The 2010 Weston Beach Race will take place on the weekend of the 15th - 17th October 2010.
Although sadly the event is not sanctioned by the ACU the event is without doubt the biggest Off Road event on the Off Road calandar.
The event this year will run over three days Friday to Sunday with the big International race on the Sunday.
We understand that Gareth Hockey has secured a five year plan for Weston Beach Race, one of the biggest off road events on the race calendar and he is hoping that changes and improvements, which are planned, will continue to see the event grow to an exceptional standard.
The race has attracted some of the biggest names in the industry with multi World MX Champion Stefan Everts being a regular contender and in recent years he has battled it out with recently crowned World Enduro (E3) Champion David Knight and for 2010 former British Champion New Zealander Josh Coppins.
This year the Festival will run across three days starting on the Friday with the introduction of the new side-by-side (Poloaris Ranger Rzr ATV) race.
On Saturday there will be a youth quad race and a 65cc race followed by the traditional adult quad and sidecar races in the afternoon.
Sunday will see the youth 85cc race and the normal headline adult solo race in the afternoon.
The weekend is set to be action packed with a constant flow of races to watch and take part in throughout the weekend.
