2013 ACU National Champions
So the Championship went right down to the wire! The penultimate race at Brands Hatch in September was like a ‘home match’ for us. Both Steve and Ben are Kent boys, and both feel super-comfortable round this iconic track. That didn’t mean we didn’t start the day with a few nerves though. A win there […]

Winning weekend
There are few more beautiful sights in British racing than Cadwell Park on a sunny day. But the rolling hills, the lush green banks and the tall shady trees all mask the sheer ferociousness of this tight and twisty Lincolnshire track. Friday’s testing went well, both Steve and Ben got lots of laps in on […]

Snetterton 300: Round 1 replay
Snetterton provided it’s usual wet welcome on Friday, and we didn’t really get any laps out of the test day. To nick another sporting saying, it was an ‘early bath’ for us, and an early night dreaming of better weather. We were out for qualifying at 10.15, and were really pleased to qualify on pole. […]

Timekeepers tales
Early morning in garage number 8 at Donington and it’s cold, so bloody cold. My breath looks like it comes from a steam train. I think I should have brought more layers. I hug the tyre warmers for warmth. Little did I know that I would be applying the factor 50 by the end of […]

Round 6: Donington Park
Airports, Baffles and Chocolate. An ABC of bike racing… It’s really odd going to a racetrack and hearing bikes with a 98db limit on the track. Kind of like someone’s pressed the ‘mute’ button or turned the telly down. Friday’s test limit meant we needed to baffle the bikes (yes, really), so we were really pleased […]

Round 5: Cadwell Park Part 2
Conquering Cadwell. Part 2 “So she said, would you like an aquarium with that? I don’t care what its star sign is, I just want a fucking fish” Despite the 1am finish, spirits were much improved on Saturday morning and to be fair, qualifying first in our class set the tone of a day that […]

Round 5: Cadwell Park Part 1
Conquering Cadwell. Part 1 The problem with Cadwell Park is that its beauty belies its vicious ability to ride you ragged, chew you up and spit you back out again. All over the track if you’re not careful. Friday practice was proving difficult. By the time the rest of the team arrived around lunchtime, Keith […]

Round 2: Snetterton 300
Wet, dry, wet, dry…wet. Round 2 of the Hottrax Endurance championships brought us to Snetterton for the first time this year, to race the 300 circuit. All week the weather had been on and off raining, but on the Friday we seemed to be in luck, with it holding off. Track time was limited so […]
