There will be a big family re-union at Magnus Karlsson's testimonial.

The Swede's two older brothers, Mikael and Peter, have confirmed they will be at Beaumont Park on Saturday, March 17, for the star-studded meeting.

This will be the first time that three brothers have raced together at speedway's newest stadium.

It is also the first time in many a long year that the trio have been together on the same racetrack.

"I think we all rode together at one stage, maybe in Sweden, but I am not too sure where and when," said Peter, 42, a two-time Swedish national champion who rode for Wolverhampton in the Elite League last year.

This won't be Peter's first trip to Beaumont Park – he came along to watch a meeting last season after Magnus signed for the Elliott-sponsored Leicester Lions.

Following in the footsteps of his two famous brothers was a hard task but Peter thinks he has done the family proud.

"I don't think it's been particularly hard for Magnus to follow us," he said.

"He is quite a bit younger than Mikael and I so I think he's kind of done his own thing. I think he's done pretty well for himself."

It will, however, be the Mikael's first visit to the Leicester track and a rare appearance on English soil.

Now 38, Mikael made his bow in England with Wolverhampton in 1993. He had a number of spells with the West Midlands club but last raced here in 2006, representing the Lakeside Hammers.

Between them, the two older Karlsson brothers have picked up a number of individual and team honours.

Peter's British career started in 1990 at Wolverhampton, and he has since ridden for the likes of Peterborough, Kings Lynn and Belle Vue and has picked three Elite League titles along the way.

On the international front, both he and Mikael were part of the great Sweden team that raced to World Cup glory in 2000, 2003 and 2004.

Three years later at the World Cup, they were joined in the Swedish team by Magnus, who rode as a reserve, but they could only finish in fifth place.

Peter may be very much in the twilight of his career, but ambition still burns and he will be turning out for the Lakeside Hammers in the Elite League this season.

He said: "I'm very much looking forward to the season at Lakeside. I'm training pretty good now. There's no secret of eternal youth, it's just about enjoying the sport."

Four star riders have now been confirmed with the two Karlsson's joining Nicki Pedersen, the three-time world champion, and Elite League star Freddie Lindgren.

More big names are expected to be unveiled in the next couple of weeks.

The format for the meeting has now been decided and it will be run as a four-team tournament with a Leicester, Sweden, Rest of the World and Magnus Karlsson select line-ups doing battle.

Magnus has made a big impact in his short time with the Lions and will be a key rider next season, which gets under way at the end of next month.
