Would recommend to everybody as such an amazing time, and had fantastic seats. Would have been even better if there was time to actually meet them, but will be back next year!

Event was great - well organised. Nice to watch the practice the day before to get a feel for the riders and who to watch. The day was glorious. Seating well laid out, getting in easy- no silly queues to search bags and all that nonsense. Crowd were really into it. 2nd year I've been there - hope it keeps coming back.
Only downside is that I haven't been able to find any coverage on Sky or terrestrial TV. ..... although I think they were filming? Can get a half marathon from Cardiff - but not this great action from NZ - any clues, let me know!!

Gate one was the winner.

Favourite moment: DARCY WARDS 2ND LAST HEAT RACE - had some grip outside before it all got dragged back and rolled down to a one line track AGAIN @
Posted 26/03/2013

The track was groomed far too much shutting down passing lanes which had just developed by the 4 races before. This brought it back to a one lane procession led by gate one. The joke on the terraces was filling in the programs with the rider results before the race had started, 9/10 times we were right especially just after the grooming of the track had just taken place. The track was exactly the same the year before, over groomed, this frustrated the people who know better and makes the people who dont know better think this is the norm and bad mouth speedway for being processional.I feel that the public was robbed of good racing by the big guns who given a chance would take advantage of a developing track with dirt and grip building up on the outside. No doubt this will fall on deaf ears and and I will be trying to defend my beloved sport after next years GP saying it's not like that normally and explaining why there is such little passing due to over grooming. Had the track been banked a bit more going into turn one and the dirt allowed to build up for extra grip it would have become a more even start even possibly favoring gate 4 eventually. Please don't think I am just trying to be smart, I am genuinely concerned as my bike mad friends that I convinced to come along to their first speedway meeting last year weren't interested in coming this year saying that it was boring, no passing and to be fair I'm glad they didn't as they were right. Happy to put my money where my mouth is, I have a team of current and ex speedway riders with about 200 years combined, pulling their hair out in the stands ready to take over grooming duties, just say the word. One more thing, when the GP finished, that's when it should have started. the track would have held it's moisture and produced better racing along with a better atmosphere under lights and fans wouldn't be roasting in the hot sun. Also racing in and out of shadows is not the best, notice how the shaded part of the track was gripper and produced some passing.

$120 for a seat in the grandstand...someone was having a giraffe!
The seats were way too small with sod-all leg room to allow people to pass you easily. I went to last years event and was impressed enough to want to again sit in the grandstand.
I think next year I'll be in the cheap seats!

Extremely professional smoothly well run event.
World class with excellent venue which is a credit to Auckland
Must be kept on as an operational race circuit of world renown, all within the Auckland CBD
amazing.
Area must be very proud to be able to host such an event and to have it run so well.
Track was excellent with close racing. Again a credit to the organiser and the Auckland area.

Watching the FIM Speedway Grand Prix on telly is very good but being there is 100 times better. We are so far away from the rest of the world that most of us would never get the chance to see any of these races live. These are the best riders in the world and they performed spectacularly. The crowd were often on their feet and cheering the bike skills of the competitors. The promoters did an excellent job and I'll look forward to going again next year. I just hope Sky will be broadcasting the rest of the series.

The venue was great, the weather was great , & the racing was really great. Only down side was that it could have been put on the website beforehand that no chairs or chillybins were allowed. A bit disappointing to find out at the gates!! And the staff who labelled confiscated chairs,etc were a bit slack with their matching number stickers - our foldup umbrella had to be identified by sight as number on it was different to our sticker.

Once again this was a great event. The top 16 riders in the world turned on an unreal show. Well run event and something everyone involved with should be proud of. Auckland City Council, please let common sense provale. If we loose the GP we wont get it back. This is great for the profile of the sport in New Zealand and should not be lost.
