The established cycle racing circuit at Stourport Sports Club now has permanent floodlights installed, which completes this project by British Cycling, Stourport Sports Club and Wyre Forest Cycle Racing Club, supported by Biffa, Wyre Forest District Council and Sports England. To launch the new lighting an evening of men’s and women’s racing is planned for Saturday 20th September 2014. The races will include a 3/4 cat women’s race at 19:00, a 4th cat men’s at 20:15 and 3/4 cat men’s race at 21:15. The bar/café adjacent to the circuit in the sports club will be open for friends and family who may want to come along. There will be an official ‘switch-on’ opening ceremony at 20:00. This will definitely be a opportunity to try something slightly different, such as racing under floodlights, as well as the chance to grab a few late season points! Entries are online through the British Cycling race calendar here British Cycling Calendar

It is with great frustration that we have been forced to cancel the Stourport Nocturne Floodlit Racing event at Stourport circuit on Saturday 20th September.
This is completely out of the control of Wyre Forest CRC and Stourport Sports Club. The cancelation relates to the lighting levels, insurance and British Cycling permits for floodlit race events on the newly illuminated circuit.
It should be noted that we had planned and organised the event with the full support and involvement of British Cycling from the very beginning.
We will put more races on in the near future, but not under the floodlights.
