supermoto @ Brands?

[pauldavid]

I have just returned from the BEMSEE meeting at Brands, where the commentator mentioned that they are trying to put together two rounds at Brands this winter. Now i know that all you lot out there are much more in the know than me so come on spill the beans, whats the details, will it really happen, who will promote it, will Octogon season tickets cover these events. Having never been to a supermoto what sort of riders take part, Track racers, Moto Xers, Road racers? I have watched this on Motors T.V. and the way they throw the bikes around should make for some interesting races. Shame Haga's not available he certainly knows how to throw a bike sideways and drift the rear wheel out. Anyway fingers crossed this could be just what we need down south to help us through the winter days until racing starts.
