2024 British Motocross Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 ACU British Motocross Championship season (known for sponsorship reasons as the Dirt Store ACU British Motocross Championship) was the 72nd British Motocross Championship season.

Conrad Mewse started the season as the reigning champion in the MX1 class after he picked up his fourth title in 2023.[1] After initially riding the opening round of the season as a wildcard, 5-time FIM Motocross World Champion Jeffrey Herlings raced the full season and took the title.[2]

In the MX2 class, Swedish rider Isak Gifting was the reigning champion. However he did not defend his title as he focussed on the MXGP class of the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship and the 2024 Italian Prestige Motocross Championship.[3] As in the MX1 class, it was a Dutch rider Cas Valk, who became champion in MX2 in what was his first season riding in the UK.

The second race at the third round at Blaxhall was cancelled due to two race incidents and a separate incident with a member of the crowd leaving the event without enough medical cover.[4]

The fourth round, scheduled to be held at Foxhill, was cancelled in the week leading up to the event due to low entries.[5]

It was later announced that the fifth round at Hawkstone Park would be the first event where the ACU British Motocross Championship ran in conjunction with the rival Fastest 40 series (formerly known as the MX Nationals).
