The first meeting of the season has come and gone in a weekend of fantastically close racing. In each of the four races, the leading bunch of four or five was covered by just under or just over one second. Battles raged all the way through the full grid of 32 and lap speeds were impressive from all concerned. Read or download the full qualifying and race results in .pdf format. Download here.
Keeping Two Strokes at the Forefront for the Whole of this Century
Since 2000 the Yamaha Past Masters Racing Club has been providing great racing for members and spectators alike.In those 25 years, some fantastic people have been involved, many of them still are. YPMers are more like family, people come and stay, enjoying the spirit of friendly competition… and of course the way that only a two-stroke can deliver a particular riding experience.
The best way to find out more is to take our club bike out for the weekend. You will ride a fully competitive TZR 250 and all you have to provide is an ACU licence, protective gear and yourself. Come and sample the best cameraderie in the Bemsee paddock, we reckon you will be hooked.
Join the Club and Show the World
Competing on a budget, Racing on the limit.
Yamaha Past Masters (YPM) is a motorcycle racing championship, run in the UK under the control of the British Motorcycle Racing Club (BMCRC/Bemsee)The series is designed to showcase Yamaha's legendary two-stroke parallel twins of the 1980s. It embraces the RD250LC and RD350LC, RD350YPVS, TZR250 and TDR250, all lining up on the same grid.
YPMRC (Yamaha Past Master Racing Club) was formed for the riders as a club by the riders who bought into the ethos and spirit of the class - Out of this came the class statement of 'Competing on a budget - Racing on the limit'
Being part of the British Motorcycle Racing Club (Bemsee), Britain's oldest racing club, enables the class to race at the top-level circuits around the UK. As a club championship, it's open to anyone with a racing licence, or anyone who is willing to obtain one from the ACU Road Racing Department.
Racing in YPM is one of the most cost-effective ways of getting into the exciting world of motorcycle road racing, because the bikes are relatively cheap to buy and run, with the odd one still lurking probably in a shed near you…. The YPM club's infamous camaraderie, makes for a great paddock atmosphere where no one wants for help or parts in the event of an emergency.
Novices get a great help in their introduction to racing with the expert guidance from Bemsee's rookie school, club instructors and the YPM Family spirit will ensure all riders family and friends feel part of something special
Whether its one race , 1 meeting, 1 year or more… you wont have any more fun in leather!
