Team Genus Motorsport coming in hot

Genus Motorsport is emerging as a strong contender for the upcoming Wright Engineering team race at the 2026 VMXdN, set to take place at the historic Hawkstone Park circuit in Shropshire over the August bank holiday weekend. Managed by Dave Grimshaw, the team boasts a formidable line-up featuring Tom Grimshaw, Martin Barr, and Jamie Law, all of whom bring significant experience and competitive pedigree to the event. Tom Grimshaw, at just 26, has already made a name for himself with consistent top-three finishes in the MXGB series and will compete on a Honda in the veterans’ race. Martin Barr, a seasoned racer from Northern Ireland, adds considerable depth to the squad with an impressive record including 14 consecutive appearances for his country in the MXdN and multiple national titles. Though retired from full-time racing, Barr’s competitive spirit remains undiminished, and his presence is expected to be a key factor in Genus Motorsport’s challenge. Jamie Law, also 39 and hailing from Cumbria, rounds out the team with a career spanning two decades and several podium finishes at the British championship level. Despite a dramatic crash during the Matterley British GP EMX race, Law’s resilience and experience make him a valuable asset. The VMXdN event itself promises to be a highlight of the British motocross calendar, offering more than just racing excitement. Alongside the four days of intense competition, attendees can explore a bustling trade village, enjoy open paddock track walks, and take in the renowned Show’N’Shine, a celebration of two-stroke motorcycles. The event draws legends from across the globe, creating a unique atmosphere reminiscent of the golden era of 1990s motocross, where riders go head-to-head in a fiercely competitive environment. With spectator tickets and camping passes selling rapidly, fans are encouraged to secure their spots soon to avoid disappointment, especially as camping availability is already 75% booked. The anticipation is building as the VMXdN approaches, and the announcement of high-profile teams like Genus Motorsport only adds to the excitement surrounding this iconic motorsport festival.
