3-2-1....Hawkstone!
By Team TMX on 7th Feb 15
Tomorrow (February 8), the outdoor race season kicks off with one of the biggest attended events on the UK Motocross calendar... The Hawkstone International is a GO!
The HIMX team have been busy prepping the infamous Hawkstone Park track, SY4 4NA and the weather is looking very favourable considering it's early February.
The line-up is one of the biggest in years and we are sure it will be another fantastic event to get the year started in style. With the GP season getting earlier the HIMX had to schedule in one of their earliest dates in several years. With riders getting ready for the opening round in Qatar this is the perfect way for them to start their year and the top riders from the GP scene are fantastic, led by 2014 World MX2 Champion Jordi Tixier. Adding to him in the MX2 class there's some top class pilots including: Tonkov - Ferrandis - Covington - Petrov - Sterry - Lenoir and of course the young, talented British rider Ben Watson.
The MX1 class also has a fantastic line up including: De Reuver - Strijbos - Simpson - Desalle - Leok - Barr - Anderson - Ferris - Law and Coldenhoff! The HIMX team were forced to bring the date forward to avoid certain clashes with other races and they have been very lucky to secure some of the best riders in the world.
The track is looking really good and the organisers are hoping in 2015 they will once again be able to use the fantastic 'Hawkstone Hill' - this will be weather dependant and also if it is safe.
Tickets are only available to buy on the gate and will be £25 per adult including a free race programme and under 14s are free. Parking on site is also free. Camping will be £20 per pitch - motorhome/tent/caravan.
