About NG Road Racing

The name, NG Road Racing (formerly North Gloucestershire Motor Cycle Club), working in close association with the RAF Motor Sports Association (RAFMSA) has been synonymous with the sport of motor cycle road racing for some 36 years now, and was started by a group of enthusiasts back in I970.

They put on their first race meeting in 1971, at the former aerodrome of Gaydon, in Warwickshire. Since then the Clubs have gone from strength to strength and now runs a regular seven meeting series between March and September.
As the only Club in the South West involved in Road Racing the NG Road Racing flourished. In those early years the foundations were laid to develop us into what we are today, one of the Countries largest Clubs with over 400 competing members. The Clubs high standing in the sport is reflected by the huge annual £25,000 prize fund for the Champions and Award Winners.

We have been involved in staging some of the most prestigious race series in the sport, such as: "The King of Castle Combe ". . . "The Fowler's National Prince of Pembrey "... "The British Clubman's Championships ".... "The UK National Sound of Singles" . . . and most recently," The UK National Open Formula One Sidecar Challenge ", which is televised on SKY Sports.

Over the years, several notable names have come through the Club's ranks... Champions National...British...and even World. They all started here. Riders such as Neil Tuxworth.... Roger Burnett.... Steve Parrish.... Trevor Nation.... Steve Patrickson.... Steve Henshaw...and Mick Boddice, all came through the North Glos series. Probably the most respected name to make it to the top is Jock Taylor, who along with his Swedish passenger went on to lift the 1980 World Sidecar Championship. At the time he was backed by Dennis Trollope Racing, who still support NGMCC riders to this day.

NG Road Racing/RAFMSA has a reputation for helping bring young riders through, probably because the Clubs are still run by a hard core of enthusiasts. . . . who want to see the sport of motor cycle road racing flourish in the UK.
