British Speedway Grand Prix, Cardiff, 24th - 26th August. There are still a few places left on this tour so if you are interested you need to book now!

We are running two coaches to this event so that people can have the choice of going to Somerset on the Friday evening for the Premier League Pairs or going straight to the hotel in Cardiff and maybe spend the evening out in the city. The choice will be yours. If you are interested get all your friends and family to come along and join us. It is a great weekend!

Ipswich Speedway is very pleased to welcome back Hawk Express Cabs as a Partner Sponsor for the 2012 season. Richard Morphew and his staff thoroughly enjoyed their speedway at Foxhall last year and regularly provided vehicles to take the riders on their after meeting victory parade. They were more than happy to sign up for a second term despite the obvious challenges that their business faces in the current economic climate. Full details of the extensive services they offer can be found on their website here: Hawk Express Cabs

The Keith Martin Group are also back for another season as a Partner Sponsor. The family run business have remained loyal to Ipswich Speedway for several years now following the tradition first established by the late Keith Martin himself. Details of the Keith Martin Group companies can be found on our website under 'Club Partners'.

Director of Speedway, Chris Louis, said "I am delighted that both companies are back for the 2012 season. This is great news for the club and it's fans as we look forward to a second campaign in the Premier League with the aim of going even further than last year.

As promised after last week's season preview by Ipswich 'Sackers' Witches captain Kevin Doolan we turn the spotlight on to two of our new signings from down under:

Rohan Tungate has put in a lot of preparation over the winter for his inaugural UK season and isn't planning on being a reserve in the Ipswich team for long. Based in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales he has been training a far bit and also racing whenever possible, which for him is equally important. Speaking from his Australian home he says "I enjoyed the Aussie Championship series; it went really well for me"

"I have been busy getting everything sorted before the start of the UK season. I hope to get off on a good start and keep the team up the point end of the field plus keep improving my average. Easy to say but it can be done! I think we have a really good team, not just the riders, everyone involved. I enjoyed the Ipswich track when I visited last year and can't wait to start entertaining the fans".
