Bill Kennedy MBE Clerk of the Course at the Armoy Motorcycle Road Racing Club said he was thrilled to hear the news. He said, \u201cGuy Martin has always been a great supporter of the Armoy Road Races and raced at Armoy up until 2015, thereafter he occasionally competed in classic and classic superbike races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know that Guy would love to be back at Armoy and riding in the Classics race, but we also understand that his diary this year is pretty packed, including trying to achieve 300mph on a motorbike amidst a few projects the timing of which we believe have not been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike all things Guy, until he\u2019s on the boat and heading to Armoy, or even driving into the paddock, just before the races, we\u2019ll not know for sure. However, his intention to race at the 2021 Armoy Road Races will be a great boost for the spectators and the Club.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy who won the Torquetronix Superbike Race in 2015 for Tyco-BMW Motorrad Racing has previously said \u201cIt\u2019s a right well organised meeting\u201d and he \u201calways tries to fit the Armoy in\u201d but if he does race this year, he\u2019ll be racing in the Senior Classics as opposed to racing in the Superbike or Open Races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill continued; \u201cTo date, we are doing very well for race entries but we\u2019ve some time yet. All entries are required to be in by the closing date Monday 28th<\/sup> June 2021. Likewise, our spectator passes, which we launched last month, due to the pandemic restrictions are also going well. We know that there are many keen to attend the event, and also keen to understand the restrictions but the only thing I\u2019ll say, particularly in this ever-changing world, is that the Club will be doing its very best to run these races and do so, safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe understand there are lots of questions and to that end we have a frequently asked question page, where we address riders and spectators\u2019 questions as best as possible. We\u2019ve less than three months to the races and circumstances could very well change again \u2013 we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I do know is that everyone is behind us, we\u2019ve been working on the course already and we are finalising sponsors as I speak, although I think that\u2019ll take a few weeks longer. There\u2019ll be racing in Armoy on Friday and Saturday, the 30th<\/sup> and 31st<\/sup> July and the likes of Guy Martin in the mix is very welcome news indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
