About Humans of Speedway
Speedway is one of the most exciting sports you can watch, riders on board methanol fuelled machines which hit 60mph quicker than an F1 car, oh and they have no brakes! But behind this thrilling sport is an army of people who make it possible. From star riders to mega fans, referees to TV commentators Humans of Speedway shines a spotlight on those names you know well, and other names you many not be aware of, but without their contributions speedway wouldn’t quite be the same. But how did all of these people find their way into speedway, and what’s their story?
Previous episodes in the series include in depth chats with 1992 World Champion Gary Havelock, 7x British Champion Scott Nicholls, 3x World Longtrack Champion and TV commentator Kelvin Tatum and GB great Jeremy Doncaster. Find out what it takes to be a speedway referee with international ref Chris Durno, the pressures of making speedway’s greatest show run like clockwork with FIM Speedway GP Race Director Phil Morris, and life behind the microphone with commentator Nigel Pearson, plus many more.
In each episode we also put together our guest’s “Speedway Paradise” giving them the chance to design how their ultimate dream meeting would look, which track will they choose, who would be in their all time team, and even a chance to amend the rule book..!
