The club competed in the inaugural 1948 Polish speedway season, under the name of Motoklub Rawicz.[4][5]
The club's first team honour was winning the bronze medal in the Team Speedway Polish Championship in 1954 and the following season they went one better after winning the silver medal in 1955.[6] Their leading rider Florian Kapała won the Polish Individual Speedway Championship in 1953 and 1956.[7]
The club was disbanded after the 1959 season and was not reformed until 1996.[8]
The club later won the Polish Speedway Second League three times in 2000, 2007 and 2012.[2][9]
In 2008, the club renamed their stadium to the Florian Kapała Stadium, named after a former rider Florian Kapała. The stadium has a capacity of 7,000 and the speedway track is 330 metres long.[10]
