After a challenging few weeks, Jamie Courtney is delighted to confirm that following extensive negotiations, the long‑term future of Oxford Speedway at the BetGoodwin Oxford Stadium is secured.
Bringing fresh investment, stability and deep‑rooted passion Spencer Timmo and Mike Austin join and strengthen the promotional team. Both have been major sponsors since 2022 and are already a huge part of Oxford’s success story. “Bringing in two new investors was vital,” says Jamie — “and with Spencer and Mike being local, committed and fully behind the club, the future looks exciting.” Subject to BSPL approval, Mike will become co‑promoter alongside Jamie.
There’s more good news! After constructive discussions, Unipart has agreed a long‑term arrangement that restores race‑night parking. Jamie added “I would like to personally thank Unipart for their understanding and cooperation.”
On track, the positivity continues. Team manager Peter Schroeck has confirmed that Erik Riss is making great progress and is aiming to make his racing return after illness imminently. “That really was the icing on the cake,” Jamie said. “Hearing Erik will be back in the side soon means we’ll have that real feel‑good factor back again after an unsettling spell.”
Tickets for next week’s fixture on Wednesday 13 May will be on sale TOMORROW!
