Alexander Stadium

It was a red-hot day.

It was at Alexander Stadium, which we're doing for the World Champs next year, because it's the best stadium in the UK.

The stadium was unbelievable, wasn't

it?

Incredible.

But it's what we need to do in the UK is every race in 2026, including championship races, if you have a UK postcode, can get invited to the uk champs goes live end of september when it comes to the worlds it's from the 1st of june in the previous year to the 31st of may next year any race that falls within that window is a qualifier for the world champs so at the 31st of may any race that falls before then on the 1st of june we can then send out all the invites and you've got obviously june july and august to basically get ready to come to the Worlds, and then we can get everything ready to put on a massive show.

So next year, 4th and 5th of September, at Alexander Stadium will be amazing.

But yeah, I think it's very key.
