Whoa, some big news dropped today regarding the Stark VARG electric bike. The bike will make its race debut at the Arenacross Festival (AX Fest), taking place at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire from September 15 – 17.
Multi-time MXGP winner Arnaud Tonus will race the bike in addition to German racer and former Arenacross Rookies Champion, Carl Osterman, and young British talent and former youth champion, Eddie Jay Wade.
Matt Bates, Event Promoter and Bolesworth Events Managing Director said: “For Stark to choose the AX Fest as their worldwide racing debut is a huge honour, not only for our event, but also for all UK off road racing fans. Stark lining-up against the already established fuel-powered race teams will be something really special to see… and as a motocross race fan, I can’t wait for!”
Sebastien Tortelli, Racing Director of Stark Future said: “As Stark Future Racing Director, and being involved since the beginning of the VARG, bringing it to the front of the global stage has been nothing short of amazing. Our pursuit of excellence, our dedication to innovation – it’s all finally coming together in a monumental moment as we embark on our racing program. This isn’t just another step; it’s a milestone that’s been eagerly anticipated within our company.
“The team and especially Arnaud, Carl and Eddie have been working extremely hard heading up to this event. For us, stepping onto the racing arena isn’t just about competition; it’s a declaration in the belief of our extraordinary product. To stand at the starting gate, to race against combustion, is an achievement in itself.
“With a trio of exceptional riders, our presence behind the starting gate signifies the fusion of skill, technology and vision.”
Arnaud Tonus said: “I’m super excited to be part of Stark Future! Stepping into my first Arenacross on the VARG is really exciting. It’s a chance to ride and showcase the impressive capabilities of the VARG. I’m thrilled to contribute to the changing industry, both in terms of electric performance and the positive impact it has on our sport, environment, and communities.”
