BRITISH EXTREME SUPER SERIES RD2 – ULTIMATE EDGE – Leighton Hall, LA5 9ST

Event Phone: 07557 447084

Round 2 of the NEW 2023 British Extreme Super Series will take place at the stately home of Leighton Hall, Carnforth, LA5 9ST on Sunday 26th February. The aim of the BESS is to raise the extreme scene within the UK so we hope you will all get behind us by supporting this new series!

Following on from an awesome start to it at FatCat Motoparc with Fast Eddy Racing – Round 2 will have a different format. The Pro class will have to complete 2 laps to get a finish, and the rest of the field will have to complete 1 lap. There will still be Bronze, Silver and Gold Check Points. THE AIM IS FOR EVERYONE TO FINISH!

2023 will see an easier course compared to 2022. The first main wood wont be in the lap this time due to new trees being planted. The end of Gold will be harder for the Pro’s on the 2nd lap, almost like a proper Xtreme Loop. More finer details will be coming soon!
