Raceways Yamaha will become Yamaha Motor UK's Supported Team in the British Superbike paddock next season.
For the 2026 British Superbike and Quattro Group British Supersport Championship, Raceways Yamaha will become Yamaha Motor UK's Supported Team.
The role sees the team return to the status as Yamaha Motor UK’s Supported Team, having previously served as Yamaha’s official British Superbike outfit from 2017 to 2023 under the McAMS Yamaha banner.
As well as running Bradley Ray on the Yamaha R1 in the British Superbike Championship in 2026, the team will expand to the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship next season with the Yamaha R9.
Steve Rodgers, Team Owner, Raceways Yamaha commented: “We are pleased to become the Yamaha Motor UK Supported Team in BSB once again, a role we filled for seven years and enjoyed a lot of success previously. The R1 has been the bike to be on in BSB for coming up to five years now, as is evidenced by the fact it’s won three British Superbike titles, soon to become four, since 2021.
“We are confident we can continue to make steps forward with the package with the development work being carried out in Italy. We are hugely excited to be racing the new R9 next year; Supersport has a special place in my heart as it’s a class we had a lot of success in for a lot of years with the R6, so we cannot wait to start this new chapter with Yamaha Motor UK.”
Matt Taylerson, Divisional Manager, Marketing, Yamaha Motor UK, said: “Raceways are a long-standing partner of Yamaha Motor UK and were our Supported Team in the British Superbike Championship from 2017 to 2023.
“After their return this year, it made perfect sense for us to team up with Steve and the team again for 2026, not just in the Superbike class but also in British Supersport, as we introduce the R9 for the first time in 2026. Their racing pedigree speaks for itself, so we are looking forward to rekindling the relationship which saw so much success in the past.”
