The event is the biggest outdoor motocross event in the country
The Weston Beach Race is back again this weekend.
Between 70,000 and 100,000 people are expected to descend on Weston-super-Mare for three days of different races and demos.
With that many people heading to the town it’s worth planning ahead.
Here is all you need to know.
When is it?
The annual Weston Beach Race officially opens on the afternoon of Friday, 3 October.
The main races then run all day on both Saturday and Sunday.
Where is it?

It is dubbed the “maddest and baddest” thing in the calendar
The event takes place on Weston’s famous beachfront, where a temporary six-mile racing circuit has been built on the sand.
The track is located south of The Grand Pier, near the Tropicana.
When is everything happening?

It starts on Friday but the main races are on Saturday and Sunday
Proceedings get underway on Friday with a free to watch demo by some of the four wheeled SXS (side by side) competitors at 13:30 BST.
The real competition gets underway on Saturday, starting with the 125/250cc races at 10:30.
The vintage class then gets going at 11am, with the Quads and Sidecar races beginning at 13:00.
Winners will take to the podium at 16:30 to collect their medals.
The racing continues on Sunday with the 85cc races at 09:00, followed closely by the 65cc races at 10:45am.
The weekend comes to a conclusion with its traditional headliner races, the Adult Solos, at 12:30.
Where can I park?
There are a number of options available to people driving to the event.
A limited number of spectator parking spaces are available on the beach on Friday and Saturday only at a charge of £14 per vehicle per day.
Riders can also park on the beach on the days that they are competing.
Weston Cricket Club has also opened up a number of parking spaces at their site specifically for the event.
There are also multiple council owned and private car parks located throughout the town but with differing charges and distances from the event.

The adult solos races will bring the event to a close on Sunday
What about the traffic?
It goes without saying that up to 100,000 people coming to Weston is going to cause some traffic problems.
If you aren’t going to the Beach Races it might be an idea to avoid the seafront for the weekend.
There will be regular travel updates over the weekend on BBC Radio Bristol.
