The Red Bull Pro Stroke National returns to Sellindge MX in August when it lines up alongside the 2-Stroke Festival, delivering a fast-paced and innovative action-packed programme, backed up with cash prizes.
For motocross riders, whether they be Pro/Expert or Clubmen MX1 and MX2 riders the first weekend in August is a must-do event, especially when it gets the nod of approval from Red Bull.
The event that started out as a Mecca for two-stroke racers, looking to get high on a weekend of pre-mix fumes and fun times with like-minded people, quickly evolved. And, when local Clubman four-stroke riders asked to join the party, they were welcomed with open arms.
The Red Bull Pro Stroke National is also unique in that 250 and 450 riders race together, yet are scored separately. Over the years its gained the attention of Pro riders such as Tommy Searle, Billy Bolt, Nathan Watson, Jonny Walker, Bradley Smith, Dylan Walsh, Adam Sterry and Taylor Hamil, to name but a few.
It brought the 450 debut of multi-British champ Conrad Mewse to the motocross-loving public as well as the adult race debut of Billy Askew. It is an event that continues to push the boundaries like no other. For 2025, a Red Bull Pit Bikes Knock-Out is rumoured to be in the mix … which should be interesting!
There’s little doubt that the Red Bull Pro Stroke National has emerged as a proving ground for aspirational motocross racers.
Event promoter Dave Willet said, “Myself and my team can’t wait to get this brilliant annual event underway this August. The increased support of Red Bull will make the Pro Stroke National even more attractive. We’ll have our usual huge incentives for riders which we have also continued to do with Apico for many years. This should guarantee close and exciting action for spectators.
“With the Apico 2–Stroke Festival and Red Bull Pro Stroke National we believe we have created, not just a fun meeting for all to enjoy, but something special for the racers with many incredible incentives and a pathway for amateur riders to transition to Pro!
“We look forward to seeing everyone in August.”
The 2025 Red Bull Pro Stroke National and Apico 2-Stroke Festival will take place over the weekend of the 1st to 3rd of August at Sellindge MX, Kent.
