2024 Hawkstone International Preview, Rider Lists and Timetable
By Photo: Dick Law on 21st Feb 24
This weekend, Sunday, February 25, one of the greatest ever line-ups in the long and illustrious history of the Hawkstone International will be in action at the iconic sandy motocross circuit that sits around 12 miles north of Shrewsbury in Shropshire (SY4 4NA).
Hawkstone Park has hosted off-road motorcycle sports of some description or another since 1938, but for the past 80 years, it has carved a niche as being one of the roughest, toughest motocross circuits on the planet and famous for its horsepower-sapping hill.
This year’s International – brought to us by Ashbrook and Syntol Lubricants – has a ridiculously talent-packed start list that includes world champions Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre and Andrea Adamo, GP winners Glenn Coldenhoff and Liam Everts plus some of the UK’s finest talent – Conrad Mewse, Joel Rizzi, Jake Nicholls, Josh Gilbert and more. Check out the comprehensive entry lists below for more details.
Returning to a more traditional race schedule that includes separate MXGP and MX2 classes, with the top riders from each coming together for the end-of-day Super Final, there’s also an incredibly exciting EMX125 support class for all you two-stroke lovers out there.
All in all, it promises to be an action-packed day that all kicks off at 9am with practice and qualifying before an eight-race programme takes us through to sun down – you get a full day of entertainment for your money that’s for sure!
Tickets are available on the gate and cost £40 for adults, kids aged 5-15 get in for £5 with those under that age getting in FOC. Camping is available for £40 per pitch and visitors are advised that due to bad signal in the area it’s cash only on the gate.
And, just in case you’re wondering, the weather forecast is currently showing that we might see some sunshine!
