Supercross Action Live in Liverpool!

25th & 26th January 2008

It has taken the best part of two years to build the latest stunning new addition to Liverpool's King and Albert dock developments, including the brand new state of the art Liverpool Echo Arena and Convention Centre. Over that time thousands of tons of dirt have been removed from the site to be replaced with a world class steel and glass structure second to none. Fitting for what is turning out to be one of the hottest tourist destinations north of London. It seems a little hard to believe that one of the first events at the arena on the 25th and 26th of January will involve filling the Liverpool Echo Arena back up with dirt, but that is what will be required to stage the most exciting form of indoor motorsport on the planet - Supercross. 

As would be expected for a world class venue's debut some of the world’s best Supercross champions will be in attendance and competing including former US motocross champion Mike Brown who will be representing Honda and the US at this first time ever Liverpool event. Canada's very best riders will also be on hand including Yamaha mounted, six-time Canadian Motocross champ Jean Sebastian Roy (JSR), who will be joined by his young team-mate and fellow Canuck, Colton Facciotti. Facciotti is no stranger to British Supercross, claiming his first British Supercoss title back in 2005 at the unprecedented tender age of 16. Spanish Supercross star Xavier Hernandez will also compete at the event representing Spain and KTM.

The UK will be represented well at Liverpool with former British Supercross and Motocross champ Carl Nunn making his Motovison Suzuki debut as well as another former British Supercross champ, Lewis Gregory of Relentless Suzuki. Many other riders from around the world including Canada, South Africa, France and Belgium will be looking to defend their national pride in what is steadily turning into an international race of champions not just rounds two and three of the British Supercross Championships.

Round one of the series kicked off at Sheffield Arena on the 3rd of November with the final round set to take place at London's newest venue The O2 Arena on the 23rd of February where British Supercross Champions will be crowned.

Tickets are now on sale for both Liverpool and London events. Dancing girls, staging lighting and high octane racing action are just a few sight and sounds of the British Supercross Championship.

Doors open at 6 pm and racing starts at 7pm on both nights.
