Mallory Park preview
07 Oct 2010
This is a big, important weekend. At Mallory Park I have a good chance to secure the championship title. Right now I have a lead of 124 points and so long as I have at least 100 of them left on Sunday afternoon then I’ll have done it. That takes some of the pressure off […]

ThundersportGB at Anglesey
18 Sep 2010
This weekend the series is at Anglesey in north-west Wales though without the wide bar entertainment of the Streetfighter class. It’s our turn to skip a round which is a shame as it’s a fantastic circuit in an amazing location. My friend Sam is racing on his CB500 and he’s flying again. He’s on pole […]
Action from Brands on TV
15 Sep 2010
The ThundersportGB TV show will air tomorrow, Thursday 16 September at 9pm. There was great racing in almost every class at Brands Hatch so watch the whole show if you can. Both of my races in the Streetfighter class were exciting and also look out for the incredibly close racing in the Thundersport500s and the […]

Brands race 3
30 Aug 2010
Another clear win for me, though this was a two-part race owing to a messy crash involving my team-mate, Nigel Davis. Although it looked bad, I’m glad to report that he’s fine and the bike isn’t too bad. Chris Matthews was second in my class and Mark Andrew third. Barry Utting won class B. In […]
Brands race 4
This one was really tough, but I won again. Keith Smith got a great start and found a huge amount of pace too. I was behind him for two laps and pretty shocked at how fast we were going. I passed him into Paddock Hill Bend and got my head down, but when I checked […]
Overtaking Rear-end Aftermath
29 Aug 2010
I overtook a BMW Z3 who then put his foot down. I gave the bike a bit more and got past with no more problems. I was riding at about 80 in a 60.
Brands race one
I hope none of you reading this find what I’m about to write in any way boring or predictable, because I rode my heart out and the result is really exciting for me. I won. By 17 seconds. And I smashed the old lap record down to 49.6s. Before the weekend I’d thought how cool […]
Brands race 2
Short version – I won! The rain stopped an hour before the race and the sun came out so the track was drying fast. I checked the circuit with ten minutes to go and it was still damp so I went for my harder wets which work like intermediates. Thanks to brilliant help from good […]
Brands Hatch practice and qualifying
28 Aug 2010
It feels great to be back at Brands, the place I consider my home circuit. After last year’s bad luck I really want to do well this weekend. Usual apologies for the lateness of this blog and the absence of a proper preview. It was another week of ridiculous hours at work and everything else […]
