An Introduction to what we do
What we do is have a lot of Fun, Racing
Classic Bikes and Sidecars at some of the best circuits in the UK.
Don't imagine for one minute that
Classic Motorcycle Racing is Boring - you just have to check out some of our
Lap Times to see that the Racing is just as 'Fast and Furious' as almost any
of the Modern Bike Race Meetings.
Below is a short film which gives a little insight into what goes on at our meetings. Filmed in 2009 at the Cadwell Park "Race of the Year" Meeting by Jono Yardley. Watch out for the battle between the legendry Guy Martin and our very own Lea Gourlay.
30 Years of Racing and still going Strong

inspection is scheduled for next week with the CRMC present.

______________________________________
Robert Fearnall the circuit manager called me on
Thursday 8th July to inform me that all is going to plan for
our meeting in August.
The tarmac contractors had to leave site on the
Monday to repair track problems at Silverstone for the F1 but were to be
back on site by the end of the week.
The CRMC will be admitted to the circuit on Thursday
12th August at lunchtime to prepare for the meeting starting
at 09.00 on Friday.
Final instructions will be going out at the end of
July. If you have booked a garage you will receive a Paddock A pass,
paddock B passes will be issued for the main paddock. Please do not use
the grass area on the left just inside the barrier as that is reserved
for marshal’s camping. Another area will be reserved outside the media
centre for a bike display including Honda 6. Trophy presentation for
Friday and Saturday events will be in the media centre on Saturday
evening followed by a band. Please bring your own liquid refreshments.
Please note that some are under the impression that
the entry fee has increased which it has but it is for FOUR
races as requested by many riders. For the last 2 years we could only
run 3 races due to time constraints but this year we have 3 full days to
ourselves.
The Norton Rotary factory bikes will be there along
with Chris Walker who is also their sales manager.
Entries are coming in fast so make sure you do not
miss out.
THE CRMC WILL BE ESTABLISHING ALL RACE AND
LAP RECORDS!
Some people still do
not seem to believe that Donington will happen. We have no
reason to believe that the meeting will not go ahead. However,
should there be some unforeseen problem (as could happen
anywhere) and the meeting does not run all riders will receive a
FULL refund.
Roger Bryant.
Chairman CRMC Ltd.
