Speedway spectacular to hit Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium

25th May 2011

Fast and furious family fun, the FIM Doodson British Speedway Grand Prix at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium is right up there with the biggest events in the British motorsport calendar.

Tickets are on sale for this year's event – which will take place on Saturday June 25th and it promises to be part of one of the most competitive GP seasons ever - with four World Champions: Tomasz Gollob, Jason Crump, Nicki Pedersen and Greg Hancock, among those battling for the title.

British rider Chris Harris will be looking to repeat his 2007 winning Cardiff performance as the best riders in the world go full throttle in front of thousands of fans.

In an event that promises to be full of drama and guaranteed thrills, the riders will reach speeds of up to 70mph - competing on 500cc bikes, with no brakes and acceleration that’s faster than an F1 car!

Speaking about this year’s season, Chris said:

“We’re all really up against in terms of competition from fellow riders this year – it’s shaping up to be one of the toughest but most exciting seasons I’ve been involved in.

“I’m feeling good about myself and confident there are good performances to come and I’m absolutely convinced I can compete at the highest level with the best in the sport.

“I’m really looking forward to the FIM Doodson British Speedway Grand Prix at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in June and I’m aiming for a great run up to the event. I won there in 2007 so it’s definitely time to repeat that success in front of a home crowd.

“Becoming World No.1 is still the ultimate dream and 2011 could certainly be the year to achieve it.”
The fun will start in the Fanzone on St Mary Street (from 11am) and the Grand Prix will start with pre-event entertainment in the Millennium Stadium, followed by the Grand Prix and finishing with a fantastic firework display.
