British Army Motorcycle Road Race Team (AMRRT)

The British Army Motorcycle Road Race Team (AMRRT) was formed in 2010 and is one of the largest teams in BAMA. The team encompasses 2 Road Racing disciplines - Sprints and Endurance, with 26 full-time and reserve riders, plus support crew for 2025.

Inter-Services Championship

An exclusive championship for all Army, RAF and Navy personnel. Riders battle it out to score points for their service in a sprint race held with No Limits Racing and sponsored by GBRacing. After 8 gruelling battles across some of the best circuits in the UK such as Brands Hatch and Donington Park, 1 team will be crowned champions of that season along with an individual Tri-Service Champion.

The 2024 Inter Services Road Race Championships was contested over seven rounds in the No Limits Racing Series starting at the Snetterton race circuit in late March and ending at the famous Donington Park race circuit in early October.

The Army team finished the championship on top with a total of 1,255 points, with the Royal Air Force finishing in second with a total of 1,000 points. The Royal Navy finished in third with 505 points, with a 750-point gap to first place.

In the individual standings, Warrant Officer Class 2 Gavin Watts of the Royal Anglian Regiment dominated the championship after winning all seven races on his Yamaha R1. He finished top of the championship standings with 220 points, with RAF rider Flight Lieutenant James Field finishing second with 198 points and the Army's Sergeant Aaron Evangelista finishing third with 183 points.

Seven Army riders finished in the top 10 of the individual championships, a demonstration of their speed and consistency throughout the racing season. The Army's Corporal Kieron Wood (REME) finished in eighth position on his Triumph 675 as the highest-placed rookie of the year.

Sprint Racing

Sprint racing is the traditional race most people think of. Motorcycle sprint racing is a form of motorsport that involves short, high-speed races on motorcycles. Different from endurance racing, where the focus is on long-distance competition, sprint racing emphasizes speed, acceleration, and agility over a shorter number of laps. Sprint racing requires exceptional skill, including precise handling, quick reflexes, and strategic thinking. Riders must master acceleration, braking and cornering techniques to achieve the best lap times.

The 2025 the Team will compete in several different Sprint classes in the No Limits Racing Championship.

Endurance

Starting with the spectacular Le Mans style start, Motorcycle endurance racing is a challenging and demanding form of motorsport that tests the durability of both the machines and the riders over extended periods. These races can last from 3 to 8 hours, pushing the limits of speed, strategy, and stamina. Riders must maintain focus and physical endurance over long stints. Managing fatigue, concentration, and physical conditions such as hydration and heat stress are crucial to success.

Motorcycle endurance racing is a multifaceted sport that blends speed, strategy, teamwork, and physical endurance, making it a unique and thrilling discipline within motorsport.

In 2025 the Army Team will enter 4 Endurance Teams (12 Riders) into the Club 600 Endurance Championship with No Limits Racing.

British Superbike Championship

In 2025 the Team will be competing in 3 Support classes in the British Superbike Championship, WO2 Watts will be stepping up to the highly contested National Superstock 1000 category, Sgt Thomas will compete in the ultra-competitive SuperSport 600 Cup onboard his Triumph 765 and then we will have Lt Viveiros and Pte Warren-Goode battling it out in the BMW F900 Cup.
