Speedway career
editMajstr partnered Jan Holub I to the World Pairs final at the 1969 Speedway World Pairs Championship.[3] He was also part of the Czechoslovakian team that reached the final of the 1970 Speedway World Team Cup.[4][5]
Like many Czech riders of the time, the Czechsolovak authorities rarely allowed riders to compete for British league teams but they did allow sides such as Young Czechoslovakia to tour the United Kingdom, which allowed Majstr to race in Britain in 1969[6] and 1970.[7]
Majstr reached the final of the Continental Speedway final in 1970, as part of the 1970 Individual Speedway World Championship.[8]
