The ACU British Motocross Championship heads to Foxhill for the next round of the series this weekend.
The former Grand Prix circuit near Swindon will host round five of the series on Sunday, July 14.
The MX1 class is heating up, and all eyes will be on Jeffrey Herlings and Conrad Mewse.
The pair come into the event after the Crendon Tru7 Honda star defeated the Red Bull KTM MXGP man last time out at Blaxhall.
Mewse said: "It’s so special to get the win by coming from behind and overtaking Herlings.
"I knew I had the pace from the start and felt comfortable leading. He’s winning GPs so to be battling with him is great."
Herlings added: "Foxhill is just around the corner now. Just a lovely track, you know, and just very excited to see the British fans again.
"It's going to be my second year in a row racing there. Last year the track was mint. Hopefully we have the same good weather as we did last year.
"I hope to have a good day of racing and enjoy my time with the British fans."
Among others gunning for glory will be Gabriel SS24 KTM's Josh Gilbert, despite dislocating his shoulder at the MXGP in Maggiora.
Others ready to demonstrate their racing prowess include Tristan Purdon of the SC Sporthomes Husqvarna team, fresh from claiming third place at Blaxhall, and Brad Todd, who is in good form after a fourth-place finish at the last event.
The likes of Apico Honda pair Martin Barr and Tom Grimshaw, as well as Carlton Husband, Jason Meara, Dan Thornhill and Shaun Southgate will also be eager to stamp their mark at the iconic venue in the premier class.
Meanhwile in the MX2 division, Jack Chambers and Cas Valk are ready for another competitive round.
Chambers currently holds the red plate, while Valk is eager to dislodge him and claim victory.
Valk has had some time off between races while Chambers has been competing on the world stage in Indonesia.
Dirt Store Kawasaki heavyweights Tommy Searle and Joel Rizzi will also be keen to build on their performances at Blaxhall, where they claimed third and sixth place respectively.
The entertainment will extend to the newly-founded 85cc and 125cc support classes.
