Just one to go…
The 2021 Bennetts British Superbike Championship reached the penultimate round of the weekend, and the drama continued to unfold across the paddock. In the Superbike class, there was action aplenty as the wet weather saw three incredible races. Young Storm Stacey was able to shine on his GR Motosport Kawasaki, while Tommy Bridewell overcame a crash on Saturday to remain just 21 points behind going into the final round!
In the Quattro Group British Supersport class, Ben Currie also bounced back from a crash on the Saturday to secure another podium, heading into Brands Hatch 31 points behind with 50 still up for grabs! Further trophies came in the Pirelli National Superstock 600 class, with Zak Corderoy securing victory.
The R&G-supported Honda British Talent Cup series came to a close at Donington Park, and an incredible double victory from Casey O’Gorman saw him secure the title by just six points! We’ve really enjoyed supporting the series again for 2021, and a huge congratulations to all of our sponsored riders – including Casey, Carter Brown and Evan Belford, who finished first, second and third overall.
