Plans for the British Motorcycle Racing Club's Centenary Meeting at Brands Hatch over the weekend of April 19 have just been announced, along with a title sponsor in the shape of EDIasia.
The timetable features six of the Club’s current classes, The MRO Morello Powerbikes and the MRO Triumph Triple Challenge Series are two of the Club’s premier events featuring bikes at the leading edge of the sport.
There’s Bemsee favorites, the MZ Racing Club, the Norfolkline Yamaha Past Masters Series and the EDIasia Formula 400’s as well as the hugely popular Minitwins series mainly featuring Suzuki SV650 twins.
Classic races will cover an Open 501-1300 Class for bikes aged 1930-74, A Post-Classic Class for bikes from 1974 onwards and a Classic 500 Class, 1930-74. The Lansdowne Club will be running Round 2 of their 2009 Championships, an invitation only event for pre-1962 Grand Prix thoroughbreds.
To complete the racing line up will be the Morgan Three-Wheeler Club racing alongside old timer sidecars, machines up to 1974. Both days will feature historic parades as well covering bikes from the turn of the last Century in the “Brooklands Celebration” parade to Post-War Classics. There will also be memories evoked of the famous Hutchinson 100 races held later at Brands Hatch through to 1976, in the “Hutchinson Parade”.
The paddock will feature displays from a wide range of owners clubs of past and present marques including bikes from the Brooklands museum.
