This autobiography chronicles Tai Woffinden's rise as a speedway champion, detailing his triumphs and challenges throughout his career.

In Raw Speed - The Autobiography of the Three-Times World Speedway Champion, Tai Woffinden shares his remarkable journey from a young boy in Scunthorpe to becoming the most successful speedway rider in Britain. Following in the footsteps of his late father, Rob Woffinden, Tai's passion for the sport ignited when his family moved to Australia. It was there that he honed his skills, earning local recognition while still in school. His natural talent and determination propelled him to become the youngest Grand Prix World Champion at just twenty-three, marking a significant milestone in his career.

However, the path to success was not without its challenges. Tai faced personal tragedy with the loss of his father in 2010, which deeply affected him and coincided with a tumultuous period in his racing career. Additionally, a severe injury during the 2019 World Championship threatened to derail his ambitions. Yet, through resilience and an unwavering spirit, Tai demonstrates that true champions rise above adversity. His autobiography not only recounts thrilling victories but also candidly addresses the struggles he has faced along the way.

Raw Speed offers readers an intimate glimpse into the life of a celebrated athlete, showcasing his unique personality, determination, and the passion that drives him. With honesty and directness, Tai invites fans to experience the highs and lows of his journey, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the world of speedway racing.
