Redcar will round off a huge weekend of action by hosting the British Under-21 Final at the ECCO Arena on Sunday, June 7 (7.30pm).
The prestigious national showpiece – featuring the country’s leading young talents – follows directly on from the two-night FIM Grand Prix of Manchester at Belle Vue on the Friday and Saturday, making it a standout few days for British speedway fans.
A new British Under-21 Champion is guaranteed to be crowned this year, with double winner Sam Hagon – victorious in 2024 and 2025 – now moving beyond the age limit for the competition.
Among the eight seeded riders already confirmed are last season’s third-place finisher Luke Harrison and fellow 2025 finalist Will Cairns. The seedings have been determined using Championship averages from the previous campaign.
The home club will be represented by Ace Pijper and Jody Scott, while Ben Trigger – set to race for Middlesbrough in the National Development League – is also included. Completing the seeded line-up are Luke Killeen, Vinnie Foord and Freddy Hodder.
The final eight spots on the grid will be decided via a Qualifier at Leicester, with the date for that meeting set to be announced.
With a national title on the line and a new name ready to be etched onto the trophy, Redcar’s June 7 showdown promises to be a fitting finale to a blockbuster weekend of speedway.
