Overseas Final
The Overseas Final was a Motorcycle speedway Final sanctioned by the FIM as a qualifying round for the Speedway World Championship between 1981 and 2001.[1]
Introduced to the World Championship in 1981, it served as a qualifying round for Commonwealth and American riders. The Overseas Final was originally intended to replace the Commonwealth Final, but stayed on the World Championship calendar when the Commonwealth was re-introduced in 1986.[2][3]
