Star Riders' Championship
- Star Riders' Championship
The Star Riders' Championship was the forerunner of the Speedway World Championship and was inaugurated in 1929. For the first year it was split in to two sections, Britain and Overseas, as it was felt that the Australians and Americans were too strong for the British riders.
The format changed over the years until by 1935 it was run in the 16 riders 20 heat formula that was to become the recognised formula for the World Championship and most other individual events until the advent of the Grand Prix in 1995. When the World Championship was inaugurated in 1936, the Star Riders' Championship ceased.
