“This year’s rally is set to be bigger and better than ever, and the team at Indian Motorcycle Reading have pulled out all the stops to help us organise a sensational weekend. The iconic Brooklands Race Track is a fitting venue to celebrate our heritage and performance as the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit.
