History

The series was launched as the Speedway 250cc Youth World Cup. At launch it was limited to 250cc speedway bikes and for competitors 16 years of age or under, which has remained ever since. In 2018 it was renamed the Speedway World Youth Championship,[3] before changing names again in 2022 to SGP3.

The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Age limits

The maximum age is 16 years of age (finishing at the end of the year in which the rider celebrates his or hers 16th birthday).
