The first round of the 2024 GH Motorcycles/Husqvarna ACU Eastern Enduro Championship takes place in Thetford Forest on Sunday 25th February.

All eyes will be on the current Champion Luke Parker – RWT MPM Kawasaki 450 Kawasaki who will be battling it out with GH M/Cs rider Ben Cole – 450 Husky, Shaun Southgate 450 Yamaha and Ben Clarke – 300 Beta UK.

Nine times World Enduro Champion Steve Holcombe - Red Moto Honda 250 and former British Enduro Champion Alex Snow – 350 Gas Gas have both entered the event. However, event favourite must be Parker who is the master of the Thetford terrain with the ability to put in very quick times with or without berms.

The Santon Enduro continues to be popular and filled up with 200 riders in less than 10 minutes with riders making the journey from all over the UK.

 The start time will be 09.00 with the test timed on the first two laps for all classes. In a change for 2024 we are planning for championship to do at least 2 “back-to-back” tests on lap 3, and possibly 3 if there is sufficient time. Therefore, the Championship riders won’t be riding the course on lap 3. The first rider on the test is at 9.03 and Championship and Expert riders should have 5 laps and Clubmen 4 laps.

 As ever, we must thank our long-term sponsors, GH Motorcycles and G&B Finch, plus iD DECALS for providing the rider numbers and coloured backgrounds. Massive thanks to all officials, marshals and helpers that enable us to run this event. We wish all riders a safe and successful day – please respect our forest, use environment mats for machine refuelling and for any generators. Don’t leave any litter and keep the main fire tracks clear as these are first aid access points.

No easy ups: No easy ups are permitted in the refuelling and servicing area at this event as there is not enough space available.

Santon Enduro Waiting List and Entries
Just over 180 entries were fully completed and accepted within 7 minutes of opening and only a limited number of riders had issues with their club membership or licences. The Event Secretary has sorted riders who entered in the wrong class, and we are now starting to accept additional riders from the event waiting list.
 
Any riders on the ‘Waiting List’ please keep checking your emails for a Sport80 message to complete your entry acceptance. Riders accepted will have 48 hours to complete their entry before the place is offered to another rider.
 
Whilst this will leave about 18 places on the waiting list, there is still a good chance of a ride as nearer the event riders generally pull out with injury. Registering on the waiting (reserve list) does not cost money so if you are interested, best to register.
 
In terms of riders entered, competing with the likes of Luke Parker, Ben Cole and Ben Clark and Aaron Gordan will be 9 times World Enduro Champion Steve Holcombe having one of his first competitive rides on a Honda Red Moto 250. Also making the journey will be Alex Snow, former British Enduro Champion.
 
It’s starting to shape up for a great event.
