World Speedway Team Championship

The World Speedway Team Championships have been held by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) since 1960 . From 2001 to 20118 the world championship was called the Speedway World Cup , previously it was called the Speedway World Team Cup , since 2018 the name has been Speedway of Nations and consists of two semi-finals and one final race. The semi-final and final runs are re-awarded annually.

Mode until 2011

The Speedway Team World Cup (Speedway World Cup) is held in several events within a week. A total of four events will be held at three locations to determine the team world champion. There are also the two qualification runs that are carried out beforehand. Four national teams with five drivers each take part in each event. Six teams have already qualified for the two semi-finals, the so-called events . The two winners of the qualification runs also make it to the semi-finals. The winner of a semi-final will go straight to the final. The second and third placed can still reach the finals via the race-off if they finish first or second there.

Changes in 2012

Since 2012, the teams have only consisted of four drivers. The host of the final is automatically qualified for this, which means that participation in the final is limited to the respective winners of the semi-finals and the race-off. The teams no longer consist of five drivers and a substitute driver, but rather four drivers without substitutes. Furthermore, the process was shortened from 25 to 20 heats.

Changes 2018

The World Championships have been taking place under the name Speedway of Nations since 2018 . The national teams compete in pairs, but the winners receive the title of team world champion.
