Deans fine form for Farleigh

The Farleigh Castle Vets Motocross event is set to return on the weekend of 12th and 13th September 2026, once again taking place at the iconic Farleigh Castle Grand Prix circuit in Somerset. Renowned as a staple of the veteran motocross calendar, this event attracts a strong field of competitors, with the All 125 class generating particular excitement. The quarter litre bike category promises intense competition, featuring a host of impressive riders who are expected to deliver thrilling racing action. Luke Dean is one of the standout names heading into the 2026 event, having delivered a remarkable performance at Farleigh Castle in 2025. Dean’s consistency and speed were evident in his 2-1-1-2 finishes across the motos, marking him as a leading contender in the highly competitive 125 class. With his confidence high and form intact, Dean will be the rider to watch, though he faces stiff competition from former enduro specialist Daryl Bolter and front-runner Matt Coles. American rider Robbie Horton, with a strong background in US amateur motocross, is also tipped as a potential dark horse, adding further intrigue to the class. The event format includes practice sessions and two full-length races on both Saturday and Sunday, providing ample track time for riders and plenty of action for spectators. Beyond the racing, organisers have committed to keeping the event accessible by freezing spectator and camping prices at 2024 levels. This decision underlines their dedication to maintaining Farleigh Castle Vets MX as a welcoming and affordable experience for riders, families, and fans alike. In addition to the on-track excitement, the weekend promises a vibrant atmosphere with the return of the popular beer tent on Friday and Saturday evenings, alongside a diverse selection of food and beverage vendors. The trade village will also feature prominently, with well-known retailer The Range headlining the lineup. This combination of competitive racing and community-focused entertainment ensures that the Farleigh Castle Vets MX remains a highlight of the British motocross calendar.
