Bradford Motor Racing – News, Events and Practical Tips

If you live near Bradford or love UK racing, you’ve probably wondered what’s happening on the local tracks. This page pulls together the most useful info for anyone who wants to watch, race or work in the Bradford motorsport scene. We keep it simple – dates, venues and a few tips to make your next track day smooth.

Bradford sits in the heart of Yorkshire, so it’s a natural stop for club races, bike nights and occasional car track days. The city’s close to several popular circuits such as Croft, Knockhill and the new Bradford Motor Speedway that opened last year. Each venue has its own vibe, but they all share the same need for clear entry times, safety gear and a spot to park your bike or car.

Key Events to Mark on Your Calendar

Every year Bradford hosts a handful of recurring events that draw fans from across the north. Here are the ones you won’t want to miss:

• Bradford Bike Night – usually the first Saturday of May, this night gathers road riders, track riders and a few hobby racers for a relaxed vibe. Expect a short warm‑up session followed by a group ride around the local circuit.
• Yorkshire Classic Car Show – held in August at the Bradford Exhibition Centre, the show often includes a demo run on the adjoining track. It’s a great chance to see classic cars in action and chat with owners.
• Bradford Speedway Cup – a weekend in September where local speedway teams compete for the cup. The event pulls in families, so there are food stalls and a kids’ area.
• Winter Track Day – December brings a rain‑friendly indoor track in Bradford. It’s perfect for testing new tires or tweaking bike setups without the cold wind.

All these events publish detailed schedules on their own websites, but we’ll update this page as soon as dates are confirmed. Sign up for our newsletter to get a reminder before tickets go on sale.

Practical Tips for First‑Time Visitors

Showing up at a Bradford track can be a bit daunting if you’ve never been before. Here are three quick things to sort out before you head out:

1. Check the entry rules. Some events require a helmet certification, especially for bike sessions. Bring your licence and any proof of insurance – the gate staff will ask.
2. Plan your parking. Popular weekends fill up fast, so aim to arrive at least 30 minutes early. There’s a free overflow lot a few minutes walk from the main gate; a short shuttle runs every 10 minutes.
3. Pack the basics. A water bottle, a light jacket and a pair of earplugs make the day far more comfortable. If you’re racing, have a spare set of gloves and a tire pressure gauge on hand.

Following these tips will save you time and help you enjoy the action without stress.
