NORA CRS END THE BRITISH CUP SEASON ON A HIGH!

The NORA CRS Development Team headed into Gossington for the final round of the NORA92 British Cup Championship with it all to play for and the riders didn’t disappoint!

All eyes were on Freddie as the team headed into the final round, sitting just 13 points behind the championship leader — but he didn’t let the pressure touch him. He delivered an incredible last round and clinched 3rd place in the Big Wheel championship standings for 2026, a brilliant achievement to cap off his season.

   

That wasn’t our only success of the weekend, with Ronnie taking 2nd places in 3 out of the 4 races, he managed to bag some championship points and came 4th in the Small Wheel Championship, just 3 points behind 3rd, he also managed to bag 2nd overall on the day! Ollie finished the championship standings in the top 10, taking 9th place in what is an incredibly competitive Youth group!

   

Although the 2026 season has been tough for the team, with multiple riders out injured at different points, their determination never wavered. They kept pushing, kept showing up, and gave everything they had — and they proved that at Gossington. Every single one of the boys rode with heart, leaving the whole team genuinely happy with how the season came to a close.

   

Team manager Gemma Barton, had this to say to the team’s performance:

“Wow… what an incredible season it has been for the NORA CRS Development Team at the NORA92 British Cup Championship, and we truly ended on a high at Gossington. I couldn’t be prouder of every single one of the boys. Their hard work and determination have shone through from start to finish. 👊🏼🏁
We’ve come away with some outstanding championship results: Freddie securing 3rd in the Big Wheels, Ronnie taking 4th in the Small Wheels, and Ollie earning an impressive 9th in the Youth. And of course, one of the standout moments of the season — Seb delivering the team’s first ever British Cup Race Win at Landrake… a year of milestones I won’t forget.👊🏼
Even with several riders missing parts of the season due to injury, their determination never wavered. They kept pushing, kept showing up, and never gave up! 💥
With the 2026 season now coming to an end, I honestly can’t wait for 2027 to begin. This year has set such a strong foundation — and I know we’re not just going to repeat it; we’re going to improve on it. With some exciting things already in the pipeline, I’m certain that 2027 will be our year to show everyone exactly who we are, what we stand for, and just how far this team can go🩵💚”

 

Gemma also went on to say:

“I’d also like to take a moment to thank everyone who makes the NORA92 British Cup Championship happen. Carl and his team have delivered an incredible series throughout 2026, and we’ve genuinely loved every second of it. As a team, we can’t wait to be back in 2027, ready to push even harder and fight for those championship titles.”

NORA affiliation is conditional upon compliance with NORA Rules and Regulations throughout the affiliation year, running from 1 January to 31 December.
The organisation/club is responsible for its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation and operational procedures. NORA affiliation, or the issuing of an RTA permit, does not mean NORA has checked, approved or accepted responsibility for those documents.
NORA reserves the right to suspend or revoke affiliation, licences and permits where an organisation fails to comply with NORA requirements or where serious concerns are identified.

1. Annual Affiliation and Compliance

Affiliation with NORA 92 Limited trading as NORA Motorsport (“NORA”) is granted on an annual basis, commencing on 1 January and expiring on 31 December of the relevant calendar year, unless suspended or terminated earlier.
Affiliation is not automatically renewed. Each organisation/club must complete the annual affiliation process and receive confirmation of acceptance from NORA.
By applying for and accepting affiliation, the organisation/club agrees to comply with all applicable NORA Rules and Regulations, policies, procedures, safety requirements and permit conditions throughout the affiliation period.
The organisation/club acknowledges that continued affiliation, the issuing of Road Traffic Act (RTA) exemption permits and access to NORA licensing and insurance arrangements are conditional upon ongoing compliance with these requirements.

2. Organisation/Club Responsibilities

The organisation/club accepts full responsibility for the planning, organisation, management and safe operation of all activities and events conducted under its authority.
This includes ensuring that appropriate documentation, procedures and safety measures are established, maintained, implemented and enforced.
In particular, but not limited to, the organisation/club is responsible for:
Preparing, maintaining and implementing its own supplementary regulations, ensuring they comply with applicable NORA Rules and Regulations.

The organisation/club acknowledges that responsibility for the adequacy, accuracy, legality, implementation and enforcement of its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation and internal procedures rests with the organisation/club.

3. NORA’s Role and Limitation of Responsibility

NORA provides the regulatory framework under which affiliated organisations/clubs may organise and conduct approved motorsport activities.
Affiliation with NORA, or the issuing of an RTA permit, does not constitute confirmation, certification or approval by NORA that an organisation/club’s supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation, risk assessments or internal operating procedures are adequate, compliant or suitable for their intended purpose.
Unless expressly confirmed in writing, NORA does not undertake responsibility for preparing, reviewing, verifying or approving an organisation/club’s internal documentation.
NORA shall not be responsible for any failure by an affiliated organisation/club to prepare, maintain, implement or comply with its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation or internal procedures.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

 

4. Road Traffic Act (RTA) Exemption Permits

RTA permits issued through NORA are granted strictly on the understanding that the organisation/club and the relevant event will comply with all applicable NORA Rules and Regulations, permit conditions and regulatory requirements.
The issuing of an RTA permit is conditional upon compliance with NORA’s regulatory framework and does not relieve the organisation/club of its responsibilities under applicable legislation or its own supplementary regulations and safety procedures.
An RTA permit must not be interpreted as confirmation that NORA has independently inspected, verified or approved all aspects of an event or the organisation/club’s internal documentation.
Where NORA becomes aware of, or has reasonable grounds to suspect, non-compliance with its Rules and Regulations, permit conditions or relevant safety requirements, NORA reserves the right to:

Suspend or withdraw an RTA permit already issued, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Require corrective action or additional documentation before permitting further activities.
Suspend or terminate the organisation/club’s affiliation.
Suspend or revoke any NORA-issued licence or authorisation, subject to the applicable licensing rules and procedures.
NORA may take immediate action where it reasonably considers this necessary.

5. Non-Compliance and Withdrawal of Affiliation

Compliance with NORA Rules and Regulations is a fundamental condition of affiliation.
Where an organisation/club fails to comply with these requirements, or fails to maintain and implement appropriate supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation or operational procedures, NORA reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action.
Such action may include suspension or termination of affiliation, refusal or withdrawal of RTA permits, and suspension or revocation of NORA-issued licences or authorisations.
NORA may request evidence of compliance, including copies of supplementary regulations, risk assessments, health and safety documentation and other relevant records.
Failure to provide satisfactory evidence of compliance may result in the suspension or withdrawal of affiliation, permits or applicable licences.
Where reasonably practicable, the organisation/club will be given an opportunity to respond to identified concerns. However, NORA reserves the right to take immediate interim action where necessary for safety or regulatory reasons.
