The final round of the Proppa.com! British Supermoto Championship takes place at the fabulous Kirkistown circuit on November 21st 2009. This event is run in conjunction with the P & O Winter series one of the longest running and highest regarded Supermoto races in the World. For those who haven’t ridden in Northern Ireland before it is really worth making the effort as it is one of the things every Supermoto racer needs to do (like Mettet or Pleven) at least once.

The organisation is spot on and there is a unique atmosphere that can only be found across the water. As many riders found out last year when we ran at Bishopscourt it’s really good to race against riders that you never come across week in week out, as all the Irish supermoto riders turn out for this series. You will probably also find yourself banging ‘bars with a top TT racer or World superbike rider or two!

Kirkistown is a permanent race circuit one of the oldest in Ireland and has been recently upgraded with fantastic facilities including a 3 story clubhouse with bar & restaurant overlooking the circuit. It is under an hour from Belfast centre on the beautiful Ards peninsular. All the features you would expect from a top venue, showers, electric, great paddock, etc are all present and more info can be obtained from www.kirkistown.com There are also a number of videos on You tube etc taken from on board cameras which will give you a flavour of the circuit, for this final round we are also hoping to have an extended off road created to welcome British Championship riders.

Getting there is quite easy and as the meeting is sponsored by P & O there are subsidised ferries from Cairnryan to Larne, the time table and cost is listed below and to take advantage of this deal just ring Jan or Sam on 02891 873670 who will take care of all the details for you.

Motorsport Travel (01759 301010 Donna or Craig) or Nutt Travel (028 7035 1199) both specialise in discount ferry travel for racers and will find the best deal to suit your location.

Elite, Lites Clubman, SXV and Quads are all featured at this meeting and competitors can enter the separate P & O race’s as well. We run alongside the Irish classes so all riders will be in their natural ability groups which is a real bonus. Entry fees will be £70 to £80 depending on final numbers and insurance costs.
