The 2023 Arenacross Tour presented by Fix Auto UK lands at P&J Live in Aberdeen this weekend for flat-out indoor British Motocross Championship race action, and jaw-dropping Freestyle Motocross (FMX) tricks and spectacular whips.

The Scottish stop of the Tour makes up rounds three and four of the series. The Arena opens its doors at 6.30pm on Saturday the 28th of January, with rider autograph signing in the foyer and the chance to stock up on refreshments and Arenacross merchandise before the 7.30 show opening. The arena bowl reopens at 3.30pm on Sunday the 29th, with a matinee performance starting at 4.30pm.

On the local-rider front, three-times British Motocross Champion and Motocross Grand Prix winner Shaun Simpson, from Fife, will be battling the very best British motocross racers, including the reigning British MX1 champion Tommy Searle and British MX2 champion Conrad Mewse. They will muscle their way through qualifying races where the top four from each of two groups is guaranteed a place in the Main Final. The remaining riders have three chances to earn a place on the all-important final start line. First in a series of eliminator Head-to-Head races where the last man standing gets a place, then in a Last Chance Qualifier which is a brutal four-lap dash to the line where there can only be one winner, and finally the audience gets to vote by text to put their favourite rider through.

There will be plenty for a partisan crowd to cheer as Simpson will be joined in the arena by Pro Am riders Sam Rayner from Isle of Arran and Ralph Yeaman from Perth. Jack Arthur from Fife will be contesting the Futures group, while young six-year Ollie Hain from St Andrews will be flying the Saltire in the smallest category of Arenacross, the AX-E5 Electric British Championship.

The show is a high-octane mix of indoor Motocross racing and Freestyle MX carefully choreographed into a three-hour live performance that includes lasers, pyrotechnics and unscripted fun. It’s a brilliant family night out that’s suitable for all ages.
