Race The Waves 2026: Best pictures from unique racing event on Yorkshire beach

One of Yorkshire’s most unique events took place this weekend as a plethora of vintage vehicles took to one of the region’s beaches.

Race The Waves 2026 saw classic cars and bikes race the waves along Bridlington's South beach in pairs from a flagged start.

It is a tribute to times long past; where the Yorkshire beaches were the earliest proving grounds for land speed record attempts within the UK.

Vehicles perform 'spirited drag-races' in pairs over a 200 yard course marked in the fresh tidal sand.

Take a look at the best pictures from the event below.
