Podium Sweep for Molson Kawasaki at Hawkstone Park
23 September 2008
Molson Kawasaki’s Stephen Sword, Gareth Swanepoel and Tom Church all finish on the podium in the finale of the 2008 British Motocross Championship.

ARB Tuning Kawasaki Conquers Tough Hawkstone Weekend
15 August 2008
When ARB Tuning Kawasaki arrived at Hawkstone Park for the penultimate round of the British Masters Motocross championship last weekend, it had all the makings of yet another wet race. Drizzle throughout Saturday morning and rain throughout the afternoon made it look like it could be a repeat of the so ill-fated previous outing of the same series barely a few weeks ago, in which the team watched Sunday's racing get cancelled. On Sunday, mixed weather and blustery winds before lunch turned into sunshine later in the afternoon, turning the outing into something much more pleasant.

Excellent Third Position For Kawasaki's Church At Hawkstone
07 March 2007
The wet, blustery and cold conditions at the Hawkstone Park International could not have been worse for motocross as incessant rain turned the historic sand into a difficult and tiring prospect for Molson Kawasaki’s three rider line-up yesterday, but the 3rd position overall gained by Tom Church made the effort worthwhile. Church was joined by Gareth Swanepoel and teenage rider Ray Rowson in the team awning last weekend with Stephen Sword still needing time to recover from an infection in his lower leg but expecting to return to the saddle of the KX250-F in the next two weeks.

Difficult Trudge For KRT Kawasaki At Wet Hawkstone

The terrain swiftly turned into a rutted and heavy ‘obstacle’, dropping average speeds considerably.

Victory For Strijbos And New RM-Z450
05 March 2007
Team Suzuki's Kevin Strijbos aced the two MX1 motos at a soaking, windy and cold Hawkstone Park in Great Britain yesterday to give the Belgian crew their first victory of the pre-season period and christen the 2007 RM-Z450 in the best way possible. The 21-year-old Belgian followed World Championship rivals Josh Coppins and Ken de Dycker in the first moto around the chilly and blustery midlands venue before moving past both of his rivals to seal his maiden moto victory of the year.

Victory for Everts at Hawkstone
06 March 2006
Rinaldi Yamaha rider Stefan Everts, claimed his third victory in four weeks after winning both MX1 heats of the Hawkstone Park International in Shropshire, England. The nine times World Champion dominated the first of two heats in bright and sunny but cold conditions. A packed crowd attended one of the more prestigious pre-season events of the winter calendar and the dark Hawkstone sand was in its usual rough and demanding state. The circuit is dwarfed by the large hill section that sees the riders climb a near-vertical 100m slope and the gradient caught out a number of top riders as the International once again boasted an array of Grand Prix stars.
