More than 40,000 fans will pack into the Millennium Stadium
Just 12 months ago Chris Harris' life changed forever.
The Coventry Bees rider became the first home rider to win the British Speedway Grand Prix since the event moved to the Millennium Stadium.
His victory over Greg Hancock, Jason Crump and Leigh Adams in the final is the thing dreams are made of, particularly for a man in his first season at the elite level of world speedway.
"The whole night was a special occasion in front of all those fans cheering you on. Passing that chequered flag was an awesome feeling," Harris told BBC Sport.
So what are his chances of a repeat at the Millennium Stadium on 28 June?
On current form it does not look good with Harris sitting 12th in the standings after the opening four rounds, with fellow Brit Scott Nicholls just one place higher after a similarly disappointing run.
But Nicholls, who rides for Eastbourne, says with more than 40,000 fans cheering you on, anything is possible.
"I wish I could describe it," said Nicholls. "The only way I can do it is that the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. I've never experienced noise like it."
Dane Nicki Pedersen is in pole position to retain his world title in 2008 having opened up a double-figure lead on his nearest rival despite not winning a Grand Prix so far this season.
But with the likes of Tomasz Gollob, Crump, Adams and Hans Andersen all desperate to close the gap the Grand Prix once again set to provide the highlight of the British speedway season.
The Belle Vue Aces rider is the highest placed British-based rider, heading to Cardiff third in the Grand Prix standings behind leader and 2007 World Champion Nicki Pedersen, from Denmark, and Poland's Tomasz Gollob.
The Australian had a slow start to the series, picking up 18 points from the first two meetings in Slovenia and Poland.
But he recovered to collect 12 points in Sweden and 18 points in Denmark to confirm himself as a contender to win in Cardiff.
The 32-year-old was crowned World Champion in both 2004 and 2006, but suffered an injury-ravaged 2007 season, dislocating a shoulder and breaking a kneecap.
Andersen has also raced in England for Poole and Ipswich
Andersen is the Peterborough Panthers captain and has topped the club's averages for the past two seasons.
The Dane has collected 39 points from the four Grand Prix meetings so far to sit in joint sixth place with Fredrik Lindgren heading to the Millennium Stadium.
His best performance came in the opening meeting in Slovenia where he picked up 14 points to finish third behind winner Gollob and Pedersen.
The 27-year-old is currently in his seventh season racing in the Elite League and clinched his first Danish Individual Championship last season.
Jonsson finished third in last season's Cardiff Grand Prix
Jonsson is this his third season with Lakeside Hammers and is one of the top performers in Elite League speedway.
The 27-year-old Swede was the World Under-21 Champion in 2000 and has been consistent during the 2008 Grand Prix series to trail Andersen and Lindgren by a single point.
Like Andersen, his best performance came in the opening round in Slovenia where he picked up 12 points.
But he has since picked up regular points, with nine point hauls in Poland and Denmark and eight in Sweden.
Iversen helped the Panthers to the Elite League play-offs last season
Iversen joined Wolverhampton Wolves from Peterborough Panthers for the current Elite League season and has provided one of the bright spots in what has been a disappointing campaign for the Monmore Green outfit.
The Danish rider heads for Cardiff sitting 10th in the Grand Prix standings after solid displays in Slovenia and Poland were followed by disappointing results in Sweden and his homeland.
The 26-year-old was part of the Denmark team that finished second to Poland in the World Cup Final in July 2007.
He started racing in the Elite League with Oxford in 2004 before joining the Panthers in 2006.
The 2007 British Speedway Grand Prix winner would love history to repeat itself on his return to Cardiff on Saturday.
But the Coventry Bees captain will need to improve on his Grand Prix form after collecting only 20 points from the four meetings so far to sit 12th in the rankings.
The 25-year-old helped Coventry to an Elite League treble during a memorable 2007 campaign in which he was also crowned British Champion ahead of Nicholls and David Howe.
Harris, who is Coventry's highest-averaged rider, launched his career with St Austell in 1998 and joined the Bees in 2004.
Eastbourne's Edward Kennett has been awarded a wildcard for the meeting, which means he will be able ride in five races like all the other competitors.
The 21-year-old made his Elite League debut for the Eagles in the play-off final of 2002 but has spent much of his career learning his trade in the lower leagues.
Kennett was on loan at Poole Pirates last season and made it to the Grand Final of the British Championship.
Simon Stead, of Coventry Bees, and Rye House's Tai Woffinden have been named as reserves for the meeting and will only take part if other riders get injured or are excluded.
