With a well-structured fast moving timetable, you can expect continuous excitement as up to seven different Championships race on the same day. Throughout the weekend, a total of 28 races will take place, ensuring an adrenaline-fueled experience.

 

Hold on tight as bikes zoom past at speeds of up to 170mph, with a full grid of competitors racing inches apart. The admission price offers exceptional value, granting access to captivating races from 10am to 5pm. Our KMSC and Scottish Championship bike racing meetings provide a thrilling spectacle suitable for families of all ages.

 

KMSC Superbikes and Clubman - Our Scottish/KMSC Superbike competitors will take to the track five times over the course of the weekend, aboard machinery boasting 1000cc and over. Our Clubman competitors will also join these races creating a race within a race.

 

• KMSC Formula 600 - The Scottish and KMSC Motorcycle Formula 600 Championship will see upwards of 30 racers take to the track aboard 600cc (and over) motorcycles. These race machines from the likes of Yamaha, Triumph, Kawasaki and Suzuki provide plenty of close-knit racing with the top finishers in class crossing the finishing line within seconds of each other.

 

• KMSC Lightweights sponsored by Stiggy Motorsport - The Lightweight class is actually made up of several different classes – each competing for their own Championships that include – Mini Twin and Formula 400.  Due to the differences and variety of bikes on show, there is always some really exciting racing, with passing moves galore throughout the field.

 

• KMSC Pre-Injection 600 - Like the Formula 600 machines, the Pre-Injection 600s also boast up to 600cc but are generally older spec machines. This class provides plenty of thrilling racing and offers a relatively cheap route into the world of bike racing. This class sees newcomers entering the fold each and every season and often sees its elite competitors progress onto the Clubman, Formula 600 or Superbike categories.

 

• KMSC Formula 300s sponsored by Motorrad Central- This is the class most connected with young racers. It’s for 300s, production based motorcycles and is often the starting point for youngsters entering the sport. You’ll see young men and woman, as young as 12 years old, compete against each other at incredibly close quarters. This class is all about learning the track, improving times and improving race craft – yet still, maintains a real competitive edge to the racing.

 

• KMSC CB500 sponsored by BWR Recycling - This class has went under a transformation in the past few years. Re-introduced a few years back, this class has gone from strength to strength. We now regularly see over-subscribed grids with competitors needing to pre-qualify just to make the grid. The parity of the bikes performance allows for great, close racing with championship battles regularly goiung down to the wire.

 

Marin Scottish Sidecars - These amazing racing machines with a rider and passenger continue their chase for Scottish and KMSC honours before their showcase event in October, the Jock Taylor Memorial Race Meeting.
