2025 Midterm Report. 2026 MotoGP and SBK Calendars, New NW200 and Isle of Man Tours, way more!

Wow.
'Crazy June' is over and we are about to sail into the second half of the 2025 Moto racing season! Crazy June actually starts in May, with simultaneous events of MotoGP Le Mans and the Northwest 200 road race; and carries on for 12 weeks and 14 events, all of which we were present!

Just to set the pace, the super cool Johan Zarco of our partner team LCR Honda scored a sensational French victory! We had our first taste of the insane head to head road racing at the Northwest!

The run included a stay in a 15th century castle at the Czech SBK; the earlier-than-usual Silverstone (thankfully now reverted to its usual August slot); ANOTHER castle of the Knights of Calatrava in Aragon; a sensational Isle of Man TT; the awesome "Italian Dream Week" of the Misano SBK followed by Mugello MotoGP (with Ducati factory, San Marino, Tavullia and a moving pilgrimage to the Marco Simoncelli memorial); Assen mayhem, German thrills at Sachsenring, a picture-perfect British Superbike weekend at Donington, and the long awaited, 5* return of our flagship event at Brno! We crossed the finish line at the brand new Balaton Park for a perfect inaugural Hungarian event AND the 1000th Superbike race! Whew!!

Somewhere in our copious spare time, we have launched new packages for the otherwise sold-out Isle of Man TT; launched a new tour to the Northwest 200 in Northern Ireland, and - I almost forgot - put together draft tours to almost ALL MotoGP and SBK events for 2026! Double-phew!!

We will be adding a lot more detail to the 2026 events, including a new tour to Brazil MotoGP, but if you let us know of your interest we will be sure to hold a place for you.

In the meantime, let's not forget we have the 2nd half of the thrilling 2025 season yet to come!

We'll talk more about the fly-aways soon but the European events are filling up fast.

San Marino is always one of top events, and we have added HELICOPTER transfers to our Deluxe package! We have also reintroduced our super value Classic package in a newly refurbished hotel in the heart of Riccione - also great for singles. Catalunya is nearly sold out, as is Portimao -- indeed we are seeking further accommodation there (and book the awesome VIP Tower in the Lagos suite!). The Valencia circuit has almost totally sold out of tickets and hospitality at the season closer -- we have tickets, team experiences, and the superb VIP Terrace with our tour packages. Coming to BOTH Portimao and Valencia? Let us know as we are looking at consolidating a tour between them!

Shifting to World Superbikes - we are having our best ever SBK season! The closing duo of Portugal and Jerez have already sold out and we have added more places (if the web is showing sold out, please get in touch). Our partner team Bimota has performed astonishingly considering it is their rookie year! And the new Garage hospitality is such incredible value that it is selling out at every event!

We hope to see you at an event soon! And of course start your planning for 2026!

Are you a permanent pass holder? We are putting together a tour to the Valencia TEST on Tuesday to see the new bikes and teams for the very first time! Please get in touch.

A shout out of encouragement to our sponsored riders! Rookie Kristian Daniel (USA) has finished consistently in the top 10 over the past few rounds (including a podium!). Fellow rookie Carter Thompson (AUS), after his win in Jerez, went on to WIN the SSP300 race in Misano! In Moto3 Cormac Buchanan (NZ) was injured in practice in Brno but has been putting in consistent points. Teammate Ruche Moodley (SA) despite being injured twice this season has been scoring consistently when fit. Eddie O'Shea and his team MLav Racing have been struggling to put up points; but we hope major upgrades over the break will start making a difference! You can come to a MotoGP event as a direct supporter of one of these lads!
