The E-Bike class again promises plenty of excitement following its standout showing at Ledbury and boasts the biggest E-Bike entry in Formula Grasstrack history. 2025 Champion Reggie Goodwin returns after taking maximum points at Sparrington Farm, but much of the attention will once again fall on impressive youngster Oscar South, whose debut FGA meeting pushed Goodwin all the way.

In the Cadets, Bodhi Baker and Dalton Wright go head-to-head in what promises to be an exciting battle between two young prospects.
