RACERS ON THE HIGH STREET
Over the last 5 years we have put some of the most iconic Grand-Prix , World Superbikes and British Superbikes on our town-centre circuit. These bikes have brought the sounds and sights of road racing to the Parade track in Brackley. For 2018 we will trace the domination of the great Italian makes through their heydays of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and their resurgence during the early years of the 2000s.

Most of these fabulous bikes will Parade on track but where parading is not possible those bikes will be fired-up and you will at least hear the engines that once ruled the world.
