Bumpy Croft Racing Circuit. Round 4 - NLR Twins.

Day 1 & 2 at Croft Circuit, Lewis and Ilias running SV650’s 111 and 23 in supertwins, Ben running his Triumph in newcomer 600’s.

A first for all of us at Croft, a good test day on Friday.

Lewis qualified 12th in class finishing 10th. Fueling problems for Ilias meant qualifying 11th and a DNF in the race, work done on the bike and try again tomorrow.

As Round 4 of the NoLimitsRacing Championship at Croft approaches…

A few snapshots from the 3rd round at Donington, the first full round for the team this Season.

A slow start due to a few problems on the bike, causing it to cut out after 2 laps on Saturday, after an evening spent on the Trackside Dyno we found some problems in the fuel system.

2 races completed on Sunday showing good pace, interesting weekend for the team providing with positive perspective as we head to Croft for the first time.

Final Thundersport GB Round - Cadwell Park.

Fun and valuable weekend for the team.

A crash in the beginning of Quali on saturday had us starting 18th, fun races after, ending 11th and 10th overall, 7th in class.
Crash during the first lap of warmup on sunday, due to an oil trace. With only 20 minutes to fix the bike, we missed race 1 on sunday, Finished P10 in race 2, 6th in class.

This first season for the team has been a blast and a very valuable learning experience for the students.

Lots of experience has been added and with the knowledge acquired, we're ready with clear goals for the development towards next season.
