Ekstraligi, but without calculating the riders’ KSM, only within the points and bonuses they earn on the track. We also plan to introduce challenges in the game, such as building a team based solely on Polish riders without age restrictions.

Of course, the full-season classification with KSM and rules that applied in previous seasons will continue – concludes Przemysław Szymkowiak.
