- Here is an epic 90 minute plus look at what happened on the Sunday at the annual Classic Racing Motorcycle Club meeting at the legendary Cadwell Park racing circuit in Lincolnshire (June 2023).
The classic club has extensively evolved since I first visited with my father back in the very early 1980's, and now incorporates machines which would never have been allowed back then, and some (like the Supermonos) which hadn't even been produced.
There are still a good number of machines racing from the 1960's at this event, but the majority of stuff is slightly newer vintage.
One thing which hasn't changed at all is the sidecar class, which is still very much "classic", with the BSA and BMW outfits sounding glorious!
There is a lovely range of TZ350's out there to generate the lovely blue haze in the warming up area, and the crisp 2-stroke sound, but sadly a complete absence of the Rotax engined 250cc machines which were very competitive back in the early 1980's.
Also there are is disappointing lack of RG500 and TZ500/750 machines out there.
Another sad modern-day feature is the lack of noise from the classic machines, with heave silencing evident, but all thing considered, the CRMC are keeping classic motorcycle racing alive . . .
This video features all classes - one race from each class filmed, the other spent in the paddock as I try to capture the atmosphere of the event.
There will be many editing errors as I have not been through it thoroughly to eradicate them, but this should keep the enthusiasts of the classic motorcycle racing genre happy! - Авто та транспорт
Paddocks in England are something else. Is amazing the quantity of beauties well used and/or abused. I have to go one day!
Nice footage,love the TZ's nothing like a sweet sounding two stroke
Couldn't agree more!
Ol' Johnny Cronshaw is still fuckin' quick!
I think it is his son who races the machine now.
@@2wheels2strokes4ever Oh, I recognized the famous helmet/leathers and a "little thickness" now, (we are not young anymore lol!) and assumed it was John. Who won that race? The fellow on that Seeley g50 was bit aggressive and shoved his way past. It was unclear if Cronshaw was the winner or runner-up! Great vid though. I wish our race meetings were just as full.
Was an active member from 1980 for ten years. Had a great time. This video takes me back. Must say lot of the bikes look modern. Things move on.
When all the classic bikes look modern it tells you that you yourself are getting old!!! Sobering.
Great vid! Interesting reading the comments, last years Cadwell meet had 2 TZ750s. A proper RG500 did the ACU race at Donington, however its a lil too expensive so to be seen if it'll be out next year. Also CRMC are now allowing Pre 95 bikes suh as 400s and 750s. Sidecars also potentially. Those bikes are now 30 years old or more so think its ok.
A few years go there were loads of interesting 500 2 strokes at the Donington meeting from abroad, but recently the foreigners seem to be staying away????
@@2wheels2strokes4ever Seems to be the case sadly, you still get a few handfuls, in my opinion the real gem was the Classic Endurance Legends grid at Brands GP, same weekend as CRMC Donington this year, seeing modern and classic bikes, headlights on round the GP was an amazing sight for 3 hours
Doesn't anyone know how to push, bump start anymore 😊
This aspect of racing has sadly gone with the advent of the rollers - I miss this aspect of racing, particularly when making videos.
