Simon Lambert Racing - Official Website

I am busy in the workshop at the moment building my bikes to go and have a practice session soon. Leicester practice session is not until mid March so my aim is to get a few spins in before then.

I am now concentrating on my fitness after breaking my scaphoid and getting in plenty of training.

I am really looking forward to riding for Leicester Lions and joining my old mate Magnus.

That's all for now

5.12.11

I can now confirm that I have agreed terms to ride for the Leicester Lions in the Premier League next season.

This is very exciting for me and I am looking forward to joining the Leicester team. I managed to put over 2 points on my average at Sheffield this year so now move into the main team from the reserve berth.

Now I know that I have a team place for the 2012 season I can now start looking for sponsors - both new and old. I cant wait to get started.

As you know my 2011 season ended prematurely with a broken scaphoid on the left hand. I am still in plaster for another 3 weeks or so. It was disappointing not to ride in Stokes cup final meeting but the boys did their best and I was there to gee them all on.

I'm pretty fed up at the moment not being able to do very much with my hand in plaster. I'm unable to drive the lorry so I am office bound at the moment learning all the ins and outs of the paper trail to running the family business.

I have had a great season in 2011 – I think probably my best to date.

I would like to say a big thank you to all my sponsors who have supported me this year – both financially and turning up at meetings to watch. Its not just about pound notes – some of you sponsor my oil, tyres, chain lube, tear offs etc and it all adds up to sponsorship. You all know that I couldn't achieve my goals without your help and for that I am very grateful to you. Thank you to all the Sheffield fans who put so much money each month into the track spares van for each of their riders.

Thank you to my family for their dedication and unlimited support. They are the best.!

I have had a new mechanic this year – Mark Grayson – who has been able to mechanic at most of my matches both home and away and the continuity has been so important. Thanks Mark we have had some good laughs together – long may it continue. Thanks also to Enzvillle for helping with the bikes. He prepared 2 really good bikes for me at the beginning of the season.

Finally a big thank you to the fans and supporters of Stoke Potters and Sheffield Speedway.

I don't know where I am going to be next year but hope that I can continue to ride for Sheffield. It would be good to keep Mark and Enz in the camp as they are both from that part of the country.

Thanks very much indeed to the supporters of the Stoke Potters who voted me 'Rider of the Year'. Thanks very much for that. I also received a trophy for scoring the most maximums for the team. Very chuffed with that.

Enjoy your Christmas shopping. I will post on here again when I have some news.

16.10.11

I was really looking forward to a busy 4 meetings this weekend. After riding at Sheffield Thursday I guested at home for Plymouth on Friday night. I won my first ride and then in heat 5 I had a collision with Sneddon as I was overtaking him on the outside and took a bad fall. After being attended to on the track for some time I was treated in the ambulance. I knew my hand injury was bad as I was in so much pain.

I went to Plymouth hospital for x rays and I now have my hand plastered with a broken scaphoid. I have to go back to my local hospital on Monday for further investigation after the swelling has gone down.

That's the premature end of my speedway season this year missing Stoke and Workington home matches this weekend. With a KO Cup Final on the horizon next weekend I am absolutely gutted that I cant ride.

But hey that's speedway!!

24.9.11

What a week of fixtures coming up with no less than 8 meetings in 9 days. But that's speedway.

Rye House today, tomorrow (Sunday) is the first round of the KO Cup final at Mildenhall. Myself and all the Stoke boys are well up for getting a good lead to take to the 2nd leg at Stoke next month. So come and cheer the boys on. Its a big meeting for Mildenhall since their comeback and also for Stoke Potters.

Then its back up the motorway to Glasgow Monday - but only if the sun shines - for Sheffield. Wednesday I am riding at Kings Lynn in the International Young Guns meeting so hope to see a lot of local supporters there.

Then its Sheffield Thursday, Plymouth Friday, Stoke Saturday and Mildenhall again on Sunday in the play offs.

I'm really looking forward to a busy week of racing. The lorry driving for the family business will have to go on hold for a while!!

Hopefully see you on the travels!

I have had a busy week with the two guest bookings in the Elite League for Peterborough and Kings Lynn. Although I did not score many points in the matches I class it as good experience and I know I did my best.

I scored 36 points for Stoke in the National League over the weekend. It started at Stoke v Dudley on Saturday when I scored 15 and then away at Mildenhall yesterday I scored a maximum of 21 from 6 rides. That is very satisfying and makes up for the rain off we had at Ipswich on Thursday night.

My next meeting is for Stoke at my old track Kings Lynn on Wednesday at 7.30 pm so hopefully see a lot of the 'locals' there.

8.8.11

I have had a good weekend and a busy week ahead. On Sunday I rode at Stoke and got my first full maximum of the season with 5 straight wins. On several occasions I have been close but I have achieved that now.

