History

[edit | edit source]

The stadium has hosted several of the sport's premier events including the finals of the 1972 Speedway World Team Cup[5] and the 1981 Speedway World Team Cup.[6] In 1996, it hosted the 1996 Speedway Under-21 World Championship.[7]

On 14 September 2014, the 390-metre track record was broken by Martin Smolinski who recorded 64.5 sec in Olching Speedwaybahn. It is a record which remains unbroken as of 2024.[8]

In 2015, a new surface replaced the previous one.[2] In 2017, the stadium was selected as the venue for the semi final of the 2018 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification.[9]
