Английская Википедия:1968 Individual Speedway World Championship
The 1968 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 23rd edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Ivan Mauger won his first World title. Fellow countryman Barry Briggs finished second and Pole Edward Jancarz took the bronze medal.[7][8]
Format changes
The format of the Championship changed again for the 1968 event. It reverted back to the 1966 system whereby six riders from the Swedish section would qualify for the World Final direct to be held in Sweden. All other nations had to go through various events to establish the other ten riders to qualify for the final.
