The Track

The circuit itself was purpose built for speedway in 1996. The smooth granite surface is packed in on top of a clay base, perfect for getting beginners sliding quickly. It's ideal for 125, 250, 350 and 500cc speedway bikes (A bit big for 50 and 90cc although these are always welcome). The track has recently been measured at 206 metres and we have conducted a lengthy track program this year to widen the track to exceed the minimum SCB standards of 8 metres straights & 10 metres bends.  Currently we are widening the straights to 9 metres and corners 1 & 2 are 13 metres at their widest points, with turns 3 & 4 nearly 12 metres. Both corners are different to try and encourage beginners different styles. In the past six times world speedway champion Ivan Mauger commented on what an excellent track Lydd was. The track is purposely kept slick as we are a training track and if you want to learn to slide it is very flat and rider friendly.
