From a press release issued by Moto1 Promotions:

Moto 1 goes live!

Who is Britain’s best all-round motorcyclist? Which one of our top Road Racers, Motocrossers, Supermoto, Trials and Enduro stars can cut it in all four disciplines and become the UK’s best all-rounder?

Moto 1 Promotions are proud to present Moto 1, a prestigious new event designed to find the UK’s number one all-round motorcycle competitor. It’s all taking place on the 30th and 31st October 2004 at the UK’s premier motorcycle venue, Donington Park.

Moto 1 will see twenty-four of the United Kingdom’s best riders all compete in trials, moto-cross, supermoto and road racing over the two-day event. The rider with the best overall score from the four events will take home the Moto1 plate.

In addition to the multi-discipline Moto1 event, the promoters are planning an action-packed weekend of motorcycle entertainment. Events confirmed so far include the final round of the World Stunt Riding Championship and a freestyle motocross event. Extra entertainment will be provided by the Purple Helmets whilst the infield area will also see a 30,000 sq. ft. covered exhibition featuring displays and trade stands – all with a Bikesport theme.

Further events and activities are currently being negotiated.

Moto1 is the brainchild of Robbie and Margaret Allan, successful promoters of the Scottish Motorcycle show for the past 26 years. They’ve been developing the concept of Moto 1 for the past four years and are looking forward to turning their dream into reality.

“We’ve got an experienced board of directors with recognised pedigrees in motorsport, a perfect venue and we’re looking forward to providing a fantastic weekend’s entertainment.” commented Allan after signing with Donington Park recently. “Donington is the ideal venue for all of our events – it’s got GP-standard facilities, and lots of accessible infield where we will run the motocross and supermoto. There’s even a wooded area well suited to trials,” he continued.

Donington Chief Executive Robert Fearnall has welcomed Moto1 as an ‘exciting addition to the calendar.’ He added, “we are delighted to host a new event that should provide some really good competition combined with maximum attraction as a family day out”.
