Party in the park | Road racing returns to Aberdare in Wales this August

The annual Aberdare Park Road Races will take place in South Wales on August 3 and 4, promising two days of non-stop action around the 0.9-mile wooded track.

Bikes as small as 50cc two-strokes will compete alongside race-prepped 125s, alongside other classes including screaming 600cc supersports. Additionally, Supermotos will be in attendance, as well as classic superbikes up to 750cc, and even race modified Honda CB500s and Suzuki Bandit 600s.

Parades will also take place, with other attractions also including trade stalls, and a number of hot and cold food stalls.

Tickets are available online now, with adult weekend access priced at £30 each. This can be upgraded to a full camping ticket for £55, with single day and family tickets also available.

Unlike previous years, this August’s event will be televised in two one-hour highlight shows on ITV4 and ITVX online. The programs will be produced by Greenlight TV, who also work on other road racing events including the Isle of Man TT and Northwest 200.

“We’re absolutely delighted to be forming a working partnership with Greenlight TV to get Aberdare Park onto national TV and beyond,” Aberdare Park Race Director, Derek Smith said.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity for the Park to get back onto the world stage which I firmly believe that we can.“

“Rob Hurdman and his team and Greenlight TV have been fantastic to work with and we’re all really excited about the future. This year’s event is going to be unmissable!”

Media Manager at Aberdare, Matthew Davies added: “To see Aberdare Park on ITV4 as part of the King of the Roads series is truly a momentous moment for the event. For me personally, it’s going to be really special to witness the incredible racing on national television.”
