The annual Thundersprint event started today giving people a chance to celebrating motorcycling.
The event, which is based at Darley Moor, attracts visitors from all over the country.
Watch a video of the event here:
There has never been such a wide range of GP stars, young and old, gathered at one single event.
Heading the list at the Ashbourne track is Scott Redding, who has been setting the MotoGP world on fire.
He said: "I have ridden at the Thundersprint twice before and I honestly loved every minute of it. GP racing is a serious business – very serious indeed.
"My mind is entirely focused on winning and I really do miss the chance to mix with fans.
"The Thundersprint is a giant two-day party for anyone who loves bikes and, best of all, I've got the time to talk to fans, have photographs taken and be with them socially. In fact, all the things I love but can't do at a GP."
Sharing the track with Redding will be World Supersport champion Sam Lowes, now competing in Moto2, ex-world 250cc and 350cc champion Jim Redman and Isle of Man TT ace John McGuinness.
The event includes motorcycling track sessions with sprint races, cavalcades, and a funfair and trade stands.
Migeul Merchan, 28, from Smuse Lane in Lumsdale, Matlock, has come to the event as an impulse visit with his friend Michael Hrynczyszyn, 45, from Ilkeston.
Miguel said: "I am really into bikes and anything with an engine really"
