Due to a ban imposed by the German government on all outdoor events until August 31, 2020 as part of measures to stall the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), this year’s 2020 Aztorin German FIM Speedway Grand Prix, scheduled for May 30, has been postponed. This decision was made after careful consideration and consultation with the FIM, BSI Speedway, the German Motorsport Federation (DMSB) and the Bergring Arena promoter out of concern for the safety of all involved. All parties are studying alternative dates for the event and further details will be provided in due course. FIM Communications

Interesting, most of the the programmes out there for 1938......are in my collection.....actually they are mine......I think copied from the International Speedway Website.

The only sidecar death I remember was at Wimbledon during the National Press Trophy meeting in 1967.....Damn, I can ever remember his name Chris Jackson!

Me too.....1965

Testing me were you norbold? LOL I really don't remember too much about it though....but I was struck by the name of Hofmiester even at that young age. The first World Final I really do remember was 1962....with my childhood hero winning.

Yes I did, it was the first World Final I ever went to.....I was a young'un.

I have seen all but Payne, Close and Crutcher.....at least I don't remember them......

Pretty rude! They could have said Jerzy Szczakiel!!!!!!

There is nothing in the rules (this years rules) that states there must be a minimum....so ONE should be good!!!

FIM Team Speedway U21 World Championship that was scheduled to take place on 30 May, in Pardubice, Czech Republic is now postponed until 15 August.The final will take place as originally planned on 22 August in Outrup, Denmark.

Now now skidder, you know ALL rules are up to interpretation....depends on how much you can bend without getting caught......LOL

68 pages last year.....178 pages this year....Hmmmmm Looks like they have added all the individual, pairs, fours, U21 etc etc rules .....into the main document.

No Speedway now until at least June 15.... THE board members of the British Speedway Promoters Ltd are continuing to monitor the situation regarding the Coronavirus crisis on a regular basis.With the latest information from the government stating high risk groups of people should stay at home for 12 weeks, it is unlikely that that there will be any British Speedway events taking place before June 15, at least.The Board have to consider the public, their members, riders and officials, some of which will be included in the high risk group.It is the wish of the Board that every effort is made to start the new season at the first available opportunity and we have members of the association continuing to provide alternative fixture dates as the situation evolves.The British Speedway Promoters Ltd sends their best wishes to everyone at this incredibly difficult time.

My top Finals of all that I went to, not that they were the best but it would be '62 because my hero won it.......and '66 in Sweden, being a West Ham fan....Sverre Harrfeldt coming in runner-up......

I have removed the link.....

Smolinski says his goal is top six.......well done if he can do it.

Good one Rob......Thanks....I now have a picture of an "Incontinent cow" in my mind.......Thanks for the laugh!!!

Takes a bit of work but all the results for all the past years since 2005 are out on the Speedway GB website.... http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/historyarchive 2012 for example lists Round 6 at Sittingbourne in September......

I know a 24 rider, 4 per heat format has been used....the 1963 PLRC springs to mind........not sure I ever remember a 20 rider 4 per heat but I would guess it has occurred.

My guess is though, he will back out of racing in the GP Qualifiers........

OOps.....thought Curtis Sports still had them......they are sold out.... There is one out on eBay but I doubt you want to spend that kind of money on it!
