Motorcycle Road Races, Pembrey Circuit
Duration: 3 Days
Venue: Pembrey Circuit, Llanelli SA16 0HZ
9:00 am - 5:00 pm GMT

Being our 'local' circuit at just 90 miles down the M4 just by Llanelli, Pembrey is also one of our favourites.  Being an old airfield perimeter road, there isn't much of an elevation chagnge, and on paper the layout of the circuit looks simple.

However, its complexity lies in its simplicity. With relatively few bends and a short lap length, there is nowhere to make up for even the tiniest error in your line, braking point or exit accelleration.  You have to be precise everywhere.

With a flat out kink in the main straight just after a big dip in the tarmac, courage and confidence are tested too. Altogether, Pembrey is a great riders' circuit. There is also a great, clubby atmosphere about the place, giving everyone a feeling of stepping back into a time when all racing was fun.

Come along and soak up the atmosphere and great, close racing of the YPM field, you are sure to find the trip worth while.

Motorcycle Road Races
Duration: 3 Days
Venue: Snetterton 300, Norwich, Norfolk, NR16 2JU
8:00 am - 6:00 pm GMT

Erly May sees us at the fantastic Snetterton 300 circuit. This layout retains the long, fast straights of the original, but has a wide range of additional bends and features to make it one of the most demanding circuits that we visit. The new layouts are great for riders and spectators alike, with plenty of action from balls out straights to OhMyGod hairpins. Bloody wonderful place! Thanks to new stands and a massive earth bank in the midfield, Snetterton is now one of the best viewing circuits on our calendar too, so come along for a great view of the action. Run as part of a packed Bemsee meeting, there is always plenty to see in this and all the other classes from 125 super teens to 1000cc Superbikes. This should be the debut of our new race transport combined with mobile office so if you are thinking about your web site while there, pop in and get a detailed analysis. It's free and may just make a difference to the results you get. The coffee is pretty good too!

Event Series: DFDS Seaways Yamaha Past Masters

Motorcycle Road Races
Duration: 3 Days
Venue: Donington Park Circuit, Castle Donington, Derby, Leicestershire DE74 2RP
8:00 am - 6:00 pm GMT

The historic Donington Park circuit hosted the British Motorcycle GP for many years since being rescued by Tom Wheatcroft in the late 1970s. It has long been recognised as one of the finest bike racing circuits in the UK and offers great thrills for rider and spectator alike. I am so looking forward to the descent through Craner Curves to the Old Hairpin, just the thought of it is making every hair on my body stand on end.

Racing with the Yamaha Past Masters is an incredible privilege. To even be on such circuits is something that so many people don't ever get the chance to do. With this class, there is always fantastic, close racing, always very fast despite the relative age and simplicity of the bikes. Nobody is there to muck about, so join us at Donington Park for a real treat. If you love two strokes as I do, just the smell of the YPM round is enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Motorcycle Road Races
Duration: 3 Days
Venue: Cadwell Park
8:00 am - 6:00 pm GMT

Cadwell Park is one of my great favourites and I love to race there. The Circuit has a bit of everything and is immensely challenging with fast bends, slow bends, elevation changes and of course, the formidable Mountain.

The Yamaha Past Masters series always produces fast, exciting racing despite the relative age and simplicity of the bikes and close finishes are always the order of the day. If you love two strokes as I do, the smell is a huge bonus.

Join us at Cadwell and get swept away in the great racing, sounds, smells and camaraderie that is the YPM class.

We are lucky to get this additional race in our calendar as a guest class at the Sidecar Revival Meeting. Cadwell Park is one of my great favourites and I love to race there.

Venue: Snetterton 300, Norwich, Norfolk, NR16 2JU
8:00 am - 6:00 pm GMT

Snetterton is nearly as far as we travel from our base in South Wales, with only Cadwell Park being more distant. It is well worth the trip to race on the 300 circuit though. There will be great racing too, with the combination of fast straights and technical bends that Snetterton 300 embodies. This layout retains the long, fast straights of the original, but has a wide range of additional bends and features to make it one of the most demanding circuits that we visit.

The new layouts are great for riders and spectators alike, with plenty of action from balls out straights to "OhMyGod!" hairpins. Bloody wonderful place! Thanks to new stands and a massive earth bank in the midfield, Snetterton is now one of the best viewing circuits on our calendar too, so come along for a great view of the action. Run as part of a packed Bemsee meeting, there is always plenty to see in this and all the other classes from teens on Ninja 300s to 1000cc Superbikes.

Motorcycle Road Races
Duration: 3 Days
Venue: Brands Hatch Indy Circuit, Fawkeham, Longfield, Kent, DA3 8NG
8:00 am - 6:00 pm GMT

The spiritual home of Bemsee sees us on the Indy circuit for the closing round of 2023. This is my favourite circuit. Brands Indy is all action, the bike is never truly upright and there is no rest on a lap. Bloody marvellous! Short but beautifully formed with some of the world's greatest bends.

There is very little to compare with the thrill of pitching into Paddock Hill bend, feeling like you are diving off the end of the world, bottoming out in the dip and heading up towards balls out braking for Druids Hairpin. The view for spectators is brilliant with more or less the whole circuit being visible from a number of vantage points. Racing here in the Yamaha Past Masters series is always fast and competitive despite the age and relative simplicity of the bikes.

Close results are always the order of the day and the glorious smell of two strokes fills the nostrils of all the people there. I feel privileged to be a part of this class and to race at such a circuit where you follow the wheeltracks of heroes. It just doesn't get much better than this. Come along and get the buzz! Run as part of a packed Bemsee meeting, there is always plenty to see in this and all the other classes from teens on Kawasaki Ninjas to 1000cc Superbikes.
