New to Speedway?
What is speedway?
Four riders, four laps, no brakes. Speedway is motorcycle racing on an oval shale track — bikes hit 70mph and slide sideways through the bends. A team meeting is 15 short races (heats), with points for finishing positions, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
How long does a meeting last?
Around two hours. Each heat lasts about a minute, so there’s racing every few minutes — it’s fast, loud and great for short attention spans!
What should I bring?
Dress for the weather — much of the stadium is open-air. Earplugs are a good idea for young children. There’s a large free car park, and food and drink are available inside.
Do I need to book in advance?
You can pay on the gate, but booking online guarantees your spot and speeds up entry. Under-16s go free with a paying adult, making speedway one of the cheapest family nights out in sport.
