With preparations now well underway for this year’s Hawk International at Hawkstone Park on February 26 and some top international riders putting their names down to compete, an added bonus has come with the news that Motors TV are planning on broadcasting showing highlights and races.

Race Secretary Gary Ford commented: “This is great news not only for our event but also for the sport in the UK and it gives us an opportunity to portray our loyal sponsors to a much larger audience as they will get coverage on the programme.

“Additionally it will help in attracting potential sponsor for future events held by HIMX. We have riders and teams signing up day by day and both the MX1 and MX2 classes have some fantastic riders among the entries which is sure to prove another fantastic day’s racing.
