The Wightlink Warriors have released their provisional summer fixture list, starting on Tuesday 29th July, at Smallbrook Stadium.
This season, the focus returns to team racing with 4 team events, one 3 Team Tournament representing the clubs that former Team Manager Steve Piper was closest to, the popular Best Pairs, where anyone can become a team manager for the night, and the NORA Individual British Championships.
The club will continue to stage support events too, giving fans an insight into other oval track racing disciplines, providing a night full of entertainment and allowing juniors more track time before the events each week thus maintaining their youth development ethos.
Wightlink Warriors co-owner Barry Bishop has said:
“I’m totally thrilled with the schedule that we have put together for this season, and I am hopeful that it will please those who want team racing as well as those who enjoy seeing other race formats and disciplines at Smallbrook.
“Either way, we are hopeful that a new impetus has been found, and we move forward together for a great season, and we are excitedly looking forward to announcing the 2025 Wightlink Warriors very shortly.”

Wightlink Warriors have said:
“Running speedway on the Island has unique challenges due to its location, and this year things have changed, so we welcome as much support as people can give, be that financial or physical.
“However, let’s not detract from the excitement of the 2025 season that is fast approaching and our new race day of Tuesday. Most of all, we look forward to welcoming you all back to our beautiful island stadium, hopefully bathed in sunshine.
