British Motorcycle Racing Club (BMRC) is the oldest & largest Racing club in Great Britain. Successful riders from there will normally move up to British Super Bikes (BSB) and then to World Superbikes (WSB) or MotoGp depending upon their sponsors and luck. Casey Stoner is an well known example who has raced with BMCRC in the past.

Emmanuel Gnanaraj who is a National Champion of 150cc in 2001 in India, is now racing in United Kingdom with BMCRC with his YAMAHA R6 in the Open Rookie class. Emmanuel is known as "Manny -THE NURSE" among other British & European riders. He is quiet popular among the British racing crowd being the only Indian rider to race in Britain at the moment.

He said, "It was a bit challenging for me to adapt to the high standard of Racing in the United Kingdom compared to Malaysia where I raced in 2007. I am pleased with my results so far knowing that we are competitive although running with standard engine and we are going to tune the engine for next round which will give us more power and confidence, hopefully will finish on podium".
