If you missed Red Bull Mini Drome, the world’s smallest velodrome when it landed in London’s East End earlier this year, an event which the now injured Chris Akrigg won, you’ll get another chance when it heads to Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow on 25 June.

The purpose built track has been engineered in Germany by Velotrack, the team who built the velodromes for the Atlanta Olympics and the Delhi Commonwealth Games. The Red Bull Mini Drome track will maintain race worthy dimensions in the smallest possible size to enable a single pursuit. Red Bull Mini Drome will challenge both body and mind as riders will need to navigate themselves around a unique and technically challenging course reaching speeds of up to 80 km/ph.

Andy Ellis from Fixed Magazine was the first to test the track in Germany at the build last year. He said “I think you should expect an atmosphere not unlike the legendary six day races held at Madison Square Garden roughly 100 years ago. Red Bull have gone and executed this precisely how it should be done. It could be the beginning of something much more for the scene.”

The event will be open to all fixed gear riders of all ages. Barrowland Ballroom has a capacity for 600 people and is free to all public on a first come, first served basis. There is no entry fee, however, a donation to Glasgow Bike Shed or Wings for Life would be welcome.

Qualifying is open to over a 100 competitors in a single timed race. Riders will be timed using The Velotrack Timing System. The racers with the quickest time across the 10 laps will progress through the competition to the finals which will be a single pursuit race format.
