Perhaps can you help me with the results of Damon Hill's motorcycle races, please?

I read in his book, that he raced 1982, 1983 and partly 1984.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards from Vienna (Austria)

King of Brands in 1984 from memory

From what I remember, as I raced at most of them, he did all the Brands Racing Committee (later renamed the Kent Racing Combine) meetings in 1984.  He was sponsored by the circuit and was always in one of the garages in the pits whereas the rest of us were in the paddock.  He did win a bunch of races there that year.

There was a one make series for Kawasaki production machines which was run in the late 70's/early 80's(mainly at club meetings if I remember correctly).It was split into 2 classes.A series for Z500 and B series for KH400.Damon Hill raced in the A series.He finished 5th in the round that was held at Aintree on 19/7/80.Don't know where he finished in the final championship positions though.

I guess, Damon took part in the Yamaha Pro AM championship. Watch this:

Damon Hill certainly raced at the last Snetterton National in 1984 (October).

 

Good bragging story for me at work after he won the F1 World Championship! I could truthfully say I had raced against both Damon and Barry Sheene!
