Bridlington Race The Waves
Hear the roar of the engines! Watch vintage vehicles and motorbikes race along Bridlington South Beach!
Race the Waves is one of East Yorkshire's biggest events.
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. The racers can either opt to organise themselves or randomly arrive at the starting area and go with the flow. 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.
