“What a way to end the season! G&S Racing Kawasaki riders TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom completed both races and celebrated the final race with both riders in the points –ÌýTJ within the top four.

“After qualifying in 13th place for the short Sprint race on Saturday, TJ Toms started the 12-lap race from the fourth row and as the lights went out he immediately moved up to 11th on the opening lap. He tucked in behind Carter Brown and followed him through the majority of the race before making a move on the penultimate lap to snatch 10th place. He held his line through the final lap to take 10th at the flag and pick up sufficient points to leapfrog Dean Harrison in the rider standings to eighth position.Ìý

“There was a dramatic change in the weather for Sunday’s season finale with rain falling making the track wet and slippery. Full wets was the order of the day, with TJ lining up in the middle of the fourth row. With crashes to riders ahead of him, the safety car was brought out a couple of times during the race which allowed TJ to remain in touch with the leading group and he circulated in 10th position through the first half of the 15-lap race.

“He then began to make his way forward and was in fifth place going into the final lap. Not satisfied with that he made a concerted effort and passed Lee Johnston on the final lap to take a well-deserved fourth place to end the season in a solid eighth place in the rider standings.”

“Meanwhile, Jorel Boerboom came through first qualifying but gave himself a lot of work to do in the Sprint race after completing final qualifying down in 26th place. But he got his head down and made up a place to 25th on the first lap. He was embroiled in a five-rider battle for position and was able to pick off riders through the rest of the 12 laps to cross the finish line in 21st position.Ìý

“Starting the final race from the eighth row, it was always going to be a struggle to get up into a point-scoring position, but Boerboom was determined to end his season on a high note and worked his way through the midfielders to latch onto the back of the group fighting for 11th place. He picked them off one by one until he got to the front of the group. With the next rider too far ahead to catch, Boerboom took the chequered flag for his best result of the season in 11th place to pick up 10 championship points.”

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: “That was a great result in the final race for both riders. TJ rode well in the first race to 10th and was amazing in the wet final race with fourth. He rode the wheels of the Kawasaki to get up into the top five and thoroughly deserved the fourth-place finish.

“Jorel also rode well. He started from way back on row eight and fought his way up to 11th. What a great way to finish his season. I have to thank the whole team for their hard work over this weekend and also our sponsors who have stuck with us throughout the years. This has been our best season by far and we couldn’t have done this without their input. Also thanks go to our supporters, many of whom have been at the track to cheer us on.â€�

Friday Practice

“Friday’s practice went well. Small issue with the bike, but it wasn’t affecting my lap times, so we just rode around it.�

Saturday

Qualifying

“Went out and pushed on a bit, I knew I didn’t have to put it on pole, so I just rode smart and pushed for a few laps and put it on P2 with Ollie Sims on P1, with our lap times separated by 0.03 of a second.

Race 1

“Started the race but I noticed Ollie hadn’t gone to the grid. I pulled an 8-second lead after 3 laps and just brought it home in 1st place. Unfortunately, I came in to find out Ollie had crashed in the Minitwins qualifying and broken his collarbone.

Race 2

“Pretty similar to race 1; a good start, pulled a big gap and just kept at a consistent pace and brought it home in 1st place and secured the championship win.�

Sunday

Race 3

“It was cold so I had to think about how to ride so I didn’t overdo it. I put a gap to 2nd and brought it home in 1st place.â€�Ìý

Race 4

“My 1st wet race! Good start and just rode smart but after a few laps I caught some back-markers and lost a lot of time letting a few other riders catch. Sean took me into turn 1 after I ran wide, but I retook the position and pulled a little gap to bring it back home in 1st for the last time of the year and with the championship win.

“Fantastic last round with 4 from 4 wins. Big shout out to Ollie who I’ve battled hard with all year, not the way I wanted the year to end. GWS mate.

“Thank you each & every one of our sponsors supporters and friends.�

“G&S Racing Kawasaki rider, TJ Toms, rode to a brace of top-10 finishes at a stormy Oulton Park with teammate Jorel Boerboom finishing further down the field in the penultimate round of the 2025 British Supersport Championship.

“With Storm Amy disrupting Friday and Saturday’s track action due to high winds and torrential rain at times, it was not possible to complete qualifying so the grid was formed from results in the free practice sessions where TJ finished in 12th and Jorel 23rd position.

“Starting the short Sprint race from the third row, TJ Toms was running in 12th place for a while and entered into a battle for position with Zac Corderoy and Harry Truelove, finally completing the 10 lap race in 10th position.

