Me and my team had a great explore around this place today and relatively easy access. This place is amazing! The Coventry Speedway, also known as the Coventry stadium, opened up in 1928. It was home to the Coventry bees motorcycle speedway team. From 1978 to 2016 the stadium also hosted...

Hi All, I've a bit of a thing for unused race tracks. Usually they're old RAF bases steeped with heritage coupled with motorsport. Not really in this case though... it was built on an old quarry. Rockingham Speedway, whilst a fantastic venue, never really took off in the way they hoped, I...
