We are presenting to you a new cycle in which we tell you a few words about stadiums at which the particular rounds of Speedway Grand Prix will take place in 2024. We start with Gorican. In this city on Saturday 27th of April the first tournment of SGP in this season will take place.
The speedway stadium isn’t exactly in Gorican. It’s in locality close to the city, in Donji Kraljevec. The object was built and gave into utility in 2005. The creation of the stadium was finalized by Zvonimir Pavlic, father of a former speedway rider Jurica Pavlic. The stadium is used only for speedway matches.
At the beginning there were only 5000 seats. But in 2010 it was enlarged to 10000 seats. It was possible to do because boxes on both arches were built. There are also 300 VIP boxes and 2000 parking places.
In 2010 and 2012 the Croatia Grand Prix tournments were organized at the Gorican Stadium. In 2013 on round of Speedway European Championship were organized here. Before the season many riders use the hostility of Zvonimira Pavlic, who let them train on this stadium. In 2022 the SGP tournment is here again.
The last time when the riders were fighting in Grand Prix on Croatian track, was on Saturday 29th of April in 2023. The Slovakian rider was eighth then. Eight points in the main round gave him promotion to semifinal. Unfortunately in twenty first race Martin Vaculik was fourth, behind Jason Doyle, Robert Lambert and Mikkel Michelsen. He dropped out of the rivalry in the final.
