EDINBURGH, UK
In a landmark moment for Australian motorsport exports, sibling power duo Jordy and Anika Loftus have spearheaded the Edinburgh Monarchs Academy to an historic, unbeaten 2026 WSRA National Development League Championship title in the United Kingdom.
Demonstrating dominant form across British circuits, Team Loftus Racing and the Monarchs Academy wrapped up the title race well ahead of schedule, proving unstoppable against international competition.
Reflecting on the title victory, the team celebrated the historic milestone:
"With two league matches still to go and an unbeaten record, the Edinburgh Monarchs Academy can no longer be caught on the league table and have been officially announced as the 2026 Champions! History has been made!"
DOUBLE DANGER AT THE BRITISH UNDER 19 FINAL
Beyond their league championship campaign, both Jordy and Anika Loftus continued to fly the Australian flag at the highest junior levels, lining up side-by-side in the prestigious British Under 19 Final at Plymouth.
Acknowledging their dual entry into the national showcase, Edinburgh Monarchs Speedway issued a rallying call for the Aussie siblings:
"Good luck to Jordy and Anika Loftus who take part in the British Under 19 Final at Plymouth tonight!"
The overseas campaign also saw the team pushing through intense playoff pressure in the CAB Direct Championship League semi-finals, battling relentlessly through adverse track conditions and fierce opposition.
"The team gave it their all last night but it is Poole that progress to the Play Off Final."
HONOURING LEADERSHIP OVERSEAS
Central to the championship-winning culture in Scotland has been the leadership of Team Manager Scott Wilson, whose guidance has provided a vital foundation for the young Australian racers competing thousands of kilometres from home.
Paying tribute to Wilson's pivotal role in their international success, Team Loftus shared:
"More than a manager, you're someone who believes in us, supports us, and brings out the best in every one of us."
THE OVERSEAS AUSTRALIAN LEGACY
The achievements of Jordy and Anika Loftus reinforce the formidable reputation of Australian speedway racers competing abroad. Packing up their lives to tackle the demanding British speedway calendar requires immense sacrifice and mental strength. Through dominant league victories, final appearances, and national titles, the Loftus siblings continue to demonstrate the true grit, skill, and heart of Australian speedway on the world stage.
