New Championship class for British Supercross Championship

FIRST CLASS OF SUPERCROSS

Following on from last weeks announcement of a long term deal for British Supercross, Future West is pleased to announce the restructuring of pro racing at British Supercross Championship events. The new changes will see the addition of a Pro British Supercross Championship title class for British ACU licensed riders only.

In addition to the British Supercross Championship class there will also be titles to be had by the top International Supercross stars and british pro competitors in the SX2 (formerly Pro Lights) and SX1 (formerly Pro Open). Riders in all three classes will see the same purse schedule giving the British riders chance to earn more money. These changes will mean fans will get to see more great top level racing action during the evening. The addition of the "British only" British Supercross Championship class is one of the exciting changes marked for the British Supercross Championships in 08/09.

"We are very excited to add this class to our racing schedule, its a great opportunity for the British based riders and teams to jump on board and help us build a series that is both beneficial and prestigous for their riders and sponsors." says Future West's John Hellam. In addition to the three pro classes there will still be British Supercross Championship titles in schoolboy, youth and amateur classes.

Future West are already hard at work lining up other exciting new additions to the British Supercross Championship. Round 1 of the 2008/2009 British Supercross Championships kicks off Saturday October 25th at the Sheffield Arena.
