It was the first under the promotion of IMG, who had purchased series organisers Benfield Sports International (BSI). Event format The format for 2007 was a revision of that used in 2006, with 16 riders taking part in each Grand Prix and over the course of 20 heats each rider racing against every other rider once. The top 8 scorers advanced to a semi-final and from each semi-final the 1st and 2nd placed riders advanced to the Grand Prix final. All rides counted towards Grand Prix points totals, including the semi-final and final, which counted as double (6-4-2-0) and therefore the maximum points for a single Grand Prix was 24 (5x heat wins, semi final win and final win). This scoring revision was introduced as a result of comments made during 2006 that the four finalists received too many points compared to the losing semi-finalists who received little benefit compared to the 9th placed non-qualifier.http://www.speedwayworld.tv/en/sgp/a7292 Benfield Sports International Olsen pleased with new system 2007 2008-11-08 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070927213912/http://www.speedwayworld.tv/en/sgp/a7292 2007-09-27 This format also meant that the winner of each Grand Prix may not be the rider who scores most Grand Prix points from each race.
