The FIM and BSI Speedway announced today that the newly added Lublin FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland will now be a double-header event, taking place Friday, 6 August in addition to the previously announced date of Saturday, 7 August, both at Speedway Motor Lublin, in Poland. As previously announced, this will mark the first time Motor Lublin Speedway will stage an FIM Speedway Grand Prix event.
Paul Bellamy, SVP and Managing Director of Motorsports Events at IMG, which operates the FIM Speedway Grand Prix series, stated: “We send our sincere ‘thank you’ to the city of Lublin, for stepping forward to host a second Grand Prix event, allowing our calendar to maintain 11 events for the season. The BSI team and Motor Lublin Speedway have worked hard to make this happen and we’re delighted to run two Grand Prix events in the city.”
Jakub Kepa, Speedway Motor Lublin President said: “We are witnessing a historic moment for our city. Hosting the biggest speedway event in the world - the FIM Speedway Grand Prix - is a distinction for both Lublin and our Club. We are all the more pleased that we will organize not one, but two rounds of the SGP series at the Speedway Stadium at Aleje Zygmuntowskie. Another opportunity to organize an event of such importance at our stadium may not be repeated again, so we are excited to have our attendees feel the amazing atmosphere for which Lublin is known for.”
