McAMS Yamaha has long been one of the most recognisable names in British motorcycle racing, earning its reputation through sustained success, professionalism, and a deep commitment to competition at the highest level. The team first emerged in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship in 2017, when McAMS partnered with the highly respected Raceways Motorcycles outfit to contest the series aboard Yamaha machinery.

Under the leadership of team owner Steve Rodgers, Raceways brought decades of racing experience to the programme, having competed across multiple national championships since the early 1990s. The formation of McAMS Yamaha marked a major step forward, and the team quickly became a front-running force in BSB. Over the following seasons, McAMS Yamaha accumulated an impressive haul of race wins and podium finishes, consistently fighting at the sharp end of the grid.

The defining moment in the team’s history came in 2021, when McAMS Yamaha enjoyed a landmark season. Tarran Mackenzie claimed the British Superbike Championship title, while the team also secured the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ Championships for Yamaha, completing a historic triple crown and cementing McAMS Yamaha’s place in British Superbike history.

After stepping away from the paddock at the end of the 2023 season, the original McAMS Yamaha outfit is set to make a highly anticipated return in 2026. Reunited once more, the team will spearhead its comeback with a strong multi-class presence. Former British Superbike Champion Brad Ray will lead the British Superbike campaign, bringing proven race-winning pedigree and experience back to the McAMS Yamaha colours.

Alongside the BSB effort, the team will also field Yamaha’s new R9 in the British Supersport Championship, with Ben Currie and Harry Truelove piloting the machine. This return marks the beginning of a new chapter for McAMS Yamaha, building on a proud racing heritage while looking firmly toward future success.
