The past masters’ sessions will have multiple themes including Suzuki RG500/GP and, in conjunction with Ducati UK, a Ducati World Superbike feature plus dozens of others to make up the greatest grid of motorcycle racing stars ever assembled.

Present will be household stars such as Kevin Schwantz, John Cooper, Marco Lucchinelli, Frankie Chili, Dave Croxford, Carl Fogarty, Mick Grant, Neil Hodgson, Tepi Lansivuori, Randy Mamola, Sammy Miller (Guzzi V8), Trevor Nation, Phil Read, Jim Redman, Terry Rymer, Christian Sarron, Ian Simpson, Paul Smart, Malc Wheeler and more, plus the largest gathering of genuine ex-works Suzuki RG500s ever assembled in the modern era.
