What is Coventry Cycle Speedway?
We are a sports club based in Coventry, West Midlands. We race single speed bikes, with no brakes for four laps around an oval dirt track.
The sport of Cycle Speedway grew out of the bomb sites post second world war. The modern day version of the sport requires athleticism, bravery and skill, as four riders take to the track for each race, all trying to come out on top.
It is very much a short dirt track version of velodrome racing, except contact is allowed when passing.

The British Indervidual Championships 2025 are now open for entries
Team Championships 21-22 June 2025![]()

Coventry sent 3 teams to the British team Championships at Ipswich and Kesgrave this Year. We were hopeful of sending an under 14’s team which would have been competitive, but in the end, Under 16’s, Womens and Open teams represented the club. ![]()

First up were the Under 16’s of Jude and YoannA, who, in an 8 team fixture were required to do 7 rides! Jude raced confidently to a 23 +1, Yoanna struggled initially having not raced competitively at this standard for some time, but was starting to look the part by the end. Overall, the team finished 6th, but were only 4 points off a medal in a very tight field. Yoanna took an improved confidence into the women’s event, riding to 15+1 from 6 rides, supported by Amy at 9+1. This placed them in 5th overall. ![]()

Sunday saw the open team take to the track in a 6 team 4 rider individual semi final, with 3 to qualify. Everyone took something away from the event. Jude raced to a superb 11 points from 4 rides, arguably his best open ride with improved anticipation/awareness and track placement at this level. Tom was very unlucky not to score a similar amount but a couple of unlucky contacts saw him score 7. He no doubt came away believing that he is of a competitive national standard. Amy came away with 7 points, her best ever open tally, being really focused throughout. Dan Drewitt AKA Mr Chairman came away with a sore knee – we wish him a good couple of days recuperation. It was good to have the company and support of Lee and Karen on the Sunday.
