Popular in continental Europe and the UK, speedway is one of the most exhilarating motorsports you can watch and bet 🫰 on.

The motorcycle sport involves adrenaline junkies negotiating flat oval dirt tracks in an anti-clockwise direction on single-gear bikes, which can 🫰 go from nought to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds. Riders take advantage of the dirt surface by sliding their 🫰 bikes sideways into the bends using a method known as broadsiding, helping them to maintain momentum and power down the 🫰 straight sections of the track.

Speedway Races

Speedway races (also known as heats) are four laps long, with two teams of two 🫰 riders competing for pole position. Some races feature six riders, but this is rare as most modern speedway tracks are 🫰 too narrow to accommodate the additional riders safely.

Home team riders wear red and blue helmets, while visiting riders wear white 🫰 and yellow/black helmets. The starting area is split into a grid of four equal sections, with riders from each team 🫰 taking their place in alternate grids.
