Classic TT 2026

I came to the island to get two finishes and to enjoy myself. And I really did.

Two top 10 finishes and a really big smile.

None of this would have been possible without my family and my sponsors and friends. Thank you all so much to them and to everyone who has supported me and taken the time to text and ring to wish me luck.

Thank you everyone it was the best experience of my life.

Manx/Classic TT 2026.

We are all ready and loaded and sitting at the port waiting for the boat the Isle of Man.

Its been a quite year and not much to write up on. Hopefully we'll have a good Classic TT and get a finish on both bikes.

Im no. 39 in the historic junior classic and no. 49 in the ultra-lightweight.

Huge thank you to every single person who has helped me over the last 2 years to get here. It wouldn't have been possible without all of you.

Here's some pictures from this year so far and hopefully plenty more to come.

Tandragee 100 2026

We had a mixed weekend at Tandragee last weekend.

Junior Classic
Bike went well in qualifying. Finished up in p2 on the grid behind Barry and ahead of Dan Sayle. In the race I got a good start but yet again Barry dissappeared into the distance 😆. Myself and Dan Sayle had a great race and I just nipped him on the last corner on the last lap. I also posted the fastest lap of the race 3:38.689 so well happy.

Moto3/ 125
Got out for my first ever time on a moto3 on the Parker Car Transport bike. Didn't really know how I would go as I had never ridden one before and the track was wet but drying. I ended up qualifying in p3 just 2 seconds behind MD. In the race I got a bad start and ended up way down the pack but fought my way through the pack and got back up to p3 in the moto3s, but unfortunately coming across the jumps on lap 2 the bike cut out and I couldn't get it going again so that was the end of my race.

Overall I'm really happy with my pace and my ability to adapt to a new bike. I want to thank Gerry Parker and the whole Parker team for having faith in me and giving me the opportunity to ride their bike. They are the only team to actually give me a bike to ride that is competitive and I hope I showed my potential. Thank you to my family for helping me run around the place and having everything perfect for me and for the support. Thank you to all my sponsors who have helped me out and keep me racing.

Thank you again to ARN Race Leathers for supplying me with a class set of leathers too. They really are great quality. And thank you to the Riddall family for choosing me as the rider of the day, these trophies really do mean so much to me.

‼️🚨ARNOLD AND PARKES TO JOIN PARKER CAR TRANSPORT RACING FOR THE TANDRAGEE 100 AFTER GILBERTS NW200 CRASH!🚨‼️

Gareth Arnold #83 and Kyle Parkes #6 to Join Parker Car Transport Racing for the Tandragee 100 after Don Gilbert had a serious accident at the NW200 back in May!

Gareth the 23 year old, originally from the Isle of Man will return to the team riding our Kawasaki 400 in the Supersport 300 class after a strong year last year with the team. He had a season highlight of getting a podium at Armoy. He makes a return to the team this weekend at Tandragee!

We met up with Kyle at Kirkistown and had a great chat with him so we were delighted to put him out on our Moto-3 this weekend. Kyle has been successfully competing in the Moto-3 class on Honda 125 2-stroke so moving over to the 250 4-stroke will be a smooth transition!

As many of you know our full time rider Don Gilbert had a bad crash at the North West 200 breaking his thumb and shoulder. This will result in him missing the Tandragee 100 where he was set to make his debut.

So we are delighted to announce that Gareth and Kyle will be attending the Tandragee 100 this weekend on Parker Car Transport Racing Machines!🤩

——————————————
We are very excited as we build up towards this event as it is always one of the best events on the calendar!

Please remember we have merchandise on sale to raise money for our 2026 Manx Grand Prix campaign! Only £20 so get yourself down buy a T-shirt and watch some incredible racing!👕

We are glad to say that Don will be track side so make sure and come and say hello. He is making a strong recovery and has been making lots of positive progress and we can’t wait to see him this weekend!❤️‍🩹

As always we would like to say a huge thank you to our amazing sponsors who devote their efforts into our team!😊

Great days racing yesterday in Kirkistown.

Great to get back out at Kirkistown I haven't raced here since 2020 so had to try remember which way to go 🤣

Qualifying was a lovely and wet so had to take my time and stay upright.
Classic p3
125/moto3 p5

Classic race
It was still a bit damp in places so just steady away went down to p5 at one stage for a few laps and then on the last two laps I put the head down and managed a p2 overall and p1 in class. I got the fastest lap also, so was starting on pole for race 2. Race 2 I led from the very beginning and just got quicker as the race went on so p1 overall and p1 in class.

125/moto3 race
Got a good start but them young ones just cleared off and left me by the 3rd corner. Was a quiet race but good to get up to speed and familiarise myself with the track. With a few of the leaders crashing I came home with a p3. Race 2 got a good start was up to p3 into the fist corner but again was shown how to properly ride a bike 🤣 I was able to keep them in sight for a few laps this time though so I suppose that's something. So p5 in race 2.

Overall a great weekend and good to get back out. Huge thank you to Riz Mike at ARN Race Leathers who supplied me with a custom set of race leathers for the season ahead. Great fit and so easy to move around in.

As always a huge thank you to my family who are always by my side. And to all my sponsors.

Cookstown 100 2026

A great start to the 2026 season. I went to Cookstown with little to no winter testing, bar a few laps round Mondello on the 125 a few weeks ago.

Practice went well, just slow and steady to build myself up. Also to make sure the bikes were all set up properly after the winter.

Classic 350
Started from p5. Steady start got past a few lads on the second lap and got tagged onto the back of Dan Sayle for a couple of laps which pulled me away from the rest of the pack. Ended up finishing in p3 which I am really happy with.

Moto3/ 125gp
Strated from p10 overall (p8 in class) got a good start. Put the head down and got away from the rest of the pack apart from Gary Jordan who was right on my back wheel for the entire race. I managed to stay ahead for the whole race and came home in p7 (p5 in class).

I am over the moon with my results and to come away first 125 and p5 up against moto3s is just class. My goal is always just to go as fast as I can. It doesn't bother me where I am once I had a good race and went as fast as I could go, and weekends like this where I come away with a p3 and p5 just makes all the hard work pay off.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me and everyone who supports me.

Thank you Ben at Raysons Exhausts for a class set of pipes for the 350 also.
