Career
Lahti started his British career riding for the Eastbourne Eagles in 2011. He became the national champion of Finland after winning the Finnish Individual Speedway Championship in 2012.[2] After a total of four seasons at Eastbourne he left after the 2014 season.[1]
He won a further five national championships from 2015 to 2019 consecutively before being deposed by Tero Aarnio. Before the 2017 win he had returned to British speedway by riding in the top tier for the Poole Pirates in the SGB Premiership 2017.[3][4]
In 2021, he regained his Finnish title which brought his total number of national titles to seven. In 2023, he was part of the Finland team that competed at the 2023 Speedway World Cup in Poland.[5] In July 2023, he transferred to Smederna from Rospiggarna and later in October 2023, he paired up with Antti Vuolas to become the European Pairs bronze medal winner.[6]
