Sorry to spoil the party but is there likely to be anyone offering a package to Adelaide in October 27? We want to visit my wife’s grandmother’s grave (and see the place) and we both thought this was too good an opportunity to miss. Ipswich does puzzle me though. We’ve never had a bad GP at BV and I’ve seen some shockers in Cardiff, so not surprised that’s binned.

TravelPlus have already taken bookings even though little things like price and hotels haven’t been sorted yet

Belle Vue should have both British rounds.  Ipswich should be nowhere near a grand prix roster and certainly boring Glasgow shouldn't have a hope.

“Boring Glasgow”.😂

This post alone should ensure no-one on this forum takes a single post of yours seriously.

A ridiculous comment. Stupid, even.

Hopefully there'll be a reasonable chance of getting tickets for those choosing not to pay for packaged trips like this. I don't think the capacity is huge and, understandably, Aussies will no doubt be keen to watch a GP on home soil.

Great to have a new venue in the UK, 10-12k possible crowd makes it viable. Now see who wants to ride for Ipswich next season 😁

I know people will say Ipswich is a small track but I can remind you that way back in the early 90s Arena Essex was being mentioned about hosting a Grand Prix, the track was given FIM status at one point (might have been 94) and there was plans to improve the stadium accordingly and then Hackney became a thing and the late Terry Russell went for that option instead, with the newly named London Stadium host a GP round in 1995.

Its a shame for Belle Vue because IT IS the best track in the country, What i would have liked to have seen is two rounds back to back on the Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday, one in Manchester and the other in Ipswich, thus giving equal opportunity for fans in both the North and South to see a GP round.

Mark lemon and that’s what he said it costs to put a GP on at belle vue 

I think the GP organisers expect the host club to pay a really sizeable sum just for the privalige of hosting, that would be in those costs. With a maximum of 6k fans at the NSS this makes it hardly worth it financially. There should be more opportunity at Ipswich.
