Scooter Endurance Racing – 28 June 2025

Posted on by ScooterNova in New Scooters, Scooter Event

If you’re not heading up to Scotland or down to Sussex this weekend for scooter rally, how about taking in some scooter sport?

Saturday 28 June is the first round of the BSEC (British Scooter Endurance Club) scooter endurance racing, which takes place at Whilton Mill near Daventry in Northants (postcode NN11 2NH) and ScooterNova magazine are once again proud to be a sponsor of this fabulous race series.

The race will be for 8 hours with a packed grid of teams riding tuned classic geared Lambretta and Vespa scooters, competing in four classes: Pro, Race, Road and Club.

The schedule for the weekend is practice on Friday 27 June from 16:30 to 18:30 for early arrivals, then timed practice for qualifying from 9:00 to 9:30 am. The race itself starts at 10am, concluding at 18:00, with the awards presentation taking place afterwards.

Whilton Mill is a spectator friendly circuit and it is free to go along and watch. There is a bar serving drinks and food onsite and camping is available too, for those wanting to get there Friday and take it all in.
Having taken part in BSEC racing ourselves we know how exciting it is and also how friendly the teams are. So for all those who may have questions about what is going on or if you simply want to watch them in the pit-lanes as they change riders, refuel the scooters and maybe carry out essential maintenance too, you are welcome to have a good look around – just don’t get in the way when they are attempting the fastest tyre change on scooter you may have witnessed!

As well as being a BSEC sponsor, ScooterNova magazine also sponsors schoolboy George Fielder who has recently started racing classic scooters. This weekend he is taking part in his first scooter endurance race – once he and his dad have finished building his Vespa of course!

Team George will have the brand new edition 50 of ScooterNova magazine for sale at their Team HQ at Whilton Mill, along with some previous editions too and EVERY PENNY of the magazines they sell go towards funding young George’s first steps into the world of scooter racing.

So please do take time to search out Team George, say hello, have a chat and treat yourself to a magazine or two. Not only do you get a good read with ScooterNova to look forward to, but you will be directly helping George on the track as well.
