Plymouth 'Newton Abbot Racecourse' Devils

About us

PLYMOUTH ‘NEWTON ABBOT RACES’ DEVILS.

Thrill seekers and speed junkies? Plymouth has just the sport for you. The St Boniface Arena, home of the ’Newton Abbot Races’ sponsored Plymouth Devils, is the only Speedway track in Devon and Cornwall; and is well known for producing some of the most adrenaline-charged racing in Britain.

Speedway is a family friendly sport that everyone will enjoy. The 500cc methanol fuelled bikes accelerate away from the gate at up to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. Come and watch fifteen exciting heats of four riders battling it out over four laps per race, from tapes to finishes line in just under one minute! The race never over until they pass the chequered flag.

When the tapes rise, the riders drop their clutch and hurtle out the starting gate and into the first bend on motorbikes with no brakes or gears. Elbow to elbow, wheel to wheel. To get around the tight corners of the oval track at high speed, the riders have to accelerate in to the bends and bring the rear wheel out so that they exit the corner in a ‘skid’, without losing power. The roar of the engines, the cheers of the crowds. Every rider battling for points and for the lead….

 Why not come along to the St Boniface Arena and prepare to become hooked.

Our friendly ‘meet and greet team’ will be happy to explain the sport to you and the point scoring system.  Get the kids to come and say ‘hello’ to Neville the Devil, have their photograph taken with the riders and collect autographs.

The arena has a raised disabled viewing area. A fully licenced bar, gift shop and outside catering. The two main grandstands are uncovered, so wrap up warm on chilly evenings! Please check our website, media or telephone ahead, to check if the meeting may be in doubt, due to poor weather.
