The ACU Track Racing Commission (TRC) met on Tuesday, 20 August and discussed various matters including the situation relating to the 2024 ACU British Masters Championship following the recent withdrawal of ASTRA GTC to stage the event.
The TRC received interest from several parties (and subsequently one offer has been withdrawn), who were interested in staging the event.
Following a lengthy discussion around the options available, together with suitable dates left on the calendar to run the event, it is with huge regret that the 2024 ACU British Masters Championship is cancelled for this year.
The TRC is aware that riders and fans alike will be hugely disappointed with the news, but unfortunately there is no viable or suitable option available for the 2024 event to be staged.
The TRC will work with ACU clubs and organisers ahead of the 2025 season to ensure all of the key British Championships are staged as planned on the appropriate dates within the calendar.
We ask that all organisers work together with the TRC on the calendar for 2025, in order that date clashes are avoided and a full calendar of racing can be confirmed so that riders are not forced to choose one meeting over another due to regrettable clashes.
