The Monster Energy SON returns on September 17 and 18, in Latvia, where the top three countries in each event will qualify for the Final. The 2021 calendars are subject to change due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Paul Bellamy, Senior Vice President of Motorsports Events at IMG, said: “We are hopeful we will deliver an unforgettable year of world championship action after what has been a tough 2020 for everyone. “Given that restrictions continue to change, the 2021 calendars remain subject to alteration. But despite all the challenges we faced, we were still able to stage some fantastic speedway this season and whatever 2021 brings, we are determined to bring our fans around the world more incredible racing. “We look forward to returning to the nations that were unable to stage racing this year and I am particularly pleased to see Togliatti host SGP action for the first time. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made our 2020 events possible, including our partners at the FIM. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2021.” 2021 FIM Speedway Grand Prix Calendar Date FMNR Event Venue Country 24 April TBA TBA TBA TBA 15 May PZM PZM Warsaw SGP of Poland Warsaw Poland 22 May DMSB German SGP Teterow Germany 5 June ACCR Czech Republic SGP Prague Czech Republic 19 June TBA TBA TBA TBA 17 July ACU Adrian Flux British SGP Cardiff Great Britain 31 July PZM Wroclaw SGP of Poland Wroclaw Poland 14 August SVEMO Swedish SGP Malilla Sweden 28 August MFR Russian SGP Togliatti Russia 11 September DMU Danish SGP sponsored by Ecco Vojens Denmark 2 October PZM Torun SGP of Poland Torun Poland 11 ROUTE DE SUISSE TEL +41 22 950 95 00 CH – 1295 MIES FAX +41 22 950 95 01 [email protected] FOUNDED 1904 WWW.FIM-LIVE.COM Monster Energy FIM Speedway of Nations Date FMNR Event Venue Country 17 September LaMSF Semi-Final 1 Daugavpil Latvia 18 September LaMSF Semi-Final 2 Daugavpil Latvia 16 October ACU Final Day 1 Manchester Great Britain 17 October ACU Final Day 2 Manchester Great Britain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About the FIM (www.fim-live.com) The FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) founded in 1904, is the governing body for motorcycle sport and the global advocate for motorcycling.
