Of all the tracks in the UK they pick that one? May aswell reopen the old rough park of Newcastle and have one there why not

You need to do more research. In fact, you should read the posts just a bit further up this thread.

 

There will be a HUGE amount of work going on at Foxhall over the winter to the track shape, surface, drainage etc to improve the racing. More work done to the venue itself. What will host the GP in just under a year will not be what is there at present. 
 

This is a breath of fresh air. Something new to freshen up the World Championship. Seems there are still some who want to continue with the stale status quo. Coleman is here to shake things up and pump life into speedway on the world and British stage. 
 

He could well be the person to rescue speedway in this country and get it back to where it needs to be. Why there is so much kickback shocks me.

World class riders will be able to get round foxhall.  Jason and Emil used to regularly overtake last year.  As others have said, there will be investment in track and facilities using Wroclaw advice to get it right.

i thought Mayfield were looking to stage 1 GP at Foxhall but to get it at the expenses of the NSS is somewhat of a surprise.  capacity of Foxhall is bigger than the NSS and scope to erect more temporary stands.

That is not true about being at the expense of the NSS…at the moment. June 12th is still TBC. Seems there is work still to be done to get the GP on at Belle Vue.

Oasis are a killer for us. 

 

Do think we should have seen racing first after the changes to see if it's suitable enough. And held a gp qualifer or something as a test like all tracks have to.

Can see it now, the Emil and Jason school of learning the fastest way round Foxhall😂

Next on the to do list.

Kacper Woryna getting regular practice in around Foxhall for the GP.

Tru plant put a very positive post on instagram on Tuesday I got the feeling they are staying on board.

I don’t think money is an issue with Mayfield they have also been successful in being in new sponsorship this year.

I have a hunch that Emil could be tempted back, I think the main issue is the visa ie how long it’s for. 

Great news, we need successful business people/fans involved in the sport and very positive Mayfield have brought new sponsors in rather than leaning heavily on Guy and hopefully you are correct re Emil Cookie.

To be fair to the fella why shouldn't Foxhall have a gp you can't say Richard isn't putting a shift in to steer the leaky ship in a better direction he deserves a few personal win's for the time/cash he's putting into the sport.

Gotta laugh at that graphic from Ipswich as well. Captions “We cannot wait to welcome the best riders in the world to Ipswich in 2027”

Then proceed to put up a picture of Tunners!

😁

Finally some good f#cking news. I've been fed up of Belle Vue getting all the big events. A welcome change.

It isn’t just an Ipswich thing either. It’s nice for southern based supporters everywhere to get an opportunity to see Zmarzlik and Co in the flesh. It should move around more IMO. Maybe Glasgow next stop?
