than moan we should be thankful. If ticket prices and Hotels prices are sensibly priced both night’s will sell out and provide superb entertainment.

Fantastic news!

Hopefully the lessons learnt from last season can be put to good effect.

Wonder if the temporary stands could be made a little bigger (with a proper sound system) next year?

Did they sell out last year?

Its each to their own I guess, some people don’t like to leave the country and will enjoy the fact of two back to back, but as I said… my personal opinion is I don’t like it as I love to travel and would prefer to see another either located somewhere different in Britain or across seas, I don’t think any track should have double headers, it’s nothing against NSS.

[THE DEAN MACHINE]

Will have to go to Łódź GP, one track I’ve never been and will go to Toruń again as I’ve not been since 2019 but the rest I will watch on tv, ticket prices will be interesting now it’s been took over by a new company and so has the ticket distribution service 

[Col]

Łódź was indeed a nice surprise!  Hopefully there will be decent Ekstraliga fixtures nearby on the Friday & Saturday.  Łódź is fairly northern I think...  I'll have a look on maps later.

Apart from Torun & Warsaw, every track has a double header.

Only Belle Vue hosting 2 GPs, others hosting SGP2, SGP3, SGP4, SON2 or SWC meetings.

Fans wanting a weekend of racing have plenty of options. SWC qualifiers & SON2 on GP weekends will probably help the organisers make money / lose less money than this year.

Belle Vue has probably got 2 GPs to help offset the cost of the temporary stands, other stadiums already have the infrastructure in place. Hotel prices in city centres are always steep at weekends, more so if several events are on, noticed this morning premier inns in city centre already have some sold out and others £300 for Fri/sat. Probably other events already planned

Booked mine for 3 nights at ibis Salford quays £180 for the 3 nights,Always more if you want to stay in centre.Taxi last year was £9 to the stadium.

Almost everywhere we've been in Poland has had trains passing, or terminating at Łódź. Less than 2 hours on the train from Warsaw too. Ideally located.

Did you read the FIM schedule as Lodz hold a SGP 2 round on the Friday- so can’t see any Extraleague matches that night but Sunday maybe.