“The Feature Race on Sunday was reduced to 12 laps because of long delays in the earlier Superbike race with TJ lining up on the third row for the start. He remained in 12th place through the early laps before starting to make his way forward on lap five. He picked off riders every other lap and found himself up in seventh place on lap seven.ÌýÌýDespite the riders just behind pushing to overtake him he was able to retain his position and crossed the finish line in seventh place 0.7s ahead of Corderoy.

“These two strong results retain his ninth place in the rider standings and move him just seven points away from Dean Harrison who holds eighth position.”

“Jorel Boerboom had a stronger weekend at Oulton Park. He started the Sprint race from the eighth row of the grid and made up a few places during the 10 laps but although he was right behind another group he ran out of time and had to be content with a 23rd place finish.Ìý

“He fared much better in the Feature race and although he lost a couple of places at the start he was quick to recover and made good progress, passing riders on nearly every lap until he reached 18th position on the penultimate lap. With the next group too far ahead to make any inroads to he finished the race in 18th place.Ìý

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: “considering the dreadful weather and all the stoppages, our two riders did very well. TJ rode the wheels off the bike to reach seventh place in the Feature race and was hanging off the back of one of the championship contenders towards the end of the race. Jorel also has made big steps forward this weekend and was only a few places away from a points finish. Thanks go to our loyal sponsors and to everyone who braved the weather to come to the circuit to support us. We look forward to the final round of the series at Brands Hatch and fingers crossed for some better weather!�

“The two G&S Racing Kawasaki riders, TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom, headed over to Assen in the Netherlands for round nine of the British Supersport Championship, where both riders completed the two races. TJ Toms added to his points tally to retain his ninth place in the overall rider standings.

“TJ Toms completed his qualifying for a fourth-row start to the first race which was held over to Sunday because of the torrential rain on Sunday. It was windy and cold but at least it was dry and TJ was running in 11th place during the first three laps. He ran wide and cut the course on the fourth lap which resulted in him losing three places down to 14th. But he got his head down and began to make up the places again and ended the 10-lap affair in 12th place to pick up four championship points.

“In the Feature Race, TJ started from row five and entered into a five-way battle for 9th place with all five riders circulating within a second. With three laps to go, TJ eventually caught and passed Lee Johnston and went on to cross the finish line in ninth position and be rewarded with another eight championship points which sees him retain his ninth place in the standings and reduce the deficit to eighth down to 11 points.”

“Jorel Boerboom was racing at his home track and was within one place of going through to final qualifying. He started the first race from the middle of the 10th row and made steady progress through the field to complete the race in 23rd place.

“Starting the feature race from the ninth row, he got a great start and made up eight places on the opening lap to 18th. On lap two he passed another four riders and found himself up into 14th position. He went on to claim 13th place and was on the back of the group fighting for ninth.ÌýBut it wasn’t to be and he gradually began to drop back and completed the 16 laps in 21st place.â€�

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: “The weather spoiled the weekend for us at Assen. With the first race postponed until Sunday morning it made for a busy day. The riders adapted well and TJ brought more points home for us and although Jorel was going well in the second race and running in a point scoring position for a few laps he wasn’t able to keep up with the pace of the faster riders. But to his credit he was hanging on the back of the group for quite a while. His family and friends were there to cheer him on and we enjoyed their company for the weekend. Thanks again to our sponsors who give us their support, we really appreciate their input.â€�

“Despite still recovering from the scaphoid injury picked up in the crash at Cadwell Park, G&S Racing Kawasaki rider TJ Toms rode to a brace of top-eight finishes in round eight of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship, while Jorel Boerboom suffered a crash in the first race but recovered to finish 23rd in the Feature race on Sunday.Ìý

“After qualifying in 11th place, TJ Toms began the Sprint race from the fourth row on Saturday. He got away to a good start and made up places on the opening lap to ninth. He was running on the tail of the leading group and entered into a battle for position with Oliver Barr exchanging seventh position with him over the remainder of the race. He finally made his pass stick on the final lap at Redgate and completed the race in a clear seventh position.Ìý

“TJ started the Feature race from the second row on Sunday, but although he got off the line well. he was impeded by another rider who crashed at the first corner and he was pushed back to eighth position to once again become involved in a battle with Oliver Barr. This time he passed him on lap five of 16 and went on to reel in the leading group on lap nine. He made it up to seventh on lap 11 when the rider ahead ran wide. But one lap later was back to eighth right on the back of the top seven and setting lap times quicker than the leader. But unable to make a pass he crossed the finish line in a strong eighth place picking up 10 championship points to add to the 12 scored in the first race which move him up to ninth in the rider standings on 108 points.”

