Yamaha Showcases Legendary British Racers And Bikes At Donington Park

The Yamaha Racing Heritage Club (YRHC), which was founded to honor and preserve the manufacturer's illustrious racing history, accomplished this at Donington Park on July 30 to July 31, 2022. At the Yamaha Racing Heritage Club events at Donington Park, a star-studded lineup of renowned British racers participated, including multiple Grand Prix Champion Phil Read, Chas Mortimer, Alan Carter, and Niall and Tarran Mackenzie, among others.

The YRHC stand was one of the main draws at Donington Park, with some of the biggest names in British racing making an appearance over the course of the weekend. The impressive array of motorcycles on display covered all 65 years of Yamaha's history, from their very first factory race bike, the 1957 250cc YD-A, to the first Yamaha to compete in the UK, the Sonny Angel YDS-1R from 1960, all the way up to Tarran "Taz" Mackenzie's McAMS Yamaha R1, which won the 2021 British Superbike Championship.
