The ACU is pleased to confirm Wayne Braybrook and his RAW Enduro organisation as the new promoter of the ACU British Extreme Enduro Championship for the next three years.
Wayne is a seasoned competitor in the Extreme Enduro discipline, having won five ISDE gold medals, taken victory at the Hells Gate Extreme Race, and been one of only two official finishers at the Red Bull Last Man Standing event in the USA.
His vast experience and wealth of knowledge in the saddle has enabled him to organise some of the best events in the Enduro calendar during the last 18 years, including the Ballbreaker Extreme and the Summit Extreme. Wayne and RAW Enduro have also been responsible for running three British Enduro Championship Time Card weekends.
“After months of meetings and discussions, RAW Enduro is excited to have agreed terms with the ACU, allowing us enhance the professionalism of the highly-regarded British Extreme Enduro Championship,” Wayne said.
“Our mission is to provide regulated high-end entertainment for fans, while maintaining a sharp focus on the progression of the amateur scene at grass roots level on the morning of events.
“We are looking for continuity across all the British Extreme events. This will involve maintaining the same multi-lap race format, introducing better signage, having one standard podium area at all events, introducing a ‘mic zone’ where rider interviews can take place pre- and post-race, and having better communication via a PA system at events.
“We’ll also be encouraging commercial partners to invest in the championship for a real-time return on their investment via social media channels and key areas at events. This partnership represents an exciting step in the development of the ACU British Extreme Enduro Championship.”
Matthew Edwards-Wear, ACU Secretary General, welcomed RAW Enduro into the governing body of UK motorcycle sport’s promoter family and is looking forward to a positive collaboration.
He said: “We’re pleased to welcome Wayne and his talented team as the new promoter of the ACU British Extreme Enduro championship. For the Extreme Enduro discipline to develop and flourish at all levels, we need experienced former competitors and event organisers to drive it forward.
“Wayne’s passion for Extreme Enduro and the ACU British Championship has been clear from the outset and we’re looking forward to working with him to deliver a bright future for the sport.”
