Over 1,500 visitors put in a time on the BSB RiDE Sim Racing Challenge, supported by the British Superbike Championship – joining the likes of BSB stars Glenn Irwin, Peter Hickman and Kyle Ryde who also raced. 

Brand-new for 2024, the Festival Zone and revamped Black Horse Stagewowed audiences with adrenaline-pumping performances by stunt riders across several disciplines, including Trials, Street and Freestyle Motocross. Hosted by Matt Crowhurst and James Whitham, the stage offered fans the chance to get up close and personal with racers and riding celebrities – including 2024 World Superbike Champion, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu.
