 Share

Recommended Posts

Saw it on TC page on Facebook

 

Next month's Tong British GP is in doubt because the promotors have withdrawn 

Talks are ongoing it is reported to resurrect it 

 

Shame if it gets dropped

The 2016 trial was 2 days of competition, this year it is 1 day of practice/autographs/qualifying/faffing about  and 1 day of competition. That surely will reduce revenue from ticket sales.

I watched the qualification section in Spain and found the format entertaining. Seems like the qualifying in Japan was even more exciting, what with Dibs being the only rider to clean and have the fastest time,

Where are you thinking it could be held?

Anywhere but there. There are many great venues in the UK, with next to no man made crap. Who really wants to watch that? While i know some cant provide the provisions needed for a world championship, some can. 

Whatever happened to hawkstone?

Off the top of my head hawkstone have limited planning consent to a handful of weekends per year, thus it commands a relativity large fee to hire (for a mx venue) - for the limited financial means of a trials event this would be prohibitive

Newcastle???

Anywhere in Yorkshire,  well is Tong not in Yorkshire? 

Fort William,  been there but not financially viable for the organiser, especially under current single day format.

Hawkstone not available / too expensive.

Not sure why Bangor stopped.

Bangor stopped because the local authourity didnt feel it was justified in spending the money to get a world round there.

Nowhere in Newcastle is siutable.

I was asking for a specific venue not a "general location" , and you can see why your choices dont work as above. Its you that needs to keep up and answer the question @faussy
