peter hickman among attractions at castle combe

Peter Hickman is the latest name to be added to the attractions at the Castle Combe Grand National – the West Country’s biggest bike race meeting.
 
The Smiths Racing BMW star will join a list of celebrities at the annual event which this year is supported by Motorcycle Accident Management Services (McAMS) and which takes place at the Wiltshire track 1/2 September.
 
Hickman became the fastest ever rider around the Isle of Man TT course when he set a lap record of 135.452mph on his way to winning this year’s Senior TT aboard the Gloucester-based Smiths BMW. As well as success on the Isle of Man, Hicky won a race at the North West 200 to add to his four Ulster Grand Prix victories.
 
Hickman is scheduled to do a few demonstration laps on the ex-Broc Parkes PBM Aprilia MotoGP bike as campaigned by the Australian racer back in 2014.

Tickets are selling well for the Saturday evening when three-times World Champion ‘Fast’ Freddie Spencer and former 500cc Grand Prix racer and British Champion Steve Parrish regale the audience with their stories from yesteryear in the Strawford Centre.
 
The following day TT legend Ian Hutchinson and Bennetts BSB rider Leon Haslam will join Spencer and Parrish, as well as other celebrity guests for a day of fun, covered by a VIP package ticket.
