1999 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification | |
---|---|
The 1999 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the 14 riders that qualified for the 1999 Speedway Grand Prix[1] to join the other 8 riders that finished in the leading positions from the 1998 Speedway Grand Prix.[2]
The format was similar to the previous year, in that 4 riders would qualify straight from the Intercontinental and Continental finals and 8 riders would qualify through the GP Challenge. The remaining two places would go to Billy Hamill and Robert Dados (world U21 champion) who were seeded through.
Leigh Adams won the GP Challenge.[3]
