History

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.
