- Thundersprint abstract "The Thundersprint is a unique motorcycle event held every year in the second weekend in May. [1]There are track sessions, with sprint races, cavalcades and a mammoth trade area. Unusually for a motorsport event, the Thundersprint is aimed as much at families with no interest in motorcycles or racing as it is hard core bike fans. [2]The first Thundersprint was held at Hoghton Tower, near Blackburn, and then it moved to Wigan, Southport, Manchester and eventually Northwich, Cheshire as it grew in size.The Thundersprint stayed ten years in Northwich where, according to a report commissioned by Cheshire West and Chester Council, it attracted 145,000 visitors and brought £7.3 million into the local economy. [3]These figures made the Thundersprint one of the largest motorcycling events in the world in terms of attendance and of significant economic importance to the area.At the heart of the event are the sprint races and there are classes mainly for classic motorcycles but with some more modern bikes. The races have attracted a fantastic entry of world class stars including six times World Champion Jim Redman and 15 times World Champion Giacomo Agostini. There have been lots of modern stars too including James Toseland, Cal Crutchlow, Ryuichi Kiyonari, Chris Walker and many others. From outside the world of motorcycling, Top Gear's James May, and Olympic athlete James Cracknell have also ridden in the Thundersprint sprint races and cavalcade. [4]Away from the track there was over a mile of trade stands at Northwich, a big fair and even a fine food centre but probably the highlight for most spectators was the display by an RAF Spitfire. [5]In 2104, the Thundersprint will move to the Darley Moor Circuit which is right in the centre of the country near to Derby and which will be the event’s permanent home. [6]".
