Northside Speedway or the GT Tyres Arena for sponsorship prurposes is a motorcycle speedway venue on the west side of the A596, north of Workington.[1][2] The venue is used by the Workington Comets who compete in the British speedway leagues.[3]

## History

[edit]

The site was originally a speedway training track but was developed during 2021 to enable league racing. A speedway team, under the control of local businessman Andrew Bain, was set to enter the 2022 National Development League speedway season but a series of vandalism incidents at the circuit pushed back the intended opening date.[4]

In 2023, the team finally began racing during the 2023 National Development League speedway season, it was also agreed that the team could take the name of a former speedway club called the Workington Comets, who had previously raced at Derwent Park.[5]

In 2024, a two-year naming rights deal was agreed with GT Tyres to name the arena the GT Tyres Arena.[6]
