TheTeams:
The 2021 Racing League was based around 12 sponsored teams, however, this year’s teams will be regions. We’ve got Scotland, the North, Ireland, Yorkshire, Wales and the West, the East, London and the South.
There will be six meetings – and 42 races in total – every Thursday night. There will be two entries from each region in every race (14 runners) and it’ll be based on a points system.
First place will secure 25 points, with points up for grabs in the first ten positions. Oh, there’s also over £2m in prize money on offer over the few weeks…
