History

2017 season

In 2017, the speedway team in Lublin was reactivated and participated in the 2. liga (3rd division).[2] In the 2017 season Motor finished second in 2. liga,[3] and reached the play-off final where they were defeated by Start Gniezno. The final was contested over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium (50:40 in Lublin[4], 36:53 in Gniezno[5]). Despite losing to Start, Motor qualified for the two-game relegation-promotion playoff against the second-last place team in Nice 1. Liga – Stal Rzeszów. The first game took place on 1 October 2017 in Rzeszów, with Motor winning 52:38.[6] Motor won the deciding game 47:25 which took place on 8 October 2017 in Lublin.[7]

Motor Lublin ended first half of the 2018 season in first place, three points ahead of Start Gniezno.[8] Motor finished first in the Nice 1. Liga regular season, and faced Lokomotiv Daugavpils in the play-off semi-finals. On 31 August 2018, Motor won the away leg 47:43.[9] In the second leg, which took place on 8 September 2018 in Lublin, Motor won 55:35.[10] In the play-off finals, Motor faced second placed side ROW Rybnik. The first leg took place on 16 September 2018 in Rybnik, which Motor lost 52:38.[11] The return leg was contested one week later, when Motor beat ROW 53:37, and gained promotion to Ekstraliga.[12]
