Black Horse, the UK’s leading provider of motor finance and part of Lloyds Banking Group, is once again sponsoring the main stage at the UK’s largest annual motorcycle show, Motorcycle Live.
The show takes place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham over nine days, from 19th to 27th November 2022. It will feature over 175 exhibitors, including 50 manufacturers.
The Black Horse stage will host a full programme of entertainment across the event, including rider and celebrity interviews, games and challenges.
Black Horse’s infamous ‘Race An Ace’ event will take place on the stage at 11:30 each day, hosted by ex-professional motorbike racer, Steve Parrish. Participants will have the opportunity to take on racing hero Peter Hickman on the tracks of the popular Isle of Man TT videogame. The overall winner each day will be awarded vouchers to spend at various motorcycle manufacturers. There will also be prizes for runners up, including signed books by Steve Parish, tickets to Motorcycle Live 2023 and Black Horse merchandise.
Tracey Gramsch, Senior Manager Manufacturer Partners at Black Horse, said: “It’s fantastic to be sponsoring the Black Horse stage again. We can’t wait to take to the stage and see people challenge their favourite racing heroes in our ever popular Race An Ace event.
“Black Horse has long been by the side of motorcyclists throughout their motorcycle journey, from supporting them with getting their very first bike through to purchasing their dream model in later life. This commitment is reflected every year of our sponsorship. Motorcycle Live is, without a doubt, the biggest event of the year in the UK for motorcycle enthusiasts, and it’s a pleasure to be able to be there in person to support all of our manufacturing partners, dealers and customers.”
