Yamaha Motor Europe Fully Behind VMXdN Hawkstone
By Team TMX on 2nd Apr 26
With the 2026 VMXdN relocating to the iconic Hawkstone Park Grand Prix circuit, anticipation is building and the event’s partners are firmly on board with the move.
Leading that charge is Yamaha Motor Europe, alongside its dedicated Yamaha Heritage department. Working in collaboration with Paul Denning - who also heads up Yamaha’s World Superbike effort - the brand continues to play a major role in the evolution of the event.
Now entering their fourth year of involvement, Denning and Yamaha remain fully committed to VMXdN, which returns over the August Bank Holiday weekend (August 27-30).
Yamaha machinery will once again be front and centre on track. Event promoter DocWob has chosen the marque as his weapon of choice, fielding five 2002 YZ250s alongside a 2005 YZ250 for the American team, as well as for Italian three-time world champion Alessio Chiodi.
The Stolen brand squad will also line up aboard YZ250s, with high-profile names including Carson Brown and Doug Dubach adding further star power to the gate.
Off track, Yamaha Heritage will deliver a standout presence in the paddock. Fans can expect an impressive display of historic factory race bikes, alongside Crescent Yamaha race-team replicas - some of which will be available to view and purchase.
The display won’t stop there. From entry-level machines through to the flagship YZ450F and even the adventure-ready Tenere 700, Yamaha’s full range will be represented. Add in official merchandise opportunities and a factory rider signing session, and there will be plenty to keep fans engaged throughout the weekend.
All signs point to a standout event at Hawkstone. With further details on VIP camping set to be released soon, now is the time to start planning.
Spectator tickets and camping passes are available now at www.vmxdnhawkstone.com
