Speedway is a fantastic night out and one of the world's most unique motor-sports. Riders from two teams compete against each other on 500cc methanol-fuelled bikes, with no brakes or gears, acceleration as fast as a Formula One car (0-60mph in approx. 3 seconds!) and capable of reaching speeds of up to 80mph.

The Ipswich Witches will be racing in the Premier League in 2012, the second tier of league racing in the United Kingdom.

We have several types of sponsorship and advertising available; these include air barrier banners, heat sponsorship and meeting programme advertising where your company can be viewed by up to 5,000 people per week. This exposure increases even further when action shots taken by our photographers are featured in local/national newspapers and websites throughout the season. Online advertising is available on this website which can have as many as 5,000 visitors on a meeting day. Our website address is clearly displayed on our rider's vans, which travel regularly throughout Europe.
