Indian Motorcycle has announced acclaimed racer Jeremy McWilliams as Guest of Honour at this year’s Official Indian Motorcycle Riders UK National Rally, taking place at Brooklands Museum from August 28th to 30th. McWilliams is one of the most respected names in motorcycle racing and was recently presented with the MCN Lifetime Achievement Award. His extensive career has included competition in the 250cc and 500cc World Championships, MotoGP and the North West 200, alongside many years of testing, development and coaching the next generation of racers.
His relationship with Indian Motorcycle began in 2022 when he joined the modern day Indian Wrecking Crew, racing the Indian Challenger in the King of the Baggers championship and the FTR in the Super Hooligans series. McWilliams played an important role in developing the Challenger into a competitive race bike, securing several podium finishes and a memorable victory during the 2022 Daytona 200 weekend.
As Guest of Honour at Brooklands, McWilliams will meet riders throughout the weekend and share stories from his racing career. “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Jeremy McWilliams as our Guest of Honour,” said Gina Evans, Marketing Manager for Indian Motorcycle UK. “Jeremy is a fantastic ambassador for motorcycling and someone whose career and passion for two wheels resonate strongly with our riders.”
Hosted by Indian Motorcycle dealer Rideworx, the rally is open to riders of all motorcycle brands. Friday’s programme includes American BBQ, racing simulators, access to the Brooklands Motor Sheds, Concorde tours and entertainment, while Saturday brings a packed schedule featuring trade stands, a wheelie machine, stunt displays, a custom bike show, King of the Baggers display and live music.
Riders will also have the opportunity to take their own motorcycles onto the historic Brooklands track, while test rides on the latest Indian Motorcycle range will be available throughout Saturday, including the Indian Chief Vintage. The weekend concludes on Sunday with Brooklands America Day, bringing together a selection of American cars including Mustangs, Dodges, Chevrolets and hot rods alongside entertainment, food, trade stands and memorabilia.
