The rider duo use 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 brake pads on their Honda CBR1000RR-R bikes

The Dean Hipwell-owned Whitecliffe CDH Racing Team has been competing in the Bennetts British Superbikes Championship for the 2025 season, with both Luke Hedger and Jamie Davies piloting Honda CBR1000RR-R machines.

Both bikes are this year equipped with 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 GPFAX sintered race brake pads on the front axle, and EPFA sintered performance pads on the rear.

After a successful round at Brands Hatch, we next caught up with the team at Cheshire鈥檚 Oulton Park, where treacherous weather conditions didn鈥檛 dampen the spirits of the two riders.

Read how it panned out in the team鈥檚 own words below鈥

鈥淲e have just completed the penultimate round of the 2025 season, heading back up to Oulton Park for Round 10.

“After Luke put a lot of effort into his recovery, he managed to gain back the strength in his shoulder and was back on his Honda to take part alongside Jamie.

“Friday started off with both Free Practice sessions. Luke finished P7 in both of these after showing great pace. We also then had a Pre-Qualifying in which he took 11th place automatically being put through to Q2. A brilliant start to the weekend!

“As for Jamie, his engine blew after a few laps of FP1, resulting in an engine change for the team and now limited track time鈥 The team managed to get the engine swapped before FP2, however a technical gremlin meant he only competed 3 laps in the second session.

“Saturday morning, we were supposed to be out for our FP3 session, the horrendous rain however put a halt to any proceedings until further notice. Eventually we got out at 12:50 for the 10-minute session.

“We were ready to go for Qualifying. Jamie made his way out for Q1, he completed 4 laps with a best of 1:54.624. He would start race 1 from 22nd.

“Now it was time for Luke to go out. He was sat in P3 for most of the session but finished in P9, this was a 3rd row start and a great performance by Luke. His best lap time was a 1:46.084, just 1.463 off of pole.

“Race 1 was shortened to 14 laps after a red flag for rain. Luke had a great ride and finished in 12th, bringing home more points. Jamie didn鈥檛 make the end and pulled in due to a slight issue with the bike.”

“Sunday we had to 2 more races鈥 Race 2 Luke started from 16th and Jamie 23rd. We got underway and a few laps in then the red flag got shown due to contamination of the track.

“After a lengthy delay we got a rescheduled 8 lap sprint. Both Luke and Jamie were setting steady and consistent lap times and came across the line in 16th and 20th. 聽

“For the third and final race of the weekend we were 17th on the grid with LH, and 22nd with JD. Luke circulated 4 times before making his way down pit-lane with a technical issue.

“Jamie was still out to complete the race and was right on the back of a battle between B. Baker and J. Van Sikkelerus marginally ahead of him. He stayed with them throughout the whole race and took the flag 0.9 seconds behind them.听

“Overall, a very good weekend for the team despite the weather conditions.”

The rider duo use 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 brake pads on their Honda CBR1000RR-R bikes

The Dean Hipwell-owned Whitecliffe CDH Racing Team has been competing in the Bennetts British Superbikes Championship for the 2025 season, with both Luke Hedger and Jamie Davies piloting Honda CBR1000RR-R machines.

Both bikes are this year equipped with 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 GPFAX sintered race brake pads on the front axle, and EPFA sintered performance pads on the rear.

We caught up with the team after the fifth round at Kent鈥檚 Brands Hatch circuit, where they had another successful weekend.

Read how it panned out in the team鈥檚 own words below鈥

鈥淩ound 5 of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship took place at Brands Hatch in Kent, England.

鈥淥n Friday afternoon, we went out on track at 1pm for our first session, and 4pm for Free Practice 2. After both of the two 40-minute sessions ran smoothly, both Luke and Jamie were happy with how the bikes felt ahead of the rest of the weekend coming up.

鈥淭he next morning, we were out early at 9am for a 10-minute FP3. Luke finished P14 and Jamie P21.

鈥淏oth of our Honda machines were out for Q1; Luke went out for six circulations, setting a best of 1:26.221 鈥 just missing out on Q2! Jamie set seven laps 鈥 a 1:27.605 his fastest.”

鈥淲e started the first race of the weekend from 16th and 24th respectively. We had a dry track under us for Race 1. Following on from Luke鈥檚 point scoring streak, we hoped to gain a few more this weekend; he rode a great race to bring home another point in P15.

鈥淛amie finished 22nd; he was feeling very confident in the bike and happy with finishing the 20-lapper. We still had more to come!

鈥淥n Sunday morning, we headed out early for the warm-up session ahead of the two races later on in the afternoon.

