I hate rumours, and I'm not one to start one, so this is more about finding the real story (if at all possible). Had heard that there was a possibility that Team GB were no longer contesting the teams champs due to bad blood following the World 240's at Rotorua, where Gb cars took eadh other out during their warm up races prior to finals night. Now, I wasn't at Rororua so can't even commect on what may have transpired there, if anything. Hopefully, someone who knows the real story can put this one away.

Ahhhhhhh the speedway rumour mill...........
What is true is that there are some differences between certain members of Team GB from past years, leading to not all previous members being available for the squad for this year's event. Those differences were evident long before the drivers arrived over here for the World 240's. I certainly can't comment on whether the team will still be at Palmy in two weeks time, other than to say a squad has been announced.

From what I saw there were no GB drivers taking each others out in the warmups , more a case of getting a bit out of control when getting used to the cars they were driving. Frankie Wainman certainly had the Mark flower car hooked up from the start.

Grandstand sold out virtually for both nights yet we dunno who we will be watching. Not maoning just putting it out there. I think that's a combination of a couple of things, including that the World 240's have just run and the Superstock GP is still to be held this weekend, both events including a number of potential teams racers. Added to that is the fact that so many of the country's top Superstocks are based out of PN these days, leaving many other tracks needing help to get a team together - most of that juggling cannot be done until it is known who has got what after this weekend's GP.

Opinion: A few tracks like to hold off naming their sides until closer to the event so as the team named is the FINAL side and the team that will show up etc. How often in the past have we seen teams named only to see multiple changes and juggling of team members etc. For the general public it is frustrating but as I'm made aware entries and team list are due this Saturday so a few more days patience might see more info available.
