The Race
The HTC Smithfield Nocturne presents a race with a difference this year – see pros Chris Newton and Ed Clancy and celebrities Jody Scheckter and Ben Saunders race a lap of the challenging Smithfield circuit - but with the twist of selling ice creams during the race on Mercedes modified bikes featuring a special ice cream container on the front.
This entertaining new race has been created in collaboration with former F1 World Champion Jody Scheckter to celebrate the launch of Laverstoke Park’s new buffalo milk ice cream.
The ‘Laverstoke Park Ice Cream’ race will pit the wits of established cycling pros with talented celebrities on futuristic ice cream bikes which have been given an extra twist by the Mercedes F1 team.
“The Laverstoke ice creams arrive in supermarkets and food halls this month and I wanted to mark the launch with something that combines my love for- excellent food, a neat bit of kit and speed...So having some pros and celebrities race around
Smithfield with the added twist of selling it to spectators, on especially modified
Mercedes bikes by their F1 team seemed a great idea. I am looking forward to a race that tests speed, endurance and some innovative selling skills!”
Before and after the race the ice cream bikes will be positioned around the course with ice cream on sale.
