Speedway racing’s origins can be traced back to the first event, on 15 December 1923 at Maitland Showground. The original race – a four-lap, four-rider sprint around the showgrounds trotting track, set the standard by which the sport has maintained for almost 100 years.
Speedway motorcycles are bespoke racing motorcycles, with single-cylinder engines, no gears and no brakes. Engines range from 125cc (juniors) through to the World Championship spec 500cc bikes.
Speedway competition takes place on oval dirt tracks ranging from around 300m to 460m, with spectators treated to incredible side-by-side racing, as riders slide their way through the corners at high speed. Races still to this day consist of four riders, racing over four laps, with points scored based on finishing position (1st – 3 points, 2nd – 2 points, 3rd – 1 point, 4th – 0 points)
