Indian Good at Goodwood

Indian Motorcycle featured on the iconic Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb course in southern England in July 2024 , with legendary Northern Irish racer Jeremy McWilliams piloting the King Of The Baggers racer and Brandon Robinson taking his American Flat Track expertise over from the U . S . Rubbing shoulders with the greatest riders , drivers and vehicles from all forms of motorsport , the Indian Challenger RR offered festival goers a unique chance to witness the thundering sounds of the King Of The Baggers racer as Jeremy McWilliams smoked the Challenger RR rear tire during full throttle rolling burnouts on the famous Goodwood hill . " There ' s not many , if any , events like this anywhere in the world ," said McWilliams - who also took in the Indian Riders Fest and ' AMD Approved ' Indian-only Budweis Custom Show on his trip to Europe . " Seeing these baggers racing on YouTube is one thing , but seeing and hearing them up close is something
The independent boards of the Motorcycle Industry Council , Motorcycle Safety Foundation , Specialty Vehicle Institute of America and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association voted to select Christy LaCurelle as President and Chief Executive Officer of all four powersports associations . " I have made it my life ' s work to help as many people as possible learn and love life on two , three and four wheels , and being able to bring my marketing expertise and powersports passion to lead these associations is a privilege ," said LaCurelle . " I am looking forward to working with the teams to get more people riding and driving , to take training , and to always practice safe riding and driving habits whether they are on the road or the trail ." The MIC says that LaCurelle has a track record of building platforms and teams
else , so it was great to put on a show with the Challenger RR for the passionate and knowledgeable Goodwood crowds . I think we ' ve really surprised a lot of people with the sound and performance of the bike ." The Indian FTR750 hit the Goodwood hill in the capable hands of Brandon Robinson , who has amassed nine wins and 23 podiums over the course of the last five seasons and is currently third in the 2024 SuperTwins standings
