Mode

Until 1995

Was introduced until 1995, the new Grand Prix mode, you had to qualify via a mehrrundiges qualification system for the World Cup Final drivers. Therefore for each qualifying round several runs, called heats, á 4 drivers are performed. The winner of the heats got 3 running points, the second 2 points, 1 point, the third and the last one heats no point. The term points were added up and each top point moved into the next qualifying round and the final. It was different from round to round and from year to year, as many drivers moved in eventually in the next round.

In 1955 the qualification system was revised so that there was now "regional" qualifications. That is were its own qualifying rounds for example, the zones of Scandinavia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, UK, Australia and the United States carried out, one of which moved in the best ones in Semi-Finals or directly in the final.

From 1995

For the 1995 season, the mode has been completely redesigned. The previous system was abolished and the Grand Prix system similar to the systems of Formula 1 or MotoGP, has been introduced. Here are events in different cities, so-called Grand Prix performed. In 1995, 6 Grand Prix the event calendar, while 2009 will be held already 11 Grand Prix.

After each driver has completed five heats, take the top eight riders from the semifinals, move each of the two best finals and determine the winner of the Grand Prix. For a Grand Prix beginning, there were the following Grand Prix points distribution:

  • 25 for the winner, 20, 18, ​​16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2 ​​and 1 for the sixteenth.

2005, the system was further modified. Now, not Grand Prix points were awarded for being ranked, but the running points ( 3 for the first one heats, 2, 1, 0) would benefit from such as Grand Prix points. The points that are made ​​in the final of a Grand Prix will be doubled, so it is theoretically possible that the Grand Prix winner in the end fewer points for the overall ranking gets, for example, as the runner-up.

On a Grand Prix start 16 drivers. 15 drivers are set for the entire season as a permanent driver and take part in every Grand Prix. In addition, a wild-card rider who usually comes from the host country and the organizer for the wild-card receives per Grand Prix. Eight of the 15 permanent riders are determined from the final standings the previous season. The first eight obtain the solid starting place for the coming season. Three more are determined through a qualification system. There are four quarter-finals will be played, collect the best eight riders each in the two semifinals. From the semi-finals draw back the top eight in the final Grand Prix Challenge one in which it ultimately comes to permanent places in the Grand Prix season. The best three of the Challenge will receive these permanent seats. Four other drivers for the permanent starting positions are determined by the Grand Prix organizers and the FIM.
