FIM Speedway Grand Prix To Time With Aztorin

The FIM Speedway Grand Prix has named watch brand Aztorin as official timing partner ahead of qualifying revolution for SGP 2019.

As part of the agreement, all SGP bikes will be fitted with transponders for the first time. Aztorin also continues as official SGP watch partner, as well as being title sponsor of this year’s German FIM Speedway Grand Prix in Teterow.

BSI Speedway Managing Director Torben Olsen said: “Bringing effective timing technology into the SGP series and making Friday’s practice session even more meaningful have been important goals for us, and it’s great to work with Aztorin to make this happen. In the tests we carried out last season, riders were truly fascinated by the times they clocked and what this meant for them. So I have no doubt the Friday qualifying sessions will add even more drama to an SGP weekend.

“The FIM Speedway World Championship may still be won on points, but recording some rapid lap times will certainly help riders achieve their goals. I’m sure fans will watch the sessions with interest.”
