Host of top Brits entered for 2015 Hawkstone International

With the fantastic Hawkstone International less than a month a way the HIMX team have signed up some more top riders to put on a show at the brilliant Hawkstone Park Circuit, Shropshire on the February 8.

Among the excellent new sign-ups for this year’s event is former British Champion Brad Anderson who is this year riding for MBO Yamaha. “I am riding for a new team this year and it will be great to start the season at one of the best tracks in the country,” Ando said. “I know I have some friends who will be coming along to support me and I can’t wait.”

The popular Irish star Martin Barr, former British Youth Champion, Dan Thornhill and rising British star, Ben Watson are also among the new additions to the February 8 event.

KTM UK’s Martin Barr said: “I am really looking forward to the Hawkstone International this year on my 350 KTM. I had a good weekend there last year so I’ll be looking to go out and do the same again! It’s always the best warm up race before all the championships kick off and with a good line up of riders it will be cool to get 2015 kicked off!”

Cab Screens Yamaha new pilot, Dan Thornhill commented: “Hawkstone is always an unknown — it’s a tough track and each year the competition is so high with all the GP riders getting some races in. I’m on a new bike and in a new class. It’s early in the year this year and is going to be hard but I’m looking forward to the experience and having fun!”

“I’m really looking forward to 2015 and especially the Hawkstone International,” says Hitachi Revo KTM UK’s Ben Watson. Adding: “I think it’s a great race as it isn’t part of any championship. I take it as a warm up race to get me used to being back on the start line for my busy 2015 season competing in the GPs and the British Championship. I won’t be putting any pressure on myself for Hawkstone but of course I would love to get a good result there.”

A representative of the event organiser, HIMX commented: “The 8th of February is quickly approaching and we only have six places left in each class now. We have a great entry this year and we are very much looking forward to getting the action under way on the 8th — at the minute the track preparation is going really well.”

The support race for 2015 will be the opening round of the British Quad Championship.

MX1 and MX2 entries are now open by contacting Gary Ford ford542@btinternet.com.
