2026 ARA Championship winners confirmed

Eleven classes wrapped up following final round

The winners of the 2026 Andreas Racing Association (ARA) Championship have now been confirmed following the final round of the series this month.

Champions across all 11 classes throughout the season have been crowned with Rory Parker taking the coveted Open Solo Centre Championship for 2026 with 171 points, 81 points clear of nearest contender, Kyle Casement.

Whilst Casement took the runners-up place there, he found success elsewhere by securing the Supersport Championship title with a haul of 177 points throughout the campaign.

Meanwhile, there were two riders who went on to claim two championships apiece - Francesco Faraldo went on to win both the Singles, Twins & Triples as well as the Supertwins & Sportbike Championships whilst Lex Gaval claimed victories in both the Post Classic and Pre-Injection 600 competitions.

Elsewhere, local talent, Sean Crone continued his positive progress in the sport by taking the Lightweight Championship.

Whilst the majority of championships were decided ahead of the final round - two went down to the wire with the CB500s and Novice & Clubman Championships fought out in the final to the season on Sunday, 13 September.

Scooping the CB500s honours was Ozzy Madey whilst the packed Novice & Clubman Championships went the way of Jack Meechan.

Away from the two-wheeled action it was Darren Hope and Lenny Bumfrey taking the top sidecar awards between them as they won the Open Sidecar Driver Centre Championship and Open Sidecar Passenger Centre Championship respectively.

Whilst the 2026 ARA Championships have come to a close, more racing will take place at Jurby Motodrome this weekend for the 2026 Celtic Match Races this Saturday and Sunday (26-27 September).

Manx Radio will be providing live race commentary across the meeting on our AM1368 channels.
