About NBS Endurance Racing

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.

Join the Grid for 2026

Whether you’re a returning rider or joining us for the first time, now’s the perfect time to get involved. Spaces are limited, and our grids are filling fast.

👉 Be part of the NBS Endurance story — register your team for 2026 and experience racing with no bull, no fuss, and no hidden extras. Just pure endurance.

Teesside Motorsports – A Circuit with History

Teesside’s story as a car and kart circuit is one of steady evolution, driven by passion for motorsport.
When the original kart track first opened, it quickly became known for its fast corners and technical layout — but in 2003, the circuit underwent a major transformation.

The track extension added the uphill section that defines the circuit today, transforming it from a short, flowing layout into a true test circuit capable of hosting a huge range of vehicles — from karts and bikes to GT and rally cars.

Since then, Teesside has become one of the UK’s busiest and most versatile motorsport venues. Thousands of track miles are driven here each year, with car testing and development days forming the backbone of our off-season calendar.

Our circuit combines fast, sweeping corners with heavy braking zones, elevation changes, and complex transitions that reward precision and control — making it a favourite among professional drivers and enthusiasts alike.

Safety & Circuit Standards

Every track day is overseen by a highly experienced marshal team, first aid trained and supported by professional medical cover.
We pride ourselves on maintaining the same level of organisation and safety expected at national-level competition events — even on informal practice days.

  • Full safety briefing before each session

  • Professional marshals and control staff

  • Paramedic-level medical cover

  • Sound testing and vehicle checks available on request

  • Spectators welcome, free of charge

🏁 Join Us This Winter

From private testing to relaxed track days, Teesside Motorsports offers one of the most dynamic and enjoyable circuits in the UK — a place to develop, learn, and drive at your own pace.

📲 Book online now or get in touch to schedule your winter test session.
There’s no off-season here — just more time behind the wheel.
