The Festival has been in existence for the last 10 years after a gap of 20 years. The location of the circuit overlooks the seaside town of Scarborough and is famous for the motorcycle road races that have been promoted there since the 50's. We benefit from the use of a "quiet" day to offset the noise of the motorcycle days. Unless you have ridden the full circuit, it is hard to describe but is unlike anything else used for Youth and Junior races, hence the shorter times for races. It is however, not for the faint hearted as the first edition proved. It remains though, a true hard circuit to test the future stars of cycle racing for another year. Are you ready for it again? 2021 will see the second event as an organiser for Joe Parker,following on from the very successful National Championships in 2019. We are running a round of the National Youth Series, a 2, 3, 4 Adult Race plus a standalone U12 race. Timing chips will be used again this year.
Don't forget the Hill Climb during the afternoon break and the extra time for the afternoon racers to try the circuit. We are also looking at another supporting event hopefully with the local cycle clubs. As usual, the event field can be booked for Tents, Motorhomes and Caravans via this website - Noon Friday 2nd to Noon Monday 5th. Keep checking back here and on our Facebook page.
Hope to see you all soon!
