format of all the Individual Speedway World Championships will be modified,

with the addition of 3 heats. It will now consist of 20 heats plus 2

semi-finals and 1 final - The number of riders qualified from the 2004

Grand Final to the 2005 Speedway Grand Prix Series will be 2 – There will

be no qualifying system to the Speedway Grand Prix as from 2005. The riders

will be qualified according to their previous year’s classification or

promoter. (As from 2005, the Speedway Grand Prix Series will be run with 16

riders instead of the current 24).

 

Speedway World Cup: the final tournament will be held with 8 National teams

(instead of 12), in two qualifying Events, one Race-Off and the Final; all

events will be run with 4 teams (instead of 5). Consequently, a second

the Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup only, with homologated

silencers – Carburettor: all intake air must flow through the carburettor
