The Trofeo Abarth 500 GB will take part in an historic weekend of motorsport from 22-23 May as the series joins the British Superbikes at Cadwell Park. The event is one of the only times that fans will get to watch both two-wheel and four-wheel action at the same event.

The event is significant for Abarth. In 1928 a young Carlo Abarth raced in the Austrian Motorcycle Grand Prix – qualifying on pole! He was a winner at Salzburg in the same year and proved himself to be a successful motorcycle racer and tuner before turning to four wheels.
