Newport's indoor track was built as a training venue to keep the budget down, but it is said to be Ron Webb's (the worlds most renowned track builder) favourite track. Although the 500 capacity doesn't allow for major competitions to take place it is well used and track sessions here are booked up months in advance.

The British team used it as it's pre-Olympic holding camp ahead of Beijing 2008 and London 2012. Newport is also one of the reasons there is a disproportionate amount of talented young Welsh riders in the British track squad.
