The Track
An exciting new addition to the Red Bull Pro Nationals calendar, it's going to take almost a week of flat-out graft for our team to sculpt a custom-built motocross track into the beach at the famous Somerset coastal resort. The track's going to be incredibly intense with lap times around the two-minute mark although these will lengthen as the circuit is guaranteed to cut up rough creating loads of lines and some great racing.
