We are pleased to announce that once again The Brooklands Motorcycle Team will be commemorating the work of WW1 Motorcyclists by re-creating one of the events that took place at Brooklands Race Track in 1915. Join us at Brooklands Museum on 30 September 2018 with your WW1 period motorcycle.




Join Brooklands Museum us as they mark the centenary of the end of World War One, with a special event encompassing the many aspects of Brooklands’ involvement in the Great War of 1914 – 1918. For this special event the Museum will be gathering automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, commercial vehicles, buses and aircraft from the period up to 1919. The event will also feature pre-1919 and military vehicles and “living history” demonstrations from reenactor groups with drills and parades. 

This year the Brooklands Motorcycle Team have secured the loan of the Matchless Motorcycle Machine Gun Carrier which will be on show with the other period machines. With our Brooklands Motorcycle Team hat on we will be recreating the WW1 Brooklands Motorcycle Events of 1915. This will be the first time we can run the event on the Start/Finish straight which was recently re-opened. 

We will be aiming to get as many WW1 period (2010-1920) motorcycles out on the track as possible, and to that end the Museum is granting free entry to Period bikes and riders who register in advance.