“Jorel Boerboom was hampered by a technical issue during free practice and qualifying which subsequently left him down on the 10th row for the start of the sprint race. The team did a great job sorting the problem out in time for the start and Boerboom was riding well, picking up places throughout the 10 laps. But on the final lap he tangled with another rider at Schwantz Curve and crashed out of 21st place, his race over.Ìý

“Placed in the middle of the 10th row for the Feature race Boerboom was 29th on the opening lap but soon began to pick off the riders ahead and by lap 13 of 16 was running in 25th place. On the final lap he gained another two places and crossed the finish line in 23rd place.”

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: “It was a weekend of two halves for us. With his wrist feeling a tad tender we didn’t expect TJ to do what he did. He was amazing; his lap times were the same as the leading four riders and he was sticking with them through the first race. HeÌýÌýwould have been mixing it for the podium in the second race but for the first corner mele. He did so well to get back in touch with the leaders and has moved up a place in theÌýÌýstandings.â€�

“Jorel was at a disadvantage with a poor qualifying but he did make progress until the crash in the first race. then starting from that far back in race two he was never going to get into the top 20 but he persevered and got up to 23rd.ÌýÌý

“We go to Assen for the next round, its a more flowing track and will suit our riders. The team is on top of the job now and we are up there in the leading group. We are developing the bikes for the future. We have our eyes on the prize for next year and have some exciting news in the pipeline. Thanks go to our sponsors once again for their continued support plus our supporters who came along to watch this weekend.�

“The two G&S Kawasaki riders, TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom, had differing results at Cadwell in round seven of the British Supersport Championship, with Boerboom safely completing both races while TJ Toms recorded a top-10 result in the first race but was unlucky to crash out of the Feature Race on the opening lap.

“Toms was running well in Free Practice, within the top, 10 but was unable to maintain his position during qualifying and ended up on the fifth row for the start of the Sprint race on Sunday.

“He circulated in 13th place during the first half of the 12-lap affair, before making his charge forward, picking off riders on every other lap to eventually cross the finish line in 10th position.

“Toms started the Feature Race on Bank Holiday Monday from the fourth row and was challenging for position within a group of riders on the opening lap. But as the group approached the hairpin towards the end of the lap, Toms was unlucky to clip the kerb and crash, along with two other riders – his race over. A trip to the medical centre revealed a suspected broken scaphoid bone in his left wrist.”

“Meanwhile, Jorel Boerboom started the Sprint Race from the head of the seventh row. He didn’t get the best of starts and was circulating in 24th place through the first six laps. He did make up a couple of places in the later laps and crossed the finish line in 22nd position.

“Boerboom was placed on the eighth row for the start of the Feature Race and hadn’t really had a chance to make an impact before the race was stopped for the crash involving his teammate.Ìý

“At the restart and with the race reduced in length to 12 laps, Boerboom was determined to prove himself and after a steady start he began to pick up places until on lap eight he found himself up into the top 20. With the next group just out of reach, he maintained his position to the chequered flag to finish the race in 19th place.�

Team manager Tom Fisher: “Cadwell is one of those places where it all goes well or things just don’t go to plan for us! This weekend was the latter. TJ was unlucky to clip the kerb and crash. We are hopeful the wrist is not actually broken, he will know more when he goes to his local hospital for further checks. We hope to have him back on the bike for Donington Park in two weeks so he can maintain his 10th place in the championship.ÌýÌýJorel is improving with every race and managed to finish inside the top 20 with a 19th place in the Feature race. We just need to concentrate on his qualifying so he starts the race nearer to the front of the field as he has good race pace and could be finishing in a point scoring position.â€�

“The G&S Racing Kawasaki team with riders TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom were at a sunny Thruxton Circuit this weekend, where both riders completed the two races in round six of the Quattro Group British Supersport championship, with TJ Toms bringing more championship points back to the team.

“TJ completed his qualifying in 10th position and started Saturday’s Sprint race from the head of row four. He was quick to move up to 11th on lap three and then passed Harry Truelove for 10th two laps later. He then began to reel in the leading group and caught and passed Lee Johnston on lap seven. He continued to make progress and on the final lap was running in eighth position. But as they approached Club on the final lap he was pushed wide and finished the race in 11th position.Ìý

“Sunday’s Feature Race was disrupted by three red flags and the safety car because of numerous crashes. When the final red flag went out on lap seven of the restarted race TJ was running in 10th place and secured six championship points to add to the five he won in the first race. This takes his total haul to 80 placing him tenth in the rider standings.”

