Noise limits introduced for Supermotos

The ACU has announced a 98Db noise limit for Supermoto machines, which comes into effect from March 1, 2004.

The decision brings Supermotos in line with Motocross, following talks with the major manufacturers and some of the circuits and promoters. It also means the single-cylinder bark will be a bit more muted at this year’s MCN-backed official 2004 British Championship which begins in March. For registration information follow this link.

The dates for the 2004 championship are:

Round 1. March 20-21. Lydd International Raceway, Kent.

Round 2. Aprial 3-4. Karting North East, Sunderland.

Round 3. April 17-18. Llandow Circuit, Cardiff.
