CALENDAR
made by Kuba
So, the competition. Most of you probably know what Speedway is. This is the competition where four people on bikes are driving on an oval, dirt track. We have been doing this series in GeneRally for 3 seasons, but it was always available to Poles. Until now.
Well, the series will still be hold on our board – GeneRally Polska (http://www.generally.pl), not on GRIF. But we are now working with translating everything connected with SGP to English so you can participate here. And the most important things, like results, Login System links etc. will be uploaded in this thread in GRIF, so don’t worry – if you don’t want to visit GRPL frequently, you don’t have to.
How does the series work?
If you know something about real SGP, you will know that there are always 16 riders, they compete in 20 rides (each driver rides in 5 rides). 8 best from Main Event participate in 2 Semi-Finals, where 2 best from each SF ride in Final. Riders get 3-2-1-0 points in each ride. Our series works very similar.
Because there may be only 16 riders in each Grand Prix, before every GP there will also be hold Qualifying. 8 best Qualifying riders qualify into GP, so do 8 best from overall classification.
It is in detail explained in spoiler below.
There is a Login System using a two-character code.
Where can I download the game package for SGP?
Here: http://generally.pl/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1878 (you don't need to login to download!)
Sorry, I can't upload it here - it's 5,37MB, limit on GRIF is 2MB.
Each tracks have 4 versions, so you can start from each starting pole – 1 is the inside one, 4 is on the outside. The calendar is based on one from real SGP.

Sporting Regulations are so long, but I have no idea how everything works in SGP.
Well, yes, they are quite long: http://generally.pl/viewforum.php?f=58. That’s why I prepared a short summary of all rules, which will give you a possibility to start. It’s below.
Applications, helmets, nations
There are 8 nations available for you to choose in Speedway Grand Prix: Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, United Kingdom, Poland, Russia, Sweden, United States. But nations have nothing to do with your real one, they are only like teams. Nations will have almost equal number of riders in each and it depends on number of players who signed in. Nations will be chosen in order depending to pre-season tests, so 8 best players will choose 8 different nations etc. Each driver also has his own helmet, which he will choose when choosing his nation and it may be white, red, yellow or blue.
Game settings
Race length is always 4 laps, tyre wear 30%, fuel consumption 30%, damage 60% and ghost car must be off. Fuel mass depends: it’s 50 kg in Qualifying and Main Event, 25 kg in Semi-Finals and 0 kg in Final.
Grand Prix scheme, deadlines
One Grand Prix consists of 4 stages: Qualifying (Sunday), Main Event (Wednesday), Semi-Finals (Friday) and Final (Sunday). Each one you can send to 20:00 (time in Poland, UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer), you may send them later, if the results are not done yet.
In Qualifying and Main Event, you must send 4 saves in a ZIP archive, each save done from another starting pole. In Qualifications all times are summed up, in Main Event riders compete in 20 rides according to this table: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1g1 ... gpoles.png (each player take part in 5 rides, but you only send 4 saves - one of them is taken two times in results).
After sending your ME saves, you should write a message to Series Administrator (Lerhond) on GRPL or GRIF in which you will point which starting pole is your favourite, which is second favourite etc. (e.g. “3, 4, 2, 1”), so it will be considered when determining starting poles for SF and F.
In Semi-Finals and Final, you must send one GAM file with your ride from a starting pole, which you should ride depending on ME or SF results. Starting pole for each rider is published with ME or SF results.
Login System
Well, there is one. The old one, with two-character code. It was modified by us a bit, so now you can send your save on the site which shows the code and there is also a time counter.
Classifications
In a Grand Prix event, 4 first players are classified by Final results, 2 next were third in SF and they are classified by points they collected and so do next two. Places 9-16 are determined by points collected in ME.
In overall classification, just all points from all rides from the whole season will be summed up.
In nations classification, points of two best players of each nation in according GP will count to nation’s points sum.
