{{Motorsport season |title = Individual Speedway World Championship |link = Individual Speedway World Championship |year = 1978 }}The 1978 Individual Speedway World Championship. British QualificationThe British qualifying rounds for the World Championship doubled up as qualifying rounds for the Volkswagen/Daily Mirror Grand Prix. Therefore, many non-British riders such as Ivan Mauger and Phil Crump rode in these meetings scoring points towards the Volkswagen/Daily Mirror Grand Prix qualification - but their scores didn't count towards World Championship qualification.
