From Gloucestershire to Mid Wales, Monmouthshire to Sheffield, and on to Oxfordshire… GMC Events, organisers of the Husqvarna ACU British Sprint Enduro Championship, have today released finalised venue information for the 2013 series, which starts on April 5/6.
Mixing both two and one-day events the series heads from Gloucester to Mid Wales, then to Monmouth, before moving north towards Sheffield and then concluding close to Banbury, Oxfordshire. The opening two rounds of the series will take place at the popular Chavenage Farm venue, near Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Home to the opening round of the 2010 series, the return to what has proved to be one of the most popular circuits the championship has used is sure to please many.
Next up the series heads to Mid Wales in late May, to the Saints Well venue for round three. Farmland based, but with added variety offered by both a motocross track and a small extreme area, the championship then jumps to Monmouthshire. Rounds four and five, in early July, will see the series return to the picturesque Llangrove farm – a venue that's been a part of the BSEC series for the past two years. Fast and flowing, with a motocross track and technical wood sections, the venue on the England/Wales boarder will mark the passing of the half way point of the championship.
Travelling further north than ever before the BSEC series touches down close to Sheffield at the start of August for round six, and the popular West Wood venue. With the majority of the circuit tree covered the terrain will offer many new and exciting challenges. Finally, on the weekend of August 31/September 1, the championship will conclude at Chacombe, close to Banbury. Continuing with another all-natural farmland venue competitors will experience numerous grass tracks and woodland areas – a thoroughly enjoyable course to bring the series to a close.
For 2013 the BSEC series will feature nine classes, with Clubman Vets and Expert Vets added to the already established Elite, Expert, Clubman, Under 23, Under 19, 125cc Youth Cup and Woman's classes. Entry information will be released soon.
