“The forgotten Champions”

Danish Championships in solo- sports- and standard classes.
1932 – 1973

 

1947 – 1973:
The period reflected the postwar motor sport’s development and in some ways the general population’s motorization, first with older vehicles that had been preserved during the war and resurrected to honor and dignity. Later with new vehicles in line with the increasing importation.
Many riders used the same bike for daily transportation and leisure applications for various forms of motor sport.

In the sixties the audience’s interest in motor racing diminished and therefore also the number of active riders.
When the interest after 1971 began to return, it was almost exclusively the special class that got  influx of new riders.
The last Championship was settled in 1973 in the 250 cc. as the only class.

The Championship meetings were characterized by many classes with engine capacity from 50 cc to 500 cc. solo bikes, that all were petrol powered as opposite to the special classe’s methanol.

The boundaries of standard classes were floating, as changes on the motor bikes were allowed. Just the frame and engine had to be identical to the brand, the machine was notified at. It was up to the technical steward to determine if a bike could be approved ad standard, leading some times to protest.

Some brands had sports models that not differed from standard models except for a higher compression ratio and higher HP effect.
In some cases these sport models rode in a separate class.
