Golden Helmet
The 2024 Golden Helmet organised by the Polish Motor Union (PZM) was the first major event of the 2024 season, with Poland's national coach selecting the participants.[4] The winner Dominik Kubera and 2nd to 4th places sealed a place in the 2025 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification.[5] Patryk Dudek was subsequently nominated as the Polish Federation Wild Card to take Poland's fifth berth for the qualifiers.[6] The event also acted as a preliminary qualifier for the 2024 Speedway European Championship, with Kubera, Woryna, Pawlicki, Cierniak and Janowski earning their places in the SEC Qualifiers.[7] However Kubera was forced to hand back his place as a current 2024 Speedway Grand Prix rider, leaving Piotr Pawlicki to take Poland's last place.[8]
