Oliver's Mount Racing

Oliver’s Mount road race circuit is England’s only natural ‘road’ race track. The challenging undulating track is situated just five minutes from Scarborough’s beach front, England’s oldest seaside resort.

Many fans have likened the track to a ‘miniature TT by the seaside’. Mass race starts around the breath-taking track provides close racing which delivers excitement no other track in England can match – which is why races fans love the stunning venue. It’s an overload for the senses, you can smell the fumes and rubber, you can feel the heat from the bikes – you’re so close to the action it feels like you could almost reach out and touch it.

Meetings take place around the challenging and undulating public road race track including The Spring Cup (May), Barry Sheen Classic (June), The Oliver's Mount Festival (July), and The Gold Cup (September).

Racers share the race fans love for the unique track, the 2.43 mile track has always been regarded as a challenging, tight and twisty circuit, which tests their skills to the maximum.

The late great Barry Sheene named Oliver’s Mount as his favourite circuit out of the many he raced on, in one of the most illustrious racing careers on two wheels lasting more than a decade and a half: “Yes, I think so, mainly because of the atmosphere and the fact that the actual racing was so much fun with the track being so tight.”
