Hosted by the Langrish Club, the British Championship, once again heads back to <strong>Foxhill</strong> MX Track for the 2022<br />
season. The track first hosted the British Championship back in 2019. After two failed attempts due to weather<br />
conditions, the event in 2019 was a huge success that brought in a huge crowd. Being so successful in 2019 the<br />
British championship returned in 2021 after a season out due to Covid-19.<br />
The event in 2021 was again hugely successful,<br />
which attracted a massive crowd with spectacular<br />
racing from all classes that attended.<br />
This year we will see the addition of the SW85 class<br />
tackle the highland track along with the BW85, 125cc,<br />
250cc, MX2 and MX1 class return for the 2022<br />
season.<br />
In 2021 Shaun Simpson contended for the MX1 class<br />
and although taking his first race win of the season<br />
he was unsuccessful outridden by Harri Kullas who<br />
was crowned as the MX1 champion of <strong>Foxhill</strong>. Steven<br />
Clarke invaded the MX2 class winning both the<br />
Expert and MX2 championship with a total score of<br />
45 points over the round.<br />
Despite hosting one of the best British motocross tracks in the country, Langrish Club has not always raced here. Before <strong>Foxhill</strong>,<br />
the club raced at the memorable Manor Farm track, home to the Ken Hall trophy and Ken Hall International after they were<br />
handed the track from Waterlooville club in 1999. It was the intentions of Langrish club to take Ken Hall International to its 50th<br />
birthday. The event was then retired in 2016 and with that, Langrish Club took a one year break before moving down to <strong>Foxhill</strong><br />
after the Manor Farm track was sold.<br />
Since Langrish Club took over the track, Paul Cook and Ron Field the track builder at <strong>Foxhill</strong> added a new section at the entrance<br />
to the valley, re-designed the finish area, repositioned the start and added two more turns before the valley section and a lake<br />
was built to hold water to keep the track in its best condition. The most changes made to the track since 2008 when the amenity<br />
was further developed and improved with the eventual aim to provide the best racing facility.<br />
<strong>Foxhill</strong> Moto Park although currently managed by the Langrish Club, has been a major venue in the British motocross<br />
industry since 1983. During which the venue has hosted events for every level of the sport from youth riders and<br />
armatures through to the professional and MXGP riders, like Stephan Everts who competed at the round in 2021.
