Sponsors Drive Armoy Forward

Central to the event’s ongoing success is the unwavering support of its sponsors. The Bayview Hotel, Portballintrae, returns once again as the title sponsor for the prestigious Race of Legends, reinforcing its longstanding partnership and commitment to grassroots motorsport.

Speaking on the importance of sponsorship, George Huey, Treasurer of the Armoy Motorcycle Road Racing Club (AMRRC), noted:

“The financial support of the sponsors is vital in enabling us to host and meet the rising costs of running the Road Races.”

Two standout names, Park Electrical Services and Brap Moto, continue their five-year collaboration as joint sponsors of the Senior Support Race.

Davey Chambers, owner of Brap Moto, remarked:

“I am delighted to once again be involved with the Armoy Road Races. The event grows year on year… it’s a brilliant opportunity to see classic bikes and top riders in action on such an exhilarating course.”

A Community Tradition

The races are more than just a motorsport event — they are a celebration of community, heritage, and high-octane excitement. Local patrons Ian Hickinson and James McKillop will once again sponsor the Junior Support Race, showcasing the future stars of the sport.

Meanwhile, stalwart supporters like The Diamond Bar in Ballymoney and The Mermaid Club in Kircubbin continue their backing of the Lightweight Supersport Race.

Ken Palmer from The Mermaid Club shared:

“We’ve proudly supported the Armoy Road Races for sixteen years now. It’s a highlight of the calendar — and we’re excited to be part of it again.”

Stephen Hargan, Manager of The Diamond Bar, echoed the sentiment:

“To watch world-class road racing on our doorstep is something special.”

Looking Ahead to July

Gareth McAuley, Chairman of the AMRRC, reflected on the event’s remarkable evolution:

“What started as a local meeting in 2007 has become a globally recognised, two-day race that continues to attract riders and fans from all over. Our sponsors are a huge part of that story, and we’re thrilled to have their continued support.”

With the Bayview Hotel Race of Legends set to close out the weekend on Saturday 26th July, spectators can expect thrilling wheel-to-wheel action, incredible skill, and an unmatched atmosphere.
