Oceania Speedway Sidecar Championship postponed to 2021

The 2020 FIM Oceania Speedway Sidecar Championship has been delayed due to State Government COVID-19 restrictions across Australia.

Originally scheduled for 31 October, 2020, at Gillman Speedway, South Australia, the championship will now be held on 17 April, 2021, at the same venue.

The Speedway Riders Association of SA remain as host club for the rescheduled event, which slots in a week ahead of the 2021 Australian Speedway Sidecar Championships, which has also been rescheduled due to COVID-19 (the 2021 FIM Oceania Speedway Championships for solo riders is set to be held on 30 January, 2021, at Gillman Speedway).

FIM Oceania President, Glen Williams said: “Across the world, many FIM regional and FIM world championships have been cancelled or delayed by the effects of this global health crisis and the Oceania region is not immune to this situation. But it still comes as a blow to all that the 2020 FIM Oceania Speedway Sidecar Championship will be delayed until next year.

“Our thanks to Gillman Speedway and Motorcycling Australia for working hard to confirm a new plan and providing Speedway Sidecar riders throughout Oceania with a new date for this exciting championship.

“Speedway Riders Association of SA and Gillman Speedway have hosted this championship for the past few years and have always delivered a brilliant event which welcomes a great crowd and close racing. FIM Oceania looks forward to seeing the riders back on track in 2021.’’
