|
|
Just read this on the ACU web site:
Mallory Park, the popular Leicestershire motor racing circuit, has new operators. Stuart Hicken and Eddie Roberts, both well known in the motorcycle racing world, have formed a jointly owned company - Real Motorsport Limited - to run the circuit on a day to day basis.
They commented ‘This is a great day for us both. We have grown up with Mallory Park, firstly as spectators, then as competitors and now running businesses associated with the sport’.
Eddie owns Complog, a leading worldwide retailer of motorcycle tyres that also supplies the British Superbike Series. He enjoyed a twenty year racing career that saw him compete in many events including Grand Prix and the Isle of Man TT.
Stuart is owner of the Buildbase BMW Motorrad UK British Superbike Team. He started racing in the late 1960s and then managed successful racing teams for others before setting up his own Hawk Racing squad. Stuart’s career also included several years at Mallory Park.
The previous operating company went into administration after a series of problems associated with the contravening of agreed noise regulations.
Both men commented ‘We realise that there is a lot of bridge building to be done with the local community, but Mallory Park has been here for a long time and we are hopeful that with understanding all round it will have a long and successful future. We would like to thank circuit owner Chris Meek for giving us the opportunity of re- establishing Mallory Park and also Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for advice regarding noise issues and the community.’
The pair will now set upon a programme of works to get the circuit into shape for the forthcoming season and are planning on staging their first race meeting in the spring, together with a programme of practice and track hire days.
Good news indeed. |
