A motorcyclist wearing a black racing suit and helmet leans into a curve while riding a white scooter with the number 92 on the front. The rider is on a paved track with grassy areas in the background, competing in the British Scooter Racing Championships. The image is credited to Tim Simpson Photography.

Our team is a few races into this years’ British Scooter Racing Championships. (BSSO) We are racing a classic Lambretta and as motorsport tends to go – there have been ups and downs. We have had mostly ‘ups’ though because even a bad weekend racing is a brilliant weekend.

The first image is of me (Tim Simpson) at the British Scooter Racing Championships, and the rest of the scooter photographs are by me.

I love taking photos and I also love racing – so you could say this is the perfect weekend for me!

If anyone is thinking “you can’t race a scooter”… one Casa Lambretta rider (an Italian team who competed in our championship last year) was only half a second off the outright lap record at Lydon Hill.

And at Mallory Park this year – a group 4 rider (not the fastest group) was only 4 seconds off Kevin Schwantz’s time on a 500cc Grand Prix bike! Now that IS impressive!
