1967 Individual Speedway World Championship
The 1967 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 22nd edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
At Wembley in front of a 70,000 crowd Ove Fundin won a record fifth title, one year after Barry Briggs had equalled his record in 1966. Fellow Swede Bengt Jansson took silver and New Zealander Ivan Mauger took bronze, improving on his fourth place position the previous year.[7]
Format changes
The format of the Championship changed for the 1967 event. It reverted back to the 1965 system whereby riders from the European Final and British/Commonwealth Final would qualify for the World Final to be held at Wembley Stadium in London. However the European Final would now see 10 riders qualifying for the final.
