The Individual Speedway Norwegian Championship is an annual speedway event held each year organised by the Norges Motorsportforbund (NMF). The first championship was held in 1938 in Trondheim and saw Ragnar C. Erichsen as winner.[1]
Lars Gunnestad has won the highest number of championships with ten victories between 1988 and 2003.[2][3][4][5]
The final of the Norwegian Championship regularly doubled up as the Norwegian qualification round for the Speedway World Championship from 1952 until 1975.[6][7]
If the Norwegian final was held in the Summer months, the qualification would be for the following year's World Championship.
Unless stated all riders are Norwegian.
