Why We Started NBS
NBS Endurance Racing was created by riders, for riders — born out of a passion for endurance racing and a desire to build something simple, fair, and transparent. We were tired of complicated systems, hidden costs, and confusing rulebooks, so we set out to create a championship where the focus is exactly where it should be — on the racing.
Our aim has always been to bring together riders who love long-distance racing and give them a professional-level experience without the professional-level price tag. From the start, we’ve made sure that every team gets what they need to compete: live timing, professional media coverage, and a well-run event at quality circuits across the UK.
And yes — the name NBS is a little tongue in cheek. It stands for No Bull Sht*, because that’s exactly how we run things: no gimmicks, no games, and no hidden extras. Just honest racing, great people, and long hours in the saddle.
That same spirit runs through everything we do — right down to our Honda AF class. It started as a laugh between riders about the sheer toughness of those bikes (“as fast,” “as fun,” “as f***ing reliable”), and it stuck. Now, it’s part of the NBS identity — light-hearted, straight-talking, and serious about racing.
What We’ve Been Up To in 2025
2025 has been a huge year for us. With a total of 54 teams competing across our endurance-only calendar, we’ve averaged just under 20 teams per round, and we’ve built a core group of around 20 teams who’ve joined us for the majority of the season. Their support and commitment have helped us shape NBS into a genuine community of riders who love the challenge of long-distance racing.
Each event followed our proven two-day format — one day of open practice followed by a full race day — giving teams plenty of track time to prepare and perform. Every round featured transponders, full media packages, and a live stream, so no one misses a lap whether they’re at the circuit or watching from home.
Looking Ahead to 2026
For 2026, we’ll be back with a full calendar of 12-, 8-, and 6-hour endurance races at circuits across the UK — and even across the sea! We may only be entering our second season, but we’re growing steadily and building a championship and community we’re proud of.
We’re also excited to announce our main series sponsor, M-Tech, who will be partnering with us to offer hire bikes at every round. Pre-season testing opportunities will be available, giving teams a chance to familiarise themselves with the bikes before race weekends.
Alongside this, we’ll be introducing an exclusive Junior Team Package, allowing young riders to compete on a shared package bike — making it easier than ever for teams of junior riders to get on the grid without relying on a single rider’s machine. All hire and junior packages will include the entry fee and all standard NBS benefits.
Media & Exposure
Our dedicated media team provides coverage at every round, from professional photography and livestreaming to post-race highlight reels.
Teams can also add optional media packages, including:
- Edited social media videos
- Sponsor highlight reels
- Team feature content
It’s a great way to promote your sponsors, showcase your riders, and relive your best race moments.
