MX Goat Launches Three-Round “King Of The Sand” Winter Series to kickstart 2024!

Not just another series to compete with all the other ones, but a fully-planned Winter Series has been set up to be run during the first three months of the year. Motocross coach Gary Taylor of MX Goat has got two all-weather circuits, that he regularly uses for training, booked for the Winter Series to get the cob-webs blown out before most of the big Championships begin.

Words: Ben Rumbold / Gary Taylor

KING OF THE SAND is the name of the series, and as the name suggests it will all be on sandy circuits that will run no matter the weather at the height of the Northern English winter! Here is Gary’s declaration of intent for the new series:

We’re bringing you an all-new Winter Series as a build-up before the big races start in 2024. With a racer’s mindset this meeting is all about the riders, and I will deliver a Winter Series like no other. With big prize money on the line for every group, MX Goat Racing will help change the sport in 2024.

We will have non-top racing all weekend, and we will witness the very best in the UK using their skills on challenging sand tracks.

To all riders, I would say – Don’t miss the opportunity to perform at the ultimate Motocross Showdown and experience intensity and excitement, and action that only the MX Goat can deliver.

Round 1: 27th & 28th January 2024 – Location: Preston Docks, Lancashire
Round 2: 17th & 18th February 2024 – Location: Preston Docks, Lancashire
Round 3: 23rd & 24th March 2024 – Location: FatCat Motoparc, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

Jut to show how serious Gary is, he has already moved the original dates to ensure that there is no clash with races at Hawkstone Park such as the International and the opening round of the Fastest 40 series.

There will be three races per class per day, for each of the six days of the series.

The classes and race distances will be:
