squall Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Greetings one and all, British Speedway Sliders is heading into it's 14th season, with league sign ups underway until September 1st. Do you enjoy playing speedway games? Why not race against fans from around the world on your computer? Fill in those blank, speedway-less, winter evenings by sticking your mate in the fence. Feel like a star by blasting round the boards to grab the win on the line. As well as being part of a team vying for a league championship, hunt for individual glory in the world championships and grand prix series. Click HERE, sign up, and jump into action. Head on over HERE and follow our Facebook page, where you can find videos of some cracking races. Hope to see some new faces soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 To add to Squalls post, beginners are fully welcomed. It's not a game that is easy to pick up initially, but with a bit of practice it will suddenly 'click'. Players of all age groups are welcome, last season we had players as young as 12 and as old as 84 (Hobnob). Everyone who signs up will be allocated a team place, regardless of ability. Existing riders have their own averages, new comers generally start as lowly reserves, just as in real life. There are friendly servers held regularly in the lead up to the season where you can hone your skills against real opponents, chat, and learn from more experienced players. Once the league starts teams will have their own practices where again, new players can be taught and nurtured by their captain. It's a great experience and as close as many of us will get to the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes four hours, you keep changing the rules, people headbutt each other, and others just have it on in the background??? Sorry, I've been biting my tongue for hours...

Jason.C Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 To add to squall & BW's posts, the game really is quite addictive. We have a huge selection of tracks, ranging from British past & present, some fantastic Polish, Swedish & Danish circuits & a separate GP folder. We also have some very obscure venues stretching from the USA, Croatia,Russia, Estonia, & way down under to NZ & Australia! The community is very welcoming and we look forward to welcoming new members soon. The best is that is completely FREE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason.C Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 It is rather simple when you look at it, but I can tell you now that several guys have put in a huge amount of work over the years and it is nothing short of painstaking!

Cj69 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Had many great seasons playing this and can be highly addictive. Time constraints and lack of a laptop stopping me joining up again for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'd love X box or playstation to bring out a speedway game, but I probably won't live long enough to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Fantastic game, I played it for several seasons but haven’t for a while as I have nothing to play it on nowadays. Fantastic playability and fun as well as occasionally making you want to throw your laptop through the nearest window If you are even mildly interested I urge you to download it and have a go.
