Former HRC Honda racer and multiple GP winner Evgeny Bobryshev is coming to the green fields of Farleigh Castle Vets MX to flex his muscles and show his super impressive speed on the grassy hillside.

The former British champion, who lived in Holland for 17 years, will come to Farleigh for the first time in the vets races and is sure to be one of the front runners, if his performance at VMXdN Foxhill on a CR500 was anything to go by!

His professional career was cut short as he held onto his Russian passport. Unlike big stars of other sports like cycling and tennis who can compete as ‘neutrals’, motorcycling federations across the globe cracked down on all Russians competing following the Ukraine war and enforced a blanket ban.

Bobryshev will race a 1992 Honda CR 500 supplied and prepped by his former team manager Neil Prince and will work out of his long-time sponsor SC Sporthomes for the weekend. He will also have his 2009 HRC CRF 450 on display, though he prefers the comfy seat on the 500!

The countdown is on… Farleigh Castle Vets MX roars back into Somerset in just one week, September 10th–13th 2026! Now in its 17th consecutive year and celebrating its third season under the new management that’s taken entries, crowds and track prep to a whole new level, this is the OG vets event returning to the most picturesque and natural GP circuit in the country. For 2026, riders will be tearing across four decades of era-correct machinery, with the twin shock class reinstated and a brand-new 4-stroke era class added to the mix, expect practice and two full races each day, plus a nostalgia-packed legends parade in Sunday’s lunch break, all building to the legendary Farleigh Vets MX team race that delivers the bar-to-bar action fans travel from across the UK and abroad to witness.

Gates open midday Thursday, September 10 for early access, with a chilled Friday of track walks and scrutineering before the racing kicks off, so grab your ticket online or at the gate and make a weekend of it. With 2024 pricing frozen despite rising costs, this remains one of the most affordable, family-friendly weekends in motocross, complete with camping, an artisan food court, top UK trade stands led by headline sponsor The Range, and a beer tent on Friday and Saturday night featuring BBC Introducing’s Andrew Marston.
