2001 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification
Prev:2000
Next:2002

The 2001 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the 12 riders that would qualify for the 2001 Speedway Grand Prix[1] to join the other 10 riders that finished in the leading positions from the 2000 Speedway Grand Prix.[2]

The format was similar to the previous year, in that 2 riders would qualify straight from the Intercontinental and Continental finals and 10 riders would qualify through the GP Challenge.

Peter Karlsson won the GP Challenge.[3]
