There simply is no better LONG WEEKEND in Speedway for the real speedway expert than the CZECH GOLDEN HELMET extravaganza. In 2010 we take in 4 great meetings in a superb VALUE-FOR-MONEY EXTRAVAGANZA of speedway, featuring many of the World’s top riders together with a superb stay in PRAGUE. This extra long weekend gives you the best of both worlds. TOP CLASS SPEEDWAY and wonderful holiday destinations.

Friday 1 October 2010
Direct flights leave UK mid morning for the short 2-hour journey to PRAGUE. Arriving early afternoon we transfer to our brand new base at the 4 star EUROPA HOTEL in Pardubice. Built just 2 years ago this modern quality property is just over 10 minutes stroll from the main square of Pardubice. With modern rooms, a nice open bar area and quality inexpensive restaurant, yet in a quiet residential area, this is a hotel perfect for our stay.
Later we transfer by bus to the nearby huge PARDUBICE stadium in good time for the CZECH GOLDEN RIBBON event on Friday evening. This meeting is mainly for the younger riders, and many then transfer to the main GOLDEN HELMET meeting on Sunday afternoon.

SATURDAY
We are great personal friends of ESTVAN ERBAN the “main man” in Czech speedway and the owner of JAWA, who reserves us top stadium seats for all events. Just after midday we start with the WORLD JUNIOR FINAL featuring the World’s top youngsters. These days many of the world’s top racers come from Russia, and this will be a superb chance to see some of the top Under 21 riders from the emerging states.

SUNDAY
The CZECH GOLDEN HELMET with 6 riders in a race begins midday Sunday, and with such huge prizes all the many World-Class contracted JAWA riders give everything for the solid Gold helmet so treasured by all the major names. The stadium is packed with 15,000 fans, the viewing is superb, the racing always very competitive, the prices always cheap. What a weekend!
SUNDAY/MONDAY – PRAGUE (2 nights)
Straight after the GOLDEN HELMET meeting we leave for the 2-hour journey back to PRAGUE and our JURY’S HOTEL which is situated very close to the centre of historic PRAGUE. The city is a mecca for all tourists and we suggest that you take a stroll to the Old Town and enjoy the inexpensive restaurants and bars offering such wonderful food all still open late into the evening.
PRAGUE is a highly popular destination in Europe and the whole of Monday and part of Tuesday is kept free for your own sightseeing. On MONDAY NIGHT the CZECH SPEEDWAY INDIVIDUAL FINAL will be held at the nearby Marketa Stadium.

Tuesday 5 October 2010
Much of the day is kept free for you to enjoy this most wonderful city. Our flights depart late afternoon from the nearby Airport with arrival back at your local UK destination in the early evening.
