The 2016 GBXC series

In association with the ACU, Rock Oil and Michelin, Fast Eddy Racing's Paul Edmondson is pleased to announce a new challenge for 2016: Eight days of sprint racing spread over four weekends, starting in March and finishing in July.

With the venues from North to South around the country, each day will feature twelve transponder timed special tests, six on an Enduro course and six on a MX track . Except for the Championship class, riders in all other classes can drop one of the days in the series to allow a little flexibility.

Another excellent introduction to the 2016 series is the breakdown of Championship, Expert and Clubman classes into E1, E2 and E3 divisions with a winner in each and an overall winner of the class, emulating the British Enduro Championship. The series also sees classes for Sportsman, Youth 12-16, Veterans and Ladies.

There will be two groups of riders. Group One will consist of the Sportsman, Youth 12-16, Veterans and Ladies and will start each round on the MX test while group Two will hold the Championship, Expert and Clubman riders who will start each round on the Enduro test. All riders will be allowed one sighting lap, which will be followed by six timed laps each day.

The fastest rider after the first test will start first, no matter what class that rider is in, followed by the second fastest and so on. Each run will start in the same manner with fastest rider from the previous test going first.

The series starts at Rogers Hill Raceway on March 19-20th then moves to the superb H2O venue for round two over the weekend of 30th April/1st May. Round three goes north to Westwood near Sheffield on May 21-22nd with the final round venue on 9-10th July to be announced shortly.

The start times are as follows: Saturday will start at 11.00am with a sighting lap while Sunday will start at 9.30am with a sighting lap.

Pre-paid entry costs for the weekend is £100 for two days or £60 for one day. There will be transponder timing at all events for all riders.
