Preview: Weymouth Beach Race
By Team TMX on 10th Feb 16
Weymouth's impressive annual events program is preparing to roar into action as it hosts a thrilling weekend of top class Beach Racing on Saturday and Sunday, February 27/28.
This all-action event promises to attract huge crowds and is a big boost to traders throughout the area.
The Weymouth Beach race is now in it's third year and has been growing every year.
Competitors aged from six to 72 will be travelling from all over the UK to battle it out on the sand and the event has also attracted a number of international competitors.
Bikes, quads extreme displays plus live music – all of which can be viewed free of charge from the esplanade.
As well as the internationally acclaimed riders the organisers can now officially announce the blue chip companies supporting the great weekend.
On board for the third consecutive year is Dickies, the official clothing and workwear sponsor.
With more than 90-years' experience in selling clothing and workwear Dickies has managed to build an unparalleled reputation for high quality and performance in any environment.
This extremely diverse brand has been tested to the limits supplying to workplaces as diverse as major construction sites around the world to oil fields, while still maintaining its stylish image.
Fred Nandi, commercial director of ORE Events South West, said: "Our events continue to grow every year and have been enjoyed by race-goers and spectators for many years.
"When we had the opportunity to work with Dickies is was a natural fit with our brand.
"ORE Events has built a very good relationship with Dickies and over the past few years the company has proved to be great to work with and we hope to continue our relationship for years to come.
"We are also pleased to announce that ITP tyres is joining the action and sponsoring the beach race.”
With more than 30-years' experience in supplying the world the best in ATV tyre technology and after regaining its position as the number one ATV/ UTV aftermarket tire and wheel supplier, there's no better environment to test these first-rate products than a world famous stretch of the Jurassic coast in Dorset.
The track stretches across the beach and includes purpose-built jumps, berms, whoops and a long straight on the sands.
From a spectator point of view, the layout of the area right on the sea front on the Esplanade means you will be able to get really close to the action over the two days.
