Castle Combe Circuit is has announced that with immediate effect Rodney Gooch will take up the role of Motorcycle Co-ordinator to further develop the circuit's two-wheel activities.Rodney, an ex TT rider who competed during the late 1960s and early 1970s, has been with Castle Combe Circuit for over 22 years as Sales and Marketing Director responsible for the majority of all sales and marketing activities across the board. However, this new part-time role will, for the first time, give the circuit a dedicated motorcycle specialist.For 2014, the annual Castle Combe Circuit race meeting will take place over two days on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June and will be close to Rodney's heart as the circuit works to develop the event into one of the largest motorcycle race meetings outside of the British Superbike Championship.In addition, the circuit was probably the first to organise directly-run motorcycle track days almost 20 years ago, plus have developed other motorcycle related products including rider safety training days, the now well established BikeSafe and Castle Combe Track Day event in April and also plays host to various manufacturer and major dealer private track events and specialist race development days.Already backed by a small portfolio of motorcycle partners including Fowlers Motorcycles, MCD Insurance, BLD, Somerset Road Safety and Avon Tyres, one of Gooch's responsibilities will be to strengthen these ties and to bring in new partners to further build the circuit's motorcycling portfolio.Rodney commented on his appointment: "It will be 10 years since we ran the Castle Combe Superbike Grand National, the biggest event in Castle Combe's history, and I will be working hard to make the 2014 two day event run by the NG Road Racing Club an event that riders want to come to compete in and spectators want to come to see and to grow the event into the largest race meeting outside of BSB. We are fortunate having a great range of motorcycle partners and I am already in discussion with others to further widen the motorcycle activities at the circuit."For further information contact the circuit office on 01249 782417 or email sales@castlecombecircuit.co.uk.
