Tickets are now on sale for the relaunched Barry Sheene Classic and the International Gold Cup at Scarborough’s famous Olivers Mount road racing course.
Duke Marketing, operators of the iomtt.com website, will be managing and selling tickets in partnership with the new commercial operators of the circuit who have taken on the resurrection of Olivers Mount’s stunning parkland course. Duke bring a wealth of marketing experience and expertise to assist the new promoters Eddie Roberts and Mick Grant who will run Olivers Mount Races. The racing itself will be organised by the newly formed TwoFourThree Road Racing Association.
Dates for the popular meetings were confirmed earlier this month, with the Barry Sheene Classic set to celebrate the return of racing to the Course on 27th and 28th July, followed by the always hotly contested Gold Cup in September. The Gold Cup, which has previously seen wins for Guy Martin, Dean Harrison, Mick Grant, Geoff Duke, Barry Sheene and David Jefferies, takes place from the 27th to the 29th of September.

Eddie Roberts, who was responsible for the revival of fortunes at Mallory Park Circuit in recent years, has been heavily involved from the early stages and explains: “Since the announcement we’ve been inundated with requests, and we’ve been working tirelessly to get the ball rolling. Duke Marketing have brought their expertise to the table and we’re now ready to go live.”
Peter Duke, CEO of Duke Marketing commented “70 years after my father Geoff first raced at Olivers Mount, I am very proud to be a key marketing partner in the re-launch of the circuit. It’s a proper ‘real roads’ circuit wrapped in enthusiasm from fans, marshals and riders. Eddie and Mick Grant have worked hard to get the new business off the ground and we are totally committed to supporting them with easy and efficient ticketing services, and travel packages, for the local and international fanbase.”
