Maxxis British Championship – Foxhill Preview

Posted by Ray | 24 July 2009 | Comment

Clerk of the Course, Chris Warren reports the Foxhill track is in prime condition following overnight rain and other sources describe the circuit as the best prepared ever. The final homologation took place on Wednesday and now Chris and his team are putting the final touches to the track. Nick Prescott, Paul Orgorman and Chris Dams together with the circuit owner, Mrs Mather are also involved in Press interviews, signposting and the finishing touches ahead of the big day on Sunday.

Action from the last round at Lyng.

Gareth Swanepoel (pictured) goes into the event with three first and one second place from the past four motos and is really strong at present in the MX1 class. Whilst Brad Anderson has a healthy lead, it is unlikely he will clinch the championship at this round and will face strong opposition from many GP regulars.

In the MX2 class, Stephen Sword regards the Foxhill track as one of his favourites (and local as he only lives ten minutes away) and will want to maintain the momentum on his way to a likely championship title.Josh waterman needs just one point to clinch the MXY2 title.

The organisers have arranged plenty of off track activities on Sunday and the racing is sure to be as hot as the titanic Sword/ Simpson battles in 2009.

A new innovation will be the appearance of the Foxhill Vixens girls who will accompany the traditional Maxxis Babes throughout the day. All will be available for plenty of photo opportunities with you at the event!

The circuit is within easy reach of the M4 motorway at Junction 15 and the action starts at 9am with the first Championship MXY2 race scheduled for 12.15pm.

Just a reminder from last years fun and games at Foxhill
