Lokomotīve Daugavpils, also known as Lokomotiv Daugavpils, is a Latvian motorcycle speedway team based in Daugavpils who race in the Polish Speedway Second League (2. Liga).[1] [2]
Stadium Lokomotīve (former name Spīdveja centrs) is located at Jelgavas iela 54, Daugavpils. Its capacity is 10,000 seats. The track is 373 metres long and has a granite surface. The track record was set by Grigory Laguta (66.01 sec on 30 May 2010).[3]
The club began league speedway in 1964, as part of the Soviet Union Championship. They won the silver medal in 1970 and 1971.[4] Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union the team continued to race in the Russian Team Speedway Championship, due to the lack of a team competition in Latvia.[5] They won the bronze medal four times in 1995, 1996, 2001 and 2002.[6]
The team withdrew from the Russian leagues to join the Polish leagues and twice won the 1. Liga in 2015[7] and 2016[8] but were not promoted to the Ekstraliga, which was restricted to Polish clubs.
During the 2020 Polish speedway season the club were relegated to 2. Liga.
