Speedway Grand Prix of Australia


The Speedway Grand Prix of Australia is a speedway event that was a part of the Speedway Grand Prix Series.

The inaugural event, run on a 400 metres (440 yards) long temporary track, was won by American rider Greg Hancock, from Englands Scott Nicholls, with Australian Jason Crump finishing third. The Australian GP was the 10th and final round of the 2002 Speedway Grand Prix series.

In spite of a number of top Australian riders competing, including Australian Champions Crump, Leigh Adams, Ryan Sullivan and Sydney born 1990 World #3 Todd Wiltshire, attendance for the event held at the 2000 Olympic Stadium was estimated to be around 31,500, well short of the expected attendance of 50,000.
