Gearing up for an action-packed weekend of racing, the ever-evolving Apico 2-Stroke Festival, featuring the Red Bull Pro-Stroke National, and the Fastest 40, returns to Sellindge in Kent this summer with a two-day celebration of motocross from the 17th to the 18th of August.
The Festival will see young competitors in the 65cc and 85cc – big and small-wheel, scored separately – and 125cc classes competing for glory on the same professionally sculpted and challenging Kent track as the Pro riders race.
For the 2024 2-Stroke Festival, title partner Apico Factory Racing is offering a substantial £2500 Rider Support package across the 65cc, 85cc and both 125cc groups. Four individual riders will be selected and rewarded with a visit to the Apico Factory Racing HQ shortly after the Festival.
The recipients will not necessarily be those who win on track though. The riders will be observed and marked for their race craft, their on and off-track demeanor and general presentation. Both Apico, and the Festival promoter, hopes it will make a real difference in their on-going motocross journey.
In addition, Apico vouchers will be gifted throughout the classes to try and support as many young riders as possible to give everyone a chance to win something.
Commenting on the expansion of the youth programme, Apico 2-Stroke Festival promoter Dave Willet said; “We’re excited to again support the youth classes and give them the opportunity to race on the same track as some of their racing heroes like Tommy Searle, Joel Rizzi and Conrad Mewse. It isn’t an opportunity they get at every event.
“As the classes are suitable for all levels of rider, we feel it’s important to spread the prizes across the groups so that every rider who enters the Festival will be in with a chance of picking up an Apico voucher. For four very lucky riders, there is also the prospect of winning a £2500 Apico Factory Racing support package – this is enormous and will set them up for the following season and beyond. We’re very grateful to Apico for its generosity.”
The Apico 2-Stroke Festival youth classes are:
Youth 65cc (7-11 yrs)
Youth SW 85cc (9-12yrs)
Youth BW 85cc (11-14yrs)
A weekend race entry costs just £125.00. This includes overnight camping and admission for those travelling with riders.
