American superstar racer and YouTube influencer, Red Bull’s own Carson Brown, will be making the transatlantic trip back to his favourite event in Europe to line up at the VMXdN Hawkstone in August.
Carson raced at the 2025 event and is uber keen to come and race the naturally sandy Shropshire GP circuit in 2026. He is back on a Stolen brand Yamaha. Carson will line up in both the Wright Engineering team race and the 125 – over 25 class. He will be something to watch on the smaller bike; and will be on the rev limiter for sure on that one especially. Team owner Anthony Revell is also building something special for Carson to line up in the Wright Engineering team race, so watch this space for news on that!
Carson will be in the UK for a week filming content on weird and wonderful bikes for his YouTube channel, but when the weekend gets here, he’s head down and as serious as it gets to go racing. He is a spectacular racer and a firm fan favourite, thanks to his approachable demeanour off the track.
