The organisers of the inaugural Eppynt Welsh Road Races – due to take place in August 2018 – have confirmed that the event will now be staged over three days instead of the original two announced at Motorcycle Live at the NEC in Birmingham last month.
Riders liaison director Steve Plater said: “With 200 road race competitors having already registered their intention to ride at the inaugural races in 2018, the organisers have negotiated the extra day in the interests of safety.
“The 2018 Eppynt Welsh Road Race will now take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 3-5 August, with Friday being used for all riders to learn the new 5.25-mile course, followed by practice. Saturday and Sunday will be dedicated to two full days of racing.”
Plater continued: “Ticket sales are continuing to grow and proving to be better than we expected with more than 30 weeks to go before the Brecon Beacons become alive to the sound of music – racing motorcycles at ‘full chat’!”