“Meanwhile, Jorel Boerboom rode well in both races and qualified for an eighth row start to the Sprint race. He came from 25th on the opening lap and picked off riders one on each lap to complete the race in 19th position. He was not fazed by all the stoppages in the Feature race and moved through from 22nd on the opening lap to 17th when the red flag brought the race to an end. Although not quite in a point scoring position Boerboom is progressing well and finished both races at Thruxton within the top 20.�

Team manager, Tom Fisher: “Thruxton is the fastest circuit on the calendar and also very hard on tyre wear and despite all the crashes neither rider was fazed by the stoppages and remained focussed to bring the bikes home safely with TJ picking up more points for the team. Thanks to all our sponsors and also our supporters who came to watch this weekend, we appreciate your input as without you we could not be racing at this high level.�

“The weather played its part in both races at Brands Hatch for the G&S Racing Kawasaki team last weekend, but both riders put in a strong performance, with TJ Toms scoring points in both races while Jorel Boerboom was unlucky to crash out of the first race in the tricky conditions but came back stronger in race two.

“After qualifying in 15th place, TJ Toms was hopeful of a top result, but a heavy shower of rain prior to the Sprint race on Saturday left the track wet and greasy with riders having to make a difficult decision on tyre choice. They were given a few laps of wet practice and although it was declared a wet race it was up to the riders to take the gamble on whether the track would dry or the rain return.

“Toms decided on a wet front and an intermediate rear tyre in the hope that the track would dry over the course of the 10-lap race. As the race got underway the conditions were dire and Toms dropped right back to 28th in the early laps. A dry line soon appeared and Toms began to make progress through the field. Those who had gone for full wets soon began to slow but Toms was flying and made up places every lap until he finally crossed the finish line in 12th position.

“Sunday’s feature race was run in similar conditions, neither wet nor dry, Toms had recorded the second fastest lap of race one and was rewarded by a front row start to race two. This time he gambled with full wets and as the race started he led the field for the first lap before gradually being overtaken as the track dried.Ìý But Toms stuck with it and completed the 16 laps in 14th place to pick up two more championship points to add to the four from race one.”

“Meanwhile, Jorel Boerboom started the first race from the 10th row and he was making up places with every lap. But on lap five while poised to move upfield once again he slid off at Graham Hill Bend, his race over.

“Starting the second race from the 10th row once again he was making good progress picking off riders on every lap and on the final lap he passed Adam Brown to secure 20th place.�

Team manager, Tom Fisher: “What a strange weekend. The outcome of both races was dependent on tyre choice. It was the same for everyone, just a gamble on whether the rain would abate or return. Who would have thought that TJ would come from 26th to 12th on Saturday and then have a front row start on Sunday. If that first race had gone another few laps he could have actually won it as he was two or three seconds faster than the winner! Jorel was unlucky in the first race, but for that crash he would have easily been in the points. Thanks must go to our loyal sponsors and supporters; we gave them some exciting racing this weekend!�

“The G&S Racing Kawasaki team travelled north of the border to Knockhill in Scotland for round four of the 2025 British Supersport championship recently, where TJ Toms secured his first podium finish in this year’s series and Jorel Boerboom fought hard to win his first championship point of the year for the team.

“TJ Toms completed his qualifying in 15th place and began the Sprint race from the fifth row on Saturday. In chilly, rainy conditions he got a good start and made up seven places on the first lap and another two on lap two. He then passed Luke Stapleford on lap three to find himself up into fifth position. When Ben Currie fell on lap four TJ was elevated to fourth place right behind the three leaders. On lap 10 he passed Jack Kennedy and then had to relinquish the position on lap 14 but made a final push in the treacherous conditions to pass him again and hold third place to the flag. In the feature race Toms ran a consistent race in sixth place to pick up 16 points which, added to the 20 he picked up in the first race elevates him to seventh in the standings on 63 points.”

“Jorel Boerboom qualified for an eighth-row start to the Sprint race and got a great start, making up an amazing 10 places to 17th position on the opening lap. He was riding within a large group of riders all circulating within a couple of seconds and exchanging places throughout the race. At one stage he was up to 12th place but by the end of the race he crossed the finish line just outside the points in 16th position. In the Feature race Boerboom started from row eight in 19th position and again made tremendous progress passing 10 riders in the first two laps. Again, he was fighting for 10th position within the group and was running in 11th for a couple of laps. He ended up in 15th place on lap 16 of 22 and remained there to cross the finish line and pick up his first championship point of the year.”

Team manager Tom Fisher: “Wow! What can I say? The whole team is celebrating TJ’s first podium for us and also Jorel’s first championship point of the season. Who would have thought we would come away from Knockhill in horrible weather conditions with such fantastic results. Both riders picked the right combination of tyres for the first race in such difficult conditions. Knockhill is a technically difficult circuit in the dry but in the rain it’s treacherous. But both riders rode so well and we came away with some great results. The team worked hard throughout the weekend and has been rewarded by this set of results. Thanks go to our sponsors and followers; we couldn’t have done this without your support.â€�
