All six 2024 British Youth Champions will appear at the annual ‘Celebration of Speedway’ event in Coventry later this month.

Staged by British Youth sponsors Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club, the event takes place at the Brandon Club on Saturday January 18 (7pm).

The event is hosted by BSN’s Ian Brannan and will include presentations, Q&As and raffle along with a look ahead to 2025 with British Youth chief Neil Vatcher. Any riders’ families and sponsors of the British Youth are welcome to attend, with funds being raised to support the British Youth riders for the upcoming season.
