This is the brave bit I think: The promoters are awaiting the publication of the 2021 British Superbike calendar before announcing an exact date – they want the event to take place the week after BSB’s traditional October finale at Brands Hatch, with practice on Wednesday and Thursday and racing on Friday and Saturday.
According to article they changed the law sometime in 2017. I had no idea either way and always wondered why everything happened in NI and IoM.
“In 2017 the government passed a new law, authorising the Auto Cycle Union and Motor Sports Association to issue permits for racing, so an act of parliament was no longer required to close roads.”
It’s really great news, especially given the current climate. It’s so much easier for us Londoners to get to. I’m well up for it and I think @pricetta would be as well. I bet there’s quite a few LB’ers who would be up for riding down?
They are already, just an excuse to bump the prices even higher.
I reckon there’s a good chance this will happen as not all the music festivals will be happening on the island, even with the Covid19 screwing events up.
This could possibly run just with TV rights and sponsorship money funding it.
yeah, they’re desperate to cover the lost revenue from the festivals.
Can’t imagine how many bikers will turn up to the ferry to find it’s full. Key will be getting there the day before the race you want and coming back the day after I think.
At least, Unlike the IOM, it’ll be easier to get around while the racing is on.
