Speedway is one of the most exciting sports<\/a> 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\u2019t quite be the same. But how did all of these people find their way into speedway, and what\u2019s their story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous episodes<\/a> 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.
