2023 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification

The 2023 Individual Speedway World Championship Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge (held in 2022) was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the three riders that qualified for the 2023 Speedway Grand Prix. The series consisted of four qualifying rounds at Abensberg, Debrecen, Žarnovica and Nagyhalász and the Grand Prix Challenge at Glasgow.[1] Preliminary national qualification events included the 2021 American Final,[2] the Polish Golden Helmet[3] and the DMU qualifier.[4][5]
