BMCRC (bemsee) motorcycle racing. A look at the riders, and behind the scenes, the support network that gets them to the grid.

In the paddock, and on the track, at race circuits around the UK, this series documents the ups and downs of club racing. It explores the challenges that riders and their supporters have to overcome.

Starting in the 2026 season, as a photo essay, it will evolve into a photo documentary in 2027, with stories that bring the riders and their Unseen Grid to life.

Watched over by the Orange Army of volunteer marshals and the officials who ensure track safety, and supported by families, friends and sponsors, the start lights go out. Then it’s all down to the rider - their skill, their bravery and sometimes their luck.
