Grand Prix Wildcard Racing Numbers

[a4poster]

For individual Grand Prix’s can you tell me what number race jacket a wild card would use or are they able to use their own riding number?

For example Zmarzlik is 95, Madsen is 30 etc.

Thanks.

The Wild Card at each round is always allocated No 16, the Nominated Substitute riders can apply for personal racing numbers.

The relevant FIM regulation is as follows:

Each Rider accepted for the FIM SGP World Championship will be allocated a GP number between 1 and 15, which will be valid for the SGP World
Championship of that year. In general, this GP number will reflect the Final result of the previous year’s FIM SGP World Championship.
In each Grand Prix Meeting riding number 16 will be allocated to the Wild Card rider and riding numbers 17 and 18 to the Track Reserve Riders.
The allocated GP number will be used to resolve any eventual ties were the lowest riding number is deemed to be the better placed Rider.
Additionally, the 15 permanent and 7 substitute SGP Riders may apply to use their own personal racing numbers on their race jacket and bikes. They may choose any riding number with a maximum of 3 digits provided that it has not previously been used by another SGP Rider over the past 2 seasons, the number cannot start with a 0. Riding numbers 1 to 22 are reserved for the use of FIM only.
To request a specific personal racing number the Rider must send an application to FIM within a set deadline. Should more than one Rider request the same number, preference will be given to either the Rider who has a clear history of adopting that number, or if this is not the case for either Rider, then the higher ranked Rider will be allocated this number. Other riders will then need to select an alternative number. Riders who have not requested a specific personal riding number within the deadline will be required to use their allocated GP number.
The FIM SGP Promoter will supply the riding number jackets and it is compulsory for each Rider to wear this riding number jacket at all times during TV Interviews, Draws, Qualifying Practice, Parade, Press Conferences, Racing, Prize-Giving Ceremony and in the pits area.
The covering of any part of the riding number jacket in any way is not permitted. Shoulder lapels are permitted but cannot cover any logos or adverts. Where a rider wears a neck brace, the neck brace must be free of any advertisements.
All Riding Number Jackets will need to be signed out when received and signed back in when returned by the Riders mechanic or representative to a collection point to be confirmed by the Race Director at each event.
The Rider is responsible for his riding number jackets and the cost of any riding number jacket not returned will be charged to the Rider and deducted from the Prize Monies.
