New Maxxis 2011 event planner
Looking forward to an action-packed season of drifting, British
Superbike and motocross events, while also continuing to raise its
profile at the UK's leading performance car shows, Maxxis
has developed an event planner to help retailers keep track of its
activities.
Available as a free download from the Maxxis website,
www.maxxis.co.uk, the planner lists all the events which
Maxxis will be attending this year, along with the
ever-popular Maxxis Babes, who will be mingling with fans,
posing for photographs and handing out giveaways.
For Maxxis the 'events season' commences in March, with
the first two rounds of the Maxxis ACU British Motocross
Championship, and then gets into full swing in April, with further
motocross action plus round one of the British Superbike
Championship and the Maxxis British Drift Championship
opener.
This year the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship visits
eight well-known venues up and down the UK - starting at Little
Silver in Exeter and travelling to Kent, Norfolk, Northampton and
Wiltshire. Major crowds are expected when the series reaches
Northern Ireland in June - the Desertmartin track is situated in
the foothills of the Sperrin Mountains yet is just a 30-minute
drive from Belfast International Airport - and for Scotland's event
at the Duns circuit in August, while all eyes will be on
Shropshire's Hawkstone Park for the 2011 season
finale.
Maxxis will be at all 12 rounds of the British Superbike
Championship, the UK's premier motorcycle racing series, which gets
underway in April with the first of three visits to Brands
Hatch. Twenty-two teams, representing all the major
manufacturers, will be contesting the spoils at packed venues
around the country, as the series takes in the picturesque Oulton
Park, heads to Cadwell Park over the August bank holiday weekend
for the biggest BSB round and puts Snetterton 300 - the new
three-mile circuit being created at the Norfolk venue - to the
test.
Fans of the Maxxis British Drift Championship can look
forward to 'adrenalin-fuelled high speed twin drift battles' when
the series opens at Donington Park in mid-April. The Semi Pro
and Professional class will each comprise five rounds, while a new
Super Professional class comprising six events has been added for
2011 and all of these will run alongside the popular team
competition. Maxxis will have a major presence at
each event, including its new hospitality unit, as the high octane
series moves to Norfolk, Teeside and Scotland before arriving at
the Nissan factory in Sunderland for the decider.
As a Platinum Partner of special interest media company Future,
Maxxis will be attending four of the UK's top car shows,
where the emphasis is on performance, styling and
tuning. Following its highly successful debut at
AutoSport International in Birmingham in January, Maxxis will meet
up with performance fans again in May at the increasingly popular
Japfest, which takes place at historic Castle Combe. Maxxis
will also attend this summer's major Ford and Vauxhall shows and
will conclude its promotional activities in August at Japfest
Evolution.
"We've got a packed events schedule ahead of us, during which we
intend to build on the superb response we received at AutoSport
International as we promote the Maxxis brand to key audiences at
some of the country's top motorsports championships and car shows,
and trust retailers will find the planner a useful way of keeping
up to date with our activities," says Maxxis International
UK's managing director Derek McMartin.
