Also referred to as the Motorstadion Abensberg, the venue hosted the 1985 Individual Speedway Junior European Championship. It was won by Per Jonsson on 14 July 1985, who later became a world champion.[8] The most prestigious speedway event to be held at the track was the first ever Speedway Grand Prix of Germany in 1995,[9] which formed part of the World Championship. The 1995 Speedway Grand Prix of Germany was won by the Dane Tommy Knudsen.[10]
