English speedway term for...

[Maveral]

Hello.

I'm curious if there is an english term for polish "zestaw startowy"? I found only phrases like "they got 1&3 in Heat 1" or "after coin toss Witches take Gates 2&4". Is there some short term for this? Maybe "heat line-up 1/2" or smth?

Cheers

Can you use "zestaw startowy" in context for us... give us an example sentence you would use it in, in Polish.

Before the match teams are doing coin toss to determine which gates they get during the match. It's called "Zestaw startowy 1" or "zestaw startowy 2". In the attached file you have an example from PGE Ekstraliga of "Zestaw startowy 1". For "Zestaw startowy 2" you swap riders from gates 1&2 and 3&4.

Let's say "zestaw startowy" is translated to "heat line-ups", so you can say "after coin toss Witches takes 1st heat line-ups".

In the UK a coin toss is done before the match by the 2 team captains and whoever wins chooses the preprogrammed gate choices by selecting 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 in heat one... or they elect to choose the gate positions in the final race. The announcer will then say to use column A or B in the printed match programme. Does that help?
