Inaugurated in 1961 as a qualifying round of theSpeedway World Championship it was open to riders from Britain and the Britishdominions.[3] It was initially dominated by riders fromNew Zealand such asBarry Briggs andIvan Mauger because of the British Final forming part of the World Speedway championship qualifying rounds.[4] Briggs and Mauger were multiple world champions. It was not until 1975 that the final was restricted to British riders. Countries such as Australia and New Zealand then held their own World Individual Speedway championship qualifying rounds.
