Beach Race.

RHL Activities Limited, the organisers of the Weston Beach Race, are currently investigating the feasibility of rescheduling the race for Sunday 18th October 2009, following the cancellation of this weekend's main solo event due to a major crash shortly after the start.

An announcement will be made regarding the rescheduling of the event through normal media outlets, and on the official event website at www.wbruk.com, on Tuesday 13th October.

Just seen a local news report on the event.
St Johns Ambulance won't cover the event so therefore it can't be rerun this weekend as no cover.
There appear to be a few handbags being drawn between RHL and the council, and the report suggested that the event may be no more with the organisers looking at other beaches.
Sad day I say.
Maybe it had all become a bit too big and commercial, but then again that's the way of the world isn't it?

Definately sad, I know some have thought it a rip off, but as a spectacle its awesome in my eyes. Its also the only motorsport my wife watches and enjoys as its so mad. To be honest £20 to get in isnt that bad, plenty of people pay a larger sum of money to watch 3rd division football, why, because thats what floats their boat
Lets hope its going to be sorted out. Its as much a British motorsport spectacle as Rally GB

It make no difference to me what beach its on. I go to see the race not the beach.
If western refuse's to host it again that's there loss. I know for sure Id never visit that beach if it weren't for the race. lol
