Well what an absolutely fantastic weekend that was!!
An incredible turn-out on the promenade and superb effort by the
Race The Waves Team to provide a thoroughly spectacular event.
The Official Merchandise Store was SO busy pretty much non-stop all through Saturday and Sunday with hundreds of customers securing their own pieces of
OFFICIAL Race The Waves memorabilia.
We are already working on new additions for this Autumn/Winter so keep an eye on the store (click HERE) for the exciting new items, all available for ordering in time for Christmas...
Race the Waves is one of East Yorkshire's biggest events...

Hear the roar of the engines as vintage vehicles and motorbikes race along Bridlington South Beach!
​
Race The Waves 2027 is set to light up Bridlington from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd May 2027...
​
This is a unique event within the UK motoring calendar. It is a tribute to the past when Yorkshire beaches were the earliest places for land speed record attempts. Vehicles perform ‘spirited drag-races’ in pairs over a 200 yard course marked in the fresh tidal sand.
Motorcycles are often in groups of 4 or 5 as they leave the start line.
​Generally, the races are started by a lady waving a chequered flag. All the while, a commentary is provided by the 'man on the microphone' Graham Beckwith.
Race The Waves draws on the historical influences from the early UK Motor Speed Trials and the American desert and street drag races.
Unvarnished Horsepower​
Feel the grit of the wet sand dragway beneath pre-war steel. The air thick with the scent of salt spray and burning oil, as flag starters drop and engines scream. This is raw, mechanical history brought to life.
See the machines up close as they parade along the Bridlington coastline, a moving museum of motoring heritage...
Tides wait for no engine. The South Beach strip belongs to the bold.
​
Vintage steel meets wet sand. Experience the roar of flathead V8s and vintage motorcycles against the tide...