鈥淒ue to Race 1鈥檚 lap times, Luke lined up 16th (1:26.605) and Jamie slotted in 23rd (1:28.107). This race was strong from both of our riders. On the #23 side of the garage, Luke scored his best finish this season, crossing the 12-lap sprint race in 13th after battling with Swann, Stacey and Mcconnell. On Jamie鈥檚 side of the garage, he took half a second off his best lap time and crossed the line P20; a brilliant race for both of our riders and a great setup for us headed into the final race.

鈥淟uke started P14 and Jamie 21st for Race 3. Luke had another very strong race, fighting throughout the whole race for another point finish. He finished 14th 鈥 less than half a second off Mconnell.”

鈥淎 little unlucky on Jamie鈥檚 side as he pulled into the pit after a mechanical issue.”

“Overall, a very strong weekend from both of our riders. A haul of points added to the riders鈥 Championships, with both feeling confident and happy with how their bikes feel and the direction we are heading in. Roll on Thruxton!鈥

Owens has used EBC鈥檚 GPFAX pads and floating motorcycle discs on his Kawasaki ZX-10R in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship throughout the season

The Dean Hipwell-owned Rapid CDH Racing Team employed Josh Owens to pilot a Kawasaki ZX-10R in the Bennetts British Superbikes Championship for the 2021 season.

Owens is proudly supported by 91传媒, meaning his race bike featured the firm鈥檚 GPFAX pads and floating motorcycle discs in each race.

As the championship comes to an end, the team gives us an update on how the season went in their own words below.

鈥淭he 2021 season started off great for us at Rapid CDH Racing. During pre-season testing (when the weather was on our side), we achieved personal bests at each test.

鈥淩ound one at Oulton Park continued that form, with Josh setting a personal best lap time of 1.35.5 and getting through qualifying one into qualifying two.

鈥淯nfortunately, at the end of qualifying one, Josh suffered a large crash, which luckily he walked away from but the bike didn鈥檛 fare as well with it taking substantial damage.

鈥淭he team managed to get it turned around just in time for the race but the setup wasn鈥檛 quite right and Josh pulled in. For race two, the bike was working much better and was lapping as fast as he did during qualifying, only narrowly missing out on a point behind Andrew Irwin in 16th place.

鈥淔or race 3, Josh was running in 13th position in front of Rory Skinner but unfortunately there was a technical issue that stemmed from the qualifying crash which forced Josh to retire from the race.

鈥淥nwards to Knockhill and with the team in high spirits after a positive Oulton Park round, we had a steady free practice one as most of the competition had tested there a couple of weeks before.

鈥淚n free practice two, Josh suffered a crash which again damaged the bike quite badly, but much worse than that it had damaged Josh鈥檚 right hand to the point he needed an operation to install wires.

鈥淭his meant we had to miss both Brands Hatch and Thruxton rounds of the championship.”

鈥淔or Donington Park and Cadwell Park, we had a 鈥榮tand in鈥 rider with Joe Sheldon Shaw, it was a baptism of fire for Joe having never ridden a superbike before, but he improved every session at Donington. Unfortunately he crashed in race two and made the wrong tyre choice in race three but overall it was a positive weekend.

鈥淎t Cadwell Park, Joe again improved in every session and had a great weekend scoring a point in 15th聽position in race two. Race three saw Joe again improve his lap times with a 1.28.2 and get in a battle with Dean Harrison.

鈥淔or Snetterton, Josh Owens was back from his injury to try and ride the bike. After a fantastic day one with Josh, he was only 0.3 seconds from his personal best lap time, even after a 6-week layoff and not feeling 100% fit.

鈥淯nfortunately, overnight his hand and wrist swelled up meaning he had very little movement and couldn鈥檛 finish the weekend.

鈥淥n the eve on Silverstone, Josh had an appointment with a wrist specialist which deemed that there are further issues with his wrist, meaning a MRI scan is required.

鈥淔or the last three rounds of the year, Josh returned riding the bike, albeit with a still badly damaged hand.

鈥淥ulton Park was about getting Josh comfortable on the bike again after such a long layoff, the next round at Donington GP which saw us with a season best result in the wet weather of 14th聽position, which was a nice boost for the team.

鈥淭he final round at Brands Hatch was looking good with Josh returning to form and setting personal best lap times in the free practice sessions, unfortunately in race one on Saturday Josh had a crash and damaged his hand again which he broke at Knockhill, which meant the end of the meeting and the season for us.

鈥淔or the 2022 British Superbike season, we are expanding to run a full two-man superbike team, with Josh Owens returning and Liam Delves joining the team, meaning we鈥檒l have a strong, young rider line up with both riders being 21 years old.

鈥淭he whole team would personally thank our team sponsors, without their help none of this would be possible!鈥
