The Yamaha Racing Heritage Club took a starring role at the recent Yamaha Racing Experience at Jerez, bringing together racing legends such as Valentino Rossi and Luca Cadalora alongside the manufacturer’s current crop of WorldSBK and Endurance World Championship riders at the Circuito de Jerez Angel Nieto on some iconic two-stroke machinery.
The Yamaha Racing Heritage Club (YRHC) was established to safeguard and celebrate Yamaha’s rich racing legacy, and what better way to do that than by inviting members and some legendary riders to the exclusive two-day Yamaha Racing Experience (YRE) in Spain?
The glorious weather at Jerez was matched only by the incredible lineup of World Championship-winning Yamaha riders. Nine-time Grand Prix World Champion Rossi was joined by three-time Grand Prix World Champion Cadalora, along with Yamaha’s current WorldSBK riders, including six-time Superbike World Champion Jonathan Rea and his Pata Prometeon Yamaha teammate, 2020 WorldSSP Champion Andrea Locatelli, plus double WorldSSP Champion (2021 & 2022) Dominique Aegerter.
On top of this, the reigning FIM Endurance World Champions, Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team’s Niccolò Canepa, Karel Hanika, Marvin Fritz, and Robin Mulhauser also got to join the fun. With all of these superstar riders, the 2024 YRE was always going to be an epic event, but the Yamaha Racing Heritage Club pit box proved to be a major highlight and won the praise of the “coolest garage” from Canepa!
