Biography

British star Richard Lawson races at Foxhall for the first time since 2019, and he returns in the form of his career. He finished the 2025 season as No.1 for Witches’ near neighbours King’s Lynn and has been nothing short of heroic for the Poole Pirates at Cab Direct Championship level. Lawson won his first league title in British Speedway with the Pirates against Leicester at King’s Lynn in 2022, and now he can’t stop winning trophies – collecting three league and cup doubles with Poole in four seasons. Lawson is still waiting for his first league title at Rowe Motor Oil Premiership level and will hope to race his way into the championship picture with a big season as part of a strength-in-depth Ipswich side.
