2017 saw an edge-of-the-seat showdown between British Olympians Scott Brash and Ben Maher, as the pair took a one-two against the very best international riders in the world, much to the delight of the packed out grandstands.

This year, the GCL team ranking battle could not be more fierce, with the red-coated London Knights currently in the lead.
