Sidetrack and Discovery Sports Events present
BRITISH FIM SPEEDWAY GRAND PRIX

The British FIM Speedway Grand Prix returns to the Principality Stadium, Cardff, this summer

The Event

Experience the highs, extraordinary skills, and nail-biting moments between 16 riders as they go head-to-head in over 23 races with just a single gear and no brakes, for the chance to win one of the most prestigious events in world speedway and move one step closer to World Championship glory.

Organisers have plenty of surprises lined up to toast two decades of World Championship motorsport in Cardiff – with a fanzone taking over the city on the Saturday, before racing gets started at 5pm.

And the action continues on Sunday, August 14 at 1pm, when the Principality Stadium hosts the FIM SGP2 of Great Britain – the second round of the revamped FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship. Entry to this meeting is included in the FIM British Speedway GP ticket price.

Principality Stadium Experience Hospitality packages are available for this event starting from £225.

The Venue

As the longest running third party event at Principality Stadium, the motorsport has become synonymous with Cardiff and fans from across the world will join the celebrations as speedway and this iconic venue mark 20 years of a thrilling association.

“Going back to Cardiff in August is really uplifting for everybody,” says Paul Bellamy, chairman of Sidetrack Ltd, which runs the FIM British Speedway GP on behalf of Discovery Sports Events. “Having been starved of Speedway GP for three years, we are expecting that everyone will want to come. It’s great to say, ‘we’re back!’ and we are expecting a bumper crowd.

“Another big thing we have for this year is the SGP2 event on the Sunday. Tickets for the FIM British Speedway GP will be valid for Sunday’s event at no extra charge. It is the first time we have staged two events in Cardiff. It’s a great way to celebrate our 20th anniversary.”
