Sport Speedway Motorcycle Motorbike Racing Germany
Description
Original vintage sport poster from the 11th international Sandbahn Rennen motorbike race in Germany that featured top riders from 9 nations. The vent took place on 29 September 1968. Great illustration of a man riding a number 6 motorbike with firestone and phoenix billboards in the background. Motorcycle speedway, usually referred to as speedway, is a motorcycle sport involving four and sometimes up to six riders competing over four anti-clockwise laps of an oval circuit. The motorcycles are specialist machines which use only one gear and have no brakes; racing takes place on a flat oval track usually consisting of dirt, loosely packed shale, or crushed rock (mostly used in Australia and New Zealand). Competitors use this surface to slide their machines sideways, powersliding or broadsiding into the bends. On the straight sections of the track the motorcycles reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (110 km/h). There are now both domestic and international competitions in a number of countries including the Speedway World Cup whilst the highest overall scoring individual in the Speedway Grand Prix events is pronounced the world champion. Speedway is popular in Central and Northern Europe and to a lesser extent in Australia and North America. A variant of track racing, speedway is administered internationally by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). Domestic speedway events are regulated by FIM affiliated national motor sport federations. Fair condition, creases, paper losses, tears, folds, staining. Country: Germany , year of printing: 1968, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 84x59
