Humphrey Appleby Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 1 hour ago, the outsider said: Hi I've just found my copy of Speedway Promoter on floppy disk. Only problem now no floppy disk drive. Has anyone managed to transfer the floppy disk files to a laptop running Win XP. If so I presume you used a Floppy Disk Reader can anyone recommend a FDR that would do the job. Would be great if I could play Speedway Promoter after all these years. Remember it being about the best Speedway management game then or since. Thanks. The problem may be that the floppy is no longer readable if it's more than a few years old and depending on how it was stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lghornets Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Came upon this thread during a long odyssey to find a copy of Speedway Promoter. We played this game religiously as teens, and despite the limitations, was an absolute cracker. Many a late Friday night after a meeting at Oxford spent on this beauty. Looks like it’s been a while since this thread was updated, but if anybody has a copy of the files that they’d be willing to share, we’d be made up.

Hackett Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 There is plenty of scope for a speedway game - Speedway challenge on Android / Iphone is a decent effort. With the success and support of the sport in Poland no doubt a Football Manager type game with graphics like the phone game would work or go the alternative route and full interaction and racing mode like MotoGP or MotoX games would succeed to a degree.

I had a copy and never got it to work, something that would work on a modern pc/laptop/tablet would be amazing.. There are Youtube guides on how to get the old Championship Manager games and the library that you can choose from looks extensive, could be worth looking at those process' to see if its available, I'll post the link if I can dig it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Davis Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 For those looking for a speedway game, speedway challenge 22 is available on the App Store/Google play.

Sp33dy89 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 (edited) Hey all, sorry to necro an old thread but thought it might be something some of you are interested in. I'd been monitoring a game over on Twitter https://x.com/SpeedwayClubMan that was being developed by a few guys from Poland. They released version 1.0 on 30th Sept and looks promising, understandably due to licensing they can't have real names of riders and teams but seems easy enough to edit it and I have done a first draft which I know I've missed bits out of. I'm sure some of you guys would enjoy giving it a try Downloads – Speedway Club Manager Edited October 6 by Sp33dy89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I linked the tables to MS Access using the 64 bit SQLLite3 ODBC driver and automated the edit for the rider names, using a function, as there was a structure to it, couldn't see any structure to the team names, so did a manual edit, but ran out of Speedway team knowledge towards the end of the table lol Edited October 9 by IainB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider names were actually quiet easy to spot. last two characters are moved to the front with then capitalise the first letter only Used the function below in google sheets =UPPER(LEFT(RIGHT(A1, 2), 1)) & LOWER(MID(RIGHT(A1, 2), 2, 1)) & LOWER(LEFT(A1, LEN(A1) - 2)) Edited October 9 by Sp33dy89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't install on Windows 10 or W8 or W7 but you may have luck with W2000. It definitely works on W95 , W98 and XP (edit: thanks for info below) No idea about installing on Apples. Does this game still work? I spent so much of my youth on this game and wonder how it can be used in todays age. What a basically time losing game. Would be interested if you have access to it.

MassMarauder Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 OK - I don't do discord, supposedly there's a new MOD file for the updated release of SCM. Is it much different to the MOD file I managed to get already? Will I need the new MOD file if I download the patch release file. BTW - I am still playing Flying Shale.. will be updating all the riders with their 2024 averages v. soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Shale would be good to try edit but I can't bring myself to purchase it with the messing around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
