Oliver’s Mount Race Circuit has announced that they have agreed terms that will see Suzuki become a circuit sponsor for the 2015 season and the title sponsor for the Barry Sheene Festival.

The event which will be held on June 21st will now be known as ‘The Barry Sheene Festival Powered by Suzuki’.

Oliver’s Mount road race circuit is England’s only natural ‘road’ race track. Situated just five minutes from Scarborough’s town centre, the races have been likened to a ‘miniature TT by the seaside’. Edge of your seat racing, the closest action seen at any race venue, friendly locals and a stunning setting are all key features of a race weekend at Oliver’s Mount.

Importantly, for the racers, the 2.43 mile track has always been regarded as a challenging, tight and twisty circuit, which tests their skills to the maximum. With a racing heritage that dates back to 1946, Oliver’s Mount Race Circuit has a rich history of motor racing and has seen many of the great riders race at ‘The Mount’ over the years.

It is this rich history at Oliver’s Mount and especially the circuits connection with Barry Sheene that made this partnership so obvious to Suzuki GB.
