Bristol based MOLSON GROUP have become a major sponsor of the acclaimed RHL Beach Race at Weston-Super-Mare for the first time this year, 15th – 17th October.

Molson are one of the country’s biggest independent equipment dealers in the UK construction industry, although they are well known beyond our shores operating around the world, their Chairman Bob Barnett told us they are in fact celebrating their 15th anniversary in October 2010 and having the opportunity to support the RHL Weston Beach Race, which is a local event that is internationally recognised, was the perfect opportunity for them.

Although Molson have a number of international partnerships one of their strongest is the relationship with Hyundai Heavy Industries –  indeed they are  the biggest Hyundai dealer in Europe – and at Molson’s request Hyundai have provided us with the heavy machines (excavators and wheeled loaders) that will be used for two weeks to build the track  on the beach, and of course to return it to its normal state after everyone has gone home.
 
This year the RHL Beach Race sees the addition of the side-by-side racing on the Friday, making the event three days – October 15th – 17th. Pre sale tickets for the event are extremely busy with the additional day of Friday out selling expectations.

Molson say they were pleased to help out: “We know safety is a priority and the Hyundai machines are very reliable, with fine handling and control, all Hyundai machines come with features like full-colour reversing cameras fitted as standard by the manufacturer.”

The 2010 race will see a “one-off” renewal of Molson’s relationship with local legend Tom Church; Tom, a hugely popular professional motocross rider (and incidentally the son of well known Mike Church, himself former British AMCA Champion), used to ride for the Molson-Kawasaki racing team, which had great success on the international circuit until the team retired from the sport two years ago.

As well as sponsoring Tom Church, the Molson Group will also be sponsoring a popular amateur rider from Bridgwater, Martyn Tucker, no stranger to the RHL Weston Beach Races. Martyn, who got his initial training with Jaguar Cars, now finds it a struggle to find time to race as he is also the founder &  Managing Director of  Hydra-Tech, a local engineering firm that provides after- sales  support to users of heavy construction equipment (Hydra-Tech is itself  now a part of the growing Molson business empire).
 
A highlight will be the attendance of two Red Bull athletes, including 10 times World Trials Champion Dougie Lampkin who will be providing various trials demos over the weekend and World Enduro Champion David Knight who will be competing once again in the RHL Weston Beach Race.

The main race will see the riders, scramble around the specially constructed track, over sandbanks large and small, at speeds of up to 100mph.

The RHL Beach Race attracts generations of families, who have competed in the race from its initial start 28 years ago, from all over the country and Europe.
 
Interest is such that even the RAF are sending a contingent to the event, so don’t be surprised to see a sophisticated supersonic aircraft on display on the Esplanade, alongside some of the Molson Hyundai machines!
 
Tickets can still be purchased from 01873 840 640 or via the internet at http://www.wbruk.com/

Road Racing fans favourites Chris Walker and Tommy Bridewell are turning their attention from the tarmac to the sand on the 17th October for the 2010 RHL Weston Beach Race at Weston-Super-Mare. One of the most popular British Superbike riders Chris Walker will once again be racing in this year’s solo event; this will be Chris’ 10th time racing at the well established event.

Chris has always been a fond supporter of off road and started his career as a top motocross racer before turning his attentions to the tarmac and becoming a winner of British and World Superbike races in the process.

Chris is once again looking forward to competing in the RHL Weston Beach Race saying “I’ve done the Weston Beach Race around nine times, I think maybe more! I rode it the first time when I was 14 on a KX100 and I’ve been doing it ever since when it hasn’t clashed with World or British Superbikes. My fondest memory of the beach race was in 2008 when my all round motocross hero Josh Coppins passed me really close down the start straight, glanced at me and gave me the thumbs up! My best finish was 14th place but that was a long time ago before the grey hairs started to appear. The Weston ‘Rocks’, where else can an average Joe like me compete against the best off road riders in the World? It gets bigger and better every year and I’m sure twenty ten will be no different!”

A newcomer for this year’s RHL Weston Beach Race is one of the most likeable riders in the British Superbike paddock, Tommy Bridewell. 21-year-old Bridewell who comes from Devizes has set himself the challenge of battling it out in the sand to see how he matches up. Being a local to Weston-Super-Mare he will no doubt bring plenty of support with him to cheer him on.

He said “I’m really looking forward to finally racing at the Beach Race; I have been to watch for the last five years and also used to do my late brother (Ollie’s) pit stops when he competed there. I’m really hoping it stays dry this year for my first time and hoping my fitness will hold me in good stead for a solid result at the end of the three ish hours. Our Superbike season finishes the week before at Oulton Park and I will be making sure I spend that following week preparing myself for the Beach Race, I can’t wait!”

RHL Activities are delighted to announce that the 2010 Weston Beach Race will take place on the weekend of the 15th – 17th October 2010. After the problems that were encountered in the 2009 race, the 2010 event was under scrutiny and in doubt if it would run or not. RHL Activities Director, Gareth Hockey, is thrilled that once again, for the 28th year the event will take place and is guaranteed to be bigger and better than ever.

Gareth Hockey has secured a five year plan for Weston Beach Race, one of the biggest off road events on the race calendar and he is hoping the changes and improvements, which are planned, will continue to see the event grow to an exceptional standard. The race has attracted some of the biggest names in the industry with multi World MX Champion Stefan Everts being a regular contender and in recent years he has battled it out with recently crowned World Enduro (E3) Champion David Knight.

The 2010 Beach Race has once again attracted their regular main sponsors of Red Bull, Doodson Motorsport, Polaris and Rock Oil who have pledged their support for this year’s weekend Beach Race Festival.

This year the Festival will run across three days starting on the Friday with the introduction of the new side-by-side (Poloaris Ranger Rzr ATV) race. On Saturday there will be a youth quad race and a 65cc race followed by the traditional adult quad and sidecar races in the afternoon. Sunday will see the youth 85cc race and the normal headline adult solo race in the afternoon. The weekend is set to be action packed with a constant flow of races to watch and take part in throughout the weekend.
