🏁 RACE REPORT: C**k o' the North – Oliver's Mount
​What a weekend at Scarborough! Oliver's Mount always delivers top-tier road racing, and this year’s C**k o' the North was no exception. Fast, tight, and unforgiving, the natural road circuit put rider and machinery to the ultimate test—and we are coming home with silverware!
​🥇 Lightweight 400 Class — 1st Place
​The 400 was on rails all weekend. After putting in solid laps during qualifying to dial in the gearing and setup for the Mount's relentless twists and climbs, it all came together in the race.
​ The bike felt fantastic underneath us, allowing us to build a comfortable gap and cross the line to take 1st Place! A massive testament to the team's hard work in the paddock.
​🥈 Supertwin Class — 2nd Place
​The Supertwin race was an absolute battle from lights to flag. With a stacked grid of sharp machinery and skilled road racers, the pace was high right from the warm-up lap.
​We got stuck straight into the lead group, pushing hard up the hill and backing it in through the hairpin. After a high-intensity battle, swapping positions and pushing the limits on every sector, we crossed the line in a hard-fought 2nd Place. To stand on the podium in such a competitive class is a brilliant result for the team.

​A massive THANK YOU to:
The Team: For everything you do to make sure we get the bikes out there on time and in perfect condition!
Our Sponsors: Your support makes getting on these grids possible.
The Marshals & Officials: For keeping us safe all weekend around the Mount.
The Fans: The atmosphere along the hedgerows was mega as always!
​Onwards and upwards to the next one! ✊🏁

🏁 RACE REPORT: Southern 100 🏁
​What a fantastic couple of days of racing at the Billown Circuit! We are absolutely thrilled with how the bikes and the team have performed!
​Here is how our races stacked up:
• ​Race 1 (Yesterday): Started from P9 on the grid, but after a hard-fought battle, we managed to climb 2 places to finish in a brilliant 7th!
• ​Race 2 (Today): Back on the grid and backed it up with another fantastic 7th place finish! Even better, we found some serious extra pace and went 2 seconds faster than yesterday’s race.
​This wouldn't be possible without the incredible team working tirelessly in the paddock, our phenomenal sponsors who keep us on the track, and every single one of our supporters cheering us on from the hedges and at home. Your belief in us means everything!
​Time to celebrate this one and get ready for the next grid. ⏱️🚀

Podium Success at the Oliver’s Mount Barry Sheene Festival!
​What a weekend at the Scarborough jewel! The team tackled the iconic, ultra-challenging Oliver's Mount circuit for the annual Barry Sheene Festival, and we are coming home with silverware and massive smiles.
​Oliver’s Mount always demands respect, with its tight hairpins, steep climbs, and tree-lined straightaways. But the bikes were on rails, the strategy was spot on, and the hard work paid off in spades.
​🏆 The Headlines
• ​400 Class: 1st Place! 🥇
• ​Supertwin Class: 2nd Place Overall! 🥈
​🏍️ How the Races Unfolded
​Dominance in the 400s
From the drop of the flag, the 400 was absolute magic. Oliver's Mount rewards smooth corner speed and precise lines, which suited our setup perfectly. After putting its head down and establishing a commanding rhythm, the team claimed a spectacular 1st place finish.
​Grit and Pace in the Supertwins
The Supertwin races are always a dogfight around the Mount, and this weekend was no exception. Facing a fiercely competitive grid, we pushed the bike to its absolute limits through the jumps and chicanes. After a weekend of intense, bar-to-bar racing, our consistency and outright pace secured a phenomenal 2nd place overall- anchored by a mega battle all weekend that rewarded us with our maiden win on the Supertwin!

​A massive thank you to the team, who kept the machinery perfect between sessions, and our incredible sponsors, whose support makes these podiums possible. Most of all, thank you to the fans who lined the hedges and cheered us on all weekend!
​Onto the next one. Let's keep this momentum rolling!
​

Scrutineering cleared at the Mount!
The Aprilia RS660 and Kawasaki 400 have both passed scrutineering with flying colors.
​The weather is tracking well, the atmosphere at the Barry Sheene Festival is already brilliant, and we are ready to get out for today's practice, qualifying and race sessions.
​Keeping it smooth, finding our markers, and chasing those lap times. Let's have a safe and fast weekend! 🏆