Tonight I rode for Peterborough against Coventry in the Elite League. I made good starts but scored paid two.

On Wednesday I am riding for King Lynn against Coventry again in the Elite League. So I am hoping to score a few points on my old track.

Thursday there is no Sheffield home match. It is Ipswich v Sheffield, Saturday Stoke v Dudley and Sunday Mildenhall v Stoke. So a busy week.

12.7.11

I am happy with the way the season is going so far. had good scores pretty much everywhere and really enjoying it all.

I had a couple of quiet weeks but its back to 3 or 4 meetings a week next month with Stoke and the Premier League second phase meetings so everything is all ready and I'm hoping to continue the good form.

Thanks for the support from everyone and keep on eye out on new fixtures and scores.

18.6.11

What a brilliant night I've had at Newport having won the National League Pairs with Tim Webster for the Stoke Potters. That makes it the 3rd time I have won this title having won it with Paul Cooper in 2007 and James Cockle in 2008 both for the Boston Club. I am the only rider to ever win this event 3 times in their speedway career.

This season just gets better.

16.6.11

What a fantastic time I had racing at Sheffield tonight scoring 15 points. My 18 point maximum was spoilt when I was excluded in heat 2 for the cause of the stoppage. Anyway I am certainly up on a high at the moment and knocking in some good scores both at home and away. I couldn't want things any better at the moment. The bikes are good and Glyn is doing a fantastic job.

Lets hope I can keep it up as tomorrow night we are in Edinburgh and on Saturday at 7pm I am representing Stoke with Tim Webster in the National League Pairs at Newport. I really want to win this event and go into the history books as being a winner of the title 3 times for the NL.

I am hoping for good weather and no rain offs please!!!!

See you soon.

30.5.11

I am still feeling a bit sore after my tumble Thursday night. Got fairly bad bruising but it will heal.

I have a very busy week ahead with 5 meetings in 5 days.

Kicking off at Somerset v Sheffield on Tuesday night which is being televised by Sky Sports, then a booking in the Ashley Jones Memorial Meeting at Kings Lynn on Wednesday. Thursday Sheffield, Friday Redcar and Saturday Berwick.

So we are hoping for a 'rain free' next few days after getting all the way to Glasgow track yesterday in bright sunshine, the track looked perfect, and the meeting was 'rained off'. But that's another story!

So see you soon

4.5.11

I am pleased to say that I have had a much better start this season than I did last year. I am happy with the way things are going at the moment, happy with my bikes, mechanics and engine tuner. So for the first time in a long time things are just clicking together and going right.

I feel I am progressing well and scoring points home and away.

I have had a busy time and some guest bookings. We don't have a meeting at Sheffield this week but I am guesting for Somerset on Friday and then riding at Stoke in the NL on Saturday.

See you soon,

9.4.11

I am pleased to say that I have settled into the new season pretty well, I am happy with my bikes and set up and now seem to have tackled the new silencer issues.

I have had a busy 3 days riding at Sheffield, guesting for Edinburgh and then riding at Workington. I should have had more points at Workington but that's speedway. I am happy with my new set up around me - my mechanics and engine tuner who are doing a great job for me.

I am sorry to have missed the previous National League meetings for Stoke but am looking forward to Saturday night when we take on my old club Scunthorpe. It will be my first meeting joining up with Mr. Vasey again.

12.3.11

Now that the Press and Practice day is out of the way its forward looking to the new 2011 season.

Everything went well on Thursday and the bikes all felt good. So its looking forward to my first match of the season next Thursday against the famous club Belle Vue. And the following day (Friday) is against my old club Scunthorpe. Looking forward to that.

So hope to see you there.

30.1.11

I am pleased to announce that I have agreed to join Stoke Potters as their new No. 1 in the National League this season.

I yet again join up with Malcolm Vasey who has known me since I was 10 years old. Malcolm has seen me go from Mascot for Boston to No. 7 to no. 1 in the team. Now I hope I can repay him by helping Stoke to win some silverware. He knows what I am capable of and I cannot wait for the season to start in March.

I will be doubling up with Sheffield Tigers in the Premier League.

I had a great time at Sheffield last year and hope to score lots of points for the Tigers and hopefully we have a squad that will be challenging for honours.

11.1.11

I am now busy working on my bikes for the new season and trying to secure sponsorship for this year. My main sponsor is not available this year so I am still looking for a main sponsor to help me. Thank you to all the sponsors who have agreed to stick with me this year. I do fully understand that in the present economic climate it is not always easy but fully appreciate all the help I already get.

If anyone is interested in helping me with say, fuel, tyres, etc. please get in touch.

I am looking forward to getting some practice time in on the track in mid February. March wont be long before its here.
