The Red Bull Pro Stroke National returns to the Apico 2-Stroke Festival at Sellindge MX in Kent, on Sunday the 18th of August, with a significant cash prize pot that possibly represents the largest reward fund for a one-off motocross event in the UK.

The 2024 Apico 2-Stroke Festival, incorporating the Red Bull Pro Stroke National, will run for three days from Friday the 16th to Sunday the 18th of August. It is set to feature a full-on three days of competitive top-class motocross action, catering for youngsters on 85cc small-wheel bikes right the way through to the very best MX1 and MX2 Pro racers.

The Red Bull Pro Stroke National has provided action-packed racing thanks to the number of top riders attracted to the south-east based Festival, including the likes of reigning British MX1/MX Nationals MX1 Champ Conrad Mewse, multi-British MX Champion Tommy Searle, Apico’s Martin Barr, Dylan Walsh and Bradd Todd, to name but a few. Rapidly rising MX star Billy Askew jumped straight from the youth scene into MX2 last year and wowed the crowd by winning the Red Bull Pro-Stroke National MX2 in his first attempt.

Promoter Dave Willet said; “It’s very satisfying to give a return to the riders for their support and efforts. While it’s great to see the Pros entertain spectators over the years, it’s also rewarding for me to see young riders transitioning between the youth and Pro ranks.”

The incentives on offer for the nation’s MX1 and MX2 Red Bull Pro Stroke National competitors make this, yet again, a must-do summer-time motocross event where top-class racing mixes with a fun and relaxed family atmosphere.

Red Bull backs a wide range of athletes around the world and views ground-breaking events such as the Festival as a clear pathway for young  talent to shine.

With the best MX1 and MX2 riders battling for glory and putting on a display of action-packed races, the 2024 Red Bull Pro Stroke National is set to be the best yet.

Gearing up for an action-packed weekend of racing, the ever-evolving Apico 2-Stroke Festival, featuring the Red Bull Pro-Stroke National, returns to Sellindge in Kent this summer with a three-day celebration of motocross from the 16th to the 18th of August.

A key element of the weekend is the classic Red Bull Noughties class, which runs on both Saturday and Sunday. It’s a unique class of hard-working riders and machines delivering the sound of 2-stroke motocross machines from the glory years of 2000-2008 for riders aged 25-years and over.

In 2023, Charlie Nudds was the class’s clear winner, but many others will be eyeing the prize this year.

The sound, the smell, the vibe … the Red Bull Noughties offers an intoxicating cocktail that mixes old-school 2-stroke racing with modern-day technology, and fun.

According to Apico 2-Stroke Festival promoter Dave Willet; “These machines are something special – a real blast from the past. If you own a machine from this era, you’ll love this class! Entries are filling quickly, so I urge riders to sign up and experience what the Red Bull Noughties is all about.”

Entries are now available – BOOK HERE!
