Edinburgh Monarchs star Dan Thompson, as well as Glasgow Tigers duo, Chris Harris and Leon Fint, will feature as speedway is to makes a return to free-to-air television with this Saturday’s Cab Direct British Final at Belle Vue (7pm) to be screened by ITV4 and ITVX.
Then, top events such as the World Final, British Final and international Test Matches were regularly featured, bringing the sport to the widest possible audience and making household names out of many of the riders.
Securing the backing of the UK’s leading taxi supplier, Cab Direct, is yet more positive news for the event as the company continue to extend their support for British Speedway.
Peter Facenna, managing director of Cab Direct, said: “We’ve been proud supporters of British Speedway for several years through our sponsorship of the Cab Direct Championship, so it’s fantastic to see the British Final return to free-to-air television.
He added: “Speedway has deep roots in communities across the UK, and we’re proud to support an event that celebrates the very best of British Speedway.”
