Round 3 takes place on Saturday 28th January and Round 4 on Sunday 29th January with limited tickets still available.
In the Pro class, GTCI Revo Kawasaki’s Tommy Searle holds a one-point lead in the Arenacross British Championship going into this weekend, one point ahead of Crendon Fastrack Honda’s Conrad Mewse, with his teammate Josh Gilbert holding third.
A battered and bruised Jack Brunell of the Troy Lee Designs GasGas team made it onto the box at round two and following his crash with Joe Clayton will be looking to hone in on the series leaders, as will Clayton who had a weekend to forget in Belfast. The experienced Adam Chatfield put in two consistent rounds and will looking to put Fus Geartec Husqvarna on the box and holds fourth in the standings.
The eyes of the home crowd will be on Scottish star Shaun Simpson who didn’t have the best of Belfast weekends but did show glimpses that he could be a contender at later rounds and he will be keen to give the Scottish fans something to cheer about.
The racing in the Pro Am class was entertaining to say the least. Josh Greedy put in a solid performance in Belfast but Sion Talbot won on Friday and will be one to watch as will Travis Steels and Dirt Hub test rider Kyle Lane who all nailed heat wins in the opening weekend.
Charley Irwin warmed the cockles of the home crowd in Belfast and tops the standings in the AX Futures class but Reece Ross and Joel Fisher are only 2 and 4 points behind so expect an intense battle this weekend in Aberdeen.

In the AX Superminis Isaac Ash was a stand out performer going unbeaten over the whole weekend in Northern Ireland. Harry Lee was Ash’s closest challenger and him, Lewis Spratt, and Austin Beasty will all be keen to hone in on the series leader in Scotland.
Casey Lister took three out of four wins in AX 65cc Youth category in Belfast but the one race he didn’t win cost him the round 2 overall which was won by Ethan Gawley who sits just 5 points behind Lister after two rounds. John Slade is also on the pace after four solid rides in Belfast.
