New operator for Mallory Park
Fresh investment for Mallory should have it up and running for 2014
You'll be fully aware of Mallory's predicament after its previous owners entered administration earlier this year. Today an announcement has been made that a new company, Real Motorsport Limited, will run the circuit on a day to day basis.
Real Motorsport is a collaborative effort between Stuart Hicken and Eddie Roberts, both well know in the motorcycle racing fraternity. Stuart owns the BMW British Superbike Team and Eddie is head of Complog, a motorcycle tyre retailer that also supplies British Superbikes.
Plans are apparently underway already to get the circuit prepared for a full 2014 season of events. The official comment from Hicken and Roberts so far is: 'We realise that there is a lot of bridge building to be done with the local community, but... we would like to thank circuit owner Chris Meek for giving us the opportunity of re-establishing Mallory Park and also Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for advice regarding noise issues and the community'.
Encouraging news for now then. More as we have it!
