Sprint champs lines up venues
By TMX Archives on 15th Mar 13
GMC Events, organisers of the Husqvarna ACU British Sprint Enduro Series, has released final venue information for the 2013 series, which starts on April 5/6.
This season the series will be made up of a mix of both two and one-day events, with five different venues offering eight days of competition.
The opening two rounds of the series will take place at the popular Chavenage Farm venue, near Tetbury, scene of the opening round of the 2010 series, one of the most popular circuits the championship has used.
Next up competitors will travel to mid-Wales in late May, to the Saints Well venue for round three.
The event will be farmland based, but with added variety offered by both a motocross track and a small extreme area.
The championship then moves on to Monmouthshire. Rounds four and five, in early July, will see the series return to the picturesque Llangrove farm – a venue that's been a part of the BSEC series for the past two years.
Fast and flowing, with a motocross track and technical wood sections, the venue on the English/ Welsh border will mark the passing of the halfway point of the series.
Travelling further north than ever before the BSEC series will then touch down close to Sheffield at the start of August for round six, and the popular Westwood venue.
With the majority of the circuit tree-covered, the terrain should offer many new challenges.
Finally, on August 31/ September 1, the series will conclude at Chacombe, close to Banbury.
Continuing with another all-natural farmland venue, competitors will experience numerous grass tracks and woodland areas – a thoroughly enjoyable course to close the series.
For this year the BSEC series will feature nine classes, with Clubman Vets and Expert Vets added to the already established Elite, Expert, Clubman, Under 23, Under 19, 125cc Youth Cup and Woman's classes.
