The UK Truck and Tractor Pull

Tractor pulling, the world’s most powerful and exciting motor sport, returns to the North West this May at Scorton Showground’s purpose-built track with a bigger programme than ever before. An exciting Lancashire weekend of high-octane action is on offer and, as well as a full BTPA (British Tractor Pulling Association) Championship round, there is a fabulous Truck Show, fairground, beer tent and live entertainment on the Saturday night.

Night Action

As the first round of the British Championship, the Scorton event sets a gold standard and provides the crucial benchmark for the coming 2025 Tractor Pulling Season. Competing against our very own ‘Aftermath Unleashed’ in the popular Light Modified section of the Championship from Scotland, is the ‘Gator 3 Lynx Edition’ – the world’s only quad turbine light modified tractor together with European guests ‘Green Spirit’, ‘Herbie’ and ‘Hot Art’ from the Netherlands and Belgium’s ‘Mad Max’.

In the Limited Superstock class, Switzerland’s ‘Sonic’ returns to Scorton and ‘Midnight Mistress’ will be a tough act to follow in the hotly-contested Limited Prostock class.

There is a fabulous display of around 120 Custom Trucks, and all the action from the event is live on a big screen. An exclusive VP marquee is available for guests to enjoy a complimentary drink and meal, bar and VIP car parking.
