Clarification of race day schedule- all UK times Official qualifying practice & start number selection 12pm-1.15pm Opening ceremony 5.49pm 1st heat 6.04pm 6 QUALIFYING PRACTICE Date and time of the qualifying practice must be clearly stated in the SR. Qualifying practice is compulsory for the riders. Riders taking part in qualifying practice must do so within the official qualifying practice time schedule for each SGP meeting. Riders will be divided into groups of 3. Each rider will have three runs. Each Qualifying practice will commence according to a draw made (before qualifying practice) to determine qualifying practice order, unless specifically ordered otherwise by the race director. Each run will be of a maximum two (2) minutes duration determined by the referee. If the Qualifying practice is interrupted before all runs are accomplished and the remaining runs cannot be completed, then the results of the last fully completed round of runs will decide the order the riders will be called to make the starting number selection. If all riders have not taken a run, then the draw made for qualifying practice order will determine the race day starting number draw. Each rider must make himself ready in the lining-up zone, within the time limit of his group. On the order of the race director, he will be allowed to enter the track. Riders must practice according to the official qualifying practice order (1- 3/4-6 etc.). However, if the rider is not ready, he will miss that run. The race director may change the qualifying practice schedule according to the circumstances if he feels this is necessary. Managers, team members, mechanics or machines etc. are not permitted on the centre green. It is forbidden to make practice starts on the corners or on the starting gate straight. No starting practice with the starting gate in operation will be provided. The race director will decide on watering, grading etc. of the track according to the conditions. The weather conditions, the conditions of the track surface or other circumstances may dictate alterations to this procedure. Qualifying practice may be partly or totally cancelled, which may be decided only by the FIM international jury.

Interesting from the Extraleague today(translated) Ekstraliga Żużlowa in connection with the process of verification of the match of the 2nd round of PGE Ekstraliga FOGO UNIA Leszno - MOJE BERMUDY STAL Gorzów of April 17, 2022 asked the GKSŻ for interpretation of Art. 92 sec. 3 of the Speedway Sport Regulations in terms of its correct application in relation to the verified match and the situation that took place in the 15th race of the competition. Further decisions of Ekstraliga Speedway in the pending proceedings regarding the match will be made after the interpretation of GKSŻ. Edit Just to clarify(if needed) the management board of the Extraleague have asked the Speedway arm(GKSZ) of the PZM to investigate if the happenings and decisions in heat 15 were carried out within the rules and they won`t officially verify the final result until they get the report back.
