We filmed another episode of “Żużlowe Dranie Vintage” in Toruń, just before the unforgettable 2026 Speedway Grand Prix finale. This time, we travel back to the 1950s and 1970s to explore the story of one of the greatest legends in speedway history – Ivan Mauger.

Our guide on this journey through speedway history is Rafał Lewicki, our expert on the sport’s past, joined by Marcelina Rutkowska-Konikiewicz, Michał Korościel and Marcin Kuźbicki. And this episode features some truly special guests – Kacper Woryna, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Tony Rickardsson.

At the heart of the episode is Ivan Mauger – the New Zealander who became the first speedway rider in history to win six individual world championship titles. He claimed them in 1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1977 and 1979. His remarkable achievement has since been matched only by Tony Rickardsson and Bartosz Zmarzlik.

Rafał Lewicki presents some extraordinary pieces of Ivan Mauger memorabilia, including his racing suit from 1957 and a motorcycle acquired from a museum in Sweden – a two-valve Jawa from 1975, which the New Zealander raced in the British league.

Discover the story of the man who changed world speedway and took professionalism in the sport to an entirely new level. 🏍️🔥
