Bradley Ray began his racing career in mini motos before moving onto circuit racing, competing in the British 125 Championship where he had top five finishes in the overall standings.
The Kent contender then had three seasons in the MotoGP paddock with the Red Bull Rookies series with a fourth place in the 2014 standings.
Ray then returned to the British paddock in Supersport in 2016 , finishing third in the Championship battle, which saw him get promoted to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship class.
Ray returned stronger for his second season in Bennetts BSB, claiming his first race victory in 2018, before making it a double at Donington Park, before qualifying for the Showdown for the first time to end the season in sixth place.
Ray was hampered by injury across several seasons, but claimed a debut Bennetts BSB title in 2022 with the Rich Energy OMG Racing Yamaha team.
He returns this season with Raceways Motorcycles following an eleventh-hour entry to line up on the Yamaha R1. The last-minute deal followed the sudden withdrawal of OMG Racing, which left 2022 champion Ray without a ride on the eve of the 2025 season. Ray, who won the championship for Yamaha with OMG in 2022, is an 11-times BSB race winner, having stormed to the title in 2022 with nine victories and 23 podium finishes and is now gunning for a second title.
