A collaboration between Kent-based X-Bladez Events, and Bedfordshire-based Luton & District MX Club, will see two ACU Championships enhanced for 2025; the Evo and Super Evo British Championships. The four-round series will provide one qualifying session and two races per championship at each of the four rounds. The first two rounds will run alongside the ACU British Vet Championships at Toddington in Bedfordshire. The final two rounds will see the Evo competitors travel to the home of the Evo class at Sellindge in Kent for the ACU Apico British 2-Stroke Festival, featuring the Red Bull Pro Stroke National.
The dates for the series are;
Round 1 – 14th June, Toddington
Round 2 – 15th June, Toddington
Round 3 – 9th August, Sellindge
Round 4 – 10th August, Sellindge
There will be 30 places available for both the Evo and Super Evo series. Both groups will compete on the same track at the same time, but with split gate drops; Super Evo first, following by Evo some 20 to 30 seconds later. Points scored from each race will count for the overall championship positions for each class.
Commenting on this initiative for a sector of motocross that continues to grow in terms of competitiveness and popularity, Dave Willet, the Apico 2-Stroke Festival promoter said; “Obviously, we have catered for these classes at the Festival with an ACU British Championship for both classes since 2019.
“It is hugely popular, giving two-stroke riders of all ages, abilities and machinery the ability to race in a British Championship. It’s a fantastic spectacle with the sound and smell creating an atmosphere like no other. I’m excited that we can now grow this sector further by teaming up with the guys at Luton & District and forming this alliance. We will work closely together for the good of the sport, sharing ideas and maximising exposure for the championships and riders.”
