WRIGHT READY TO GO WILD

BRITISH Final runner-up Charles Wright has a dream chance to compete with the World’s best as wild card for this weekend’s double Grand Prix in Manchester.

Stockport-based Wright, a former Belle Vue rider, is assured of plenty of local support as well as from his current UK clubs, Oxford Spires and Redcar.

And Wright, who was also a wild card for the British GP at Cardiff in 2019 after he won the national title, believes the weekend should provide epic entertainment.

He said: “Belle Vue is one of the best tracks in the world to race on, as was proved in the British Final. It’s a lot about what you are on and how the engine performs on the night. 

“In league matches you can’t practice, but here we get time trials to see which one works best and that’s really handy to know.”
