British Supersport - Round 6 - Brands Hatch GP

I came into Brands confident and was excited to be back at Brands! After a good start at Brands I was buzzing for the race and raring to go. I qualified 7th EVO and the times were so close 0.5 of a second between 1st to 7th!

Race 1
I got a shocking start but made my way through at turn 1 up to 5th behind Freddy Pett, I got into a good battle with Freddy, Levi Day and Niall Campbell, we were all swapping place the whole race with some hard overtakes! I was good fun and I finished with a great laptime of 1.29.7 which put me 4th on the grid 15th overall for the feature race tomorrow! I finished 5th. 

Race 2
I got a better start this time and ended up in another battle with Levi and we started to catch Jamie Perrin and then I had a 3 way battle and some awesome racing! We all put in some good overtakes as we were fighting for 4th, Bjorn went down and we then were battling for 3rd, I got about 1 second ahead of Levi and Jamie and the next lap I noticed that Levi had gone down with Jamie and I could see Marshall Neill ahead and I was closing, so I pushed on and made a pass on Marshall at Druids on the last lap and finished 2nd my best result of 2015! I was so happy with the result and the weekend. Also the trophy and champagne were a bonus!

Levi's crash was worst than I thought and I wish him all the best on his recovery and hope to be battling with him again soon! 

Massive thanks to Mark Hanna, Road and Race, Mum and Dad, Richard at Maxton and all my supporters!



Also thanks to my sponsors Oxford Products, HJC, Maxton, Pro Bolt, Motor parts direct, Pipe Werx and Kushitani.
