The 8 and 16 are U 23 and can only replace 1-5 team members unless the 8 /16 is Polish U 21 and then could replace 6/7 and 14/15.

Google translation of latest Speedweek article Can a tuner simply copy parts of an engine or an entire unit? GM sees itself duped by Femming Graversen and is preparing a lawsuit against the Dane. The Italian engine manufacturer GM is a top address in rail sports alongside Jawa and GTR. But almost no one of the drivers from the Speedway GP right down to the B license or the sidecar class builds the engine into the chassis of their bike the way it comes off the rack. Most of them trust the skills of tuners who conjure up one or the other horsepower from the already expensive aggregates. That costs a lot of extra money. Only the users of the engine from the Swiss Marcel Gerhard make an exception here. The GTR developed by the former long-track world champion should, according to him, be just as good as a fully tuned GM or Jawa, but last much longer and therefore cheaper. The problem in prototype sport in rail sport is the lack of fixed specifications regarding durability, apart from a maximum speed of 13,500 rpm in the European Championship and the World Cup. There is no trace of the homologation of an engine, i.e. the stipulation of a certain minimum number of pieces per racing series. "We don't want to tell people which parts they have to install by, for example, homologating a special piston," emphasized Armando Castagna, the highest track sports official of the FIM motorcycle association, most recently to SPEEDWEEK.com. And: "Our philosophy is that we open the market to as many manufacturers as possible." The dispute between GM boss Vittorio Marzotto and the Danish tuner Flemming Graversen, who looks after a number of top pilots, especially from the financially strong speedway GP scene, shows that engine manufacturers and tuners can get into each other properly . Graversen is said to have copied their engine exactly, according to GM, with which Marzotto does not agree and wants to file a suit against the Dane in court. In addition, the Italian warned the speedway pilots against using the services of Flemmig Graversen. You would never get original parts from GM again in the future, and bonuses for World Cup victories and other perks would also be canceled. Lukasz Malaka, journalist for the Polish website “po-bandzie.com.pl”, asked Vittorio Marzotto how far the case against Graversen had progressed. After that, Marzotto would have followed up with a top GP driver who, according to him, worked exclusively with Graversen, but has not yet received any feedback. Marzotto expects the intended driver to be intelligent enough to make the right decision, because his door could close forever. Marzotto also made it clear that there was no problem with someone buying their new or used GM and then hiring them at Graversen. However, if someone were to buy a copy of their GM, they would end up working with them permanently. Graversen would employ morally reprehensible practices. Therefore, GM's lawyers are currently preparing a lawsuit against Graversen.

From Sportowefakty(Google translation) The suspension of the track license in Gorzów is a consequence of the works that began at the stadium. Edward Jancarz. The club decided to expand the VIP lounges. So far, there have been 24 such spaces on the site. When finished, there will be 10 more. The problem is that the inhabitants of Gorzów did not report the entry of heavy equipment onto the track (this constitutes an interference in it). Now the track at the stadium Edward Jancarz will have to be re-verified. The question is when PZM will find time for it. Moreover, Moje Bermuda Stal Gorzów is threatened with disciplinary proceedings. Moje Bermuda Stal Gorzów decided to finance the construction of the beds from its own pocket, despite the fact that the building at ul. Śląska belongs to the city. According to CEO Grzyb, it is an investment. Although the reconstruction of the stadium will cost over a million zlotys, on each additional box Moje Bermuda Stal earns about 50 thousand. PLN per year. In total, the profit from the new boxes will amount to 500 thousand. PLN during one season only. Construction works at the stadium in Gorzów may take up to 2.5 months. This means that the boxes will not be ready for the start of the new season of PGE Ekstraliga, which is planned for April.
