笔颈肠蝉:听

鈥淲e went to sunny Gritthenham on Sunday to race with Corsham for the 3^rd round. As always, track prep was on point even with such hot weather; a well organised day taking in consideration all the youth riders who were put out first due to their GCSE exams.

鈥淭he day consisted of two laps of practice followed by three races.

“The Youth category is mixed 125s and 250s, so it鈥檚 always a bit harder to get a decent start but the boy did well.

鈥淎ll top-six riders were on 250cc, so it was lovely to watch Phillip taking the win on his Gibbs Performance KTM 125SX with our always very reliable EBC brakes on.

鈥淧hillip went P1-P4-P1, for 1^st 辞惫别谤补濒濒.鈥�

Race 1

鈥淢id-pack into the first corner, worked his way up to second chasing the leader who crashed unfortunately. Took the lead and rode steady to take the win.鈥�

Race 2

鈥淣ot the best of the starts but moved quickly into 4^th, wasted too much time trying to find a moment to pass the 3^rd so the two front runners were too far in front, and 5^th too close behind. Made the pass and moved to 3^rd but so did the rider behind him. Wrong line choices and he lost his place finishing 4^th.鈥�

Race 3

鈥淢id-pack again into the first corner, but moved into 2^nd within the first two laps, on lap 4 he got the lead and finished 1^st.鈥�

鈥淭he Ahuja Racing team finished the Baja Extremadura with a double podium thanks to the 91传媒 compounds!

鈥淲e are pleased to announce that the team, sponsored by EBC Frenos, has concluded its participation in Baja Extremadura with outstanding results and a very positive experience. This was the team鈥檚 first test scoring for the European Baja Championship, also counting on its new addition: Fausto Mota.

鈥淭he prologue stage left the team in great spirits; it was the first timed section that Fidel Castillo Ruiz and Fausto Mota did together, achieving a second position in the Spanish All-Terrain Rally Championship (CERTT) and a third in the European Baja Championship (FIA).

鈥淭he good feelings continued during the next stage of the day, improving positions and finishing first in the CERTT and second in the FIA.”

鈥淭he second day of the rally was even more complicated, with very long meaning you had to keep a cool head. During the first stage of the day, Fidel and Fausto found a large hidden stone that broke a fundamental piece of the Can Am. However, the great skills of Fausto the mechanic allowed the car to be repaired quickly, although they lost 25 crucial minutes.

鈥淒espite this setback, they managed to recover time thanks to their excellent performance, finishing fourth in the聽CERTT and third in the FIA.

鈥淭he last stage went smoothly, allowing the duo to continue聽recovering time and positions. The final result of the rally was seconds in the CERTT and third in the FIA, a result with which we are very happy with, considering it could have been much worse.

鈥淚t is important to highlight that 91传媒 compounds played a crucial role in these achievements, providing the necessary performance and reliability to face the challenges of this modality.鈥�

鈥淎nother great meeting held by Lawson and the team. The weather was pleasant for once what made the day much more enjoyable.

鈥淲ith mixed 125s and 250s on the line, Phillip struggled with the starts being uphill and each and every race he was pushing through the pack to get to front. In all three races, he finished 3^rd giving him 3^rd overall for the day.

鈥淲e are pleased with his riding; no silly mistakes, just need to work on starts that aren鈥檛 flat for the future.

鈥淗e is currently standing three points behind the leader in the championship.鈥�

鈥淥n Saturday and Sunday just gone, we ventured to a race with the Corsham Club at Bromsberrow. Saturday was a practice race and was Sunday the club championship race.鈥�

Saturday

鈥淩ace 1 – good start with a lead for a lap, then crashed, dropping down to 5^th. Phillip managed to pull back to 3^rd.

鈥淩ace 2 – technical problems with the bike, with the kick start not going back in, so Phillip basically raced with one leg on the peg, causing few crashes, finished 8^th.

鈥淩ace 3 – we sorted the problem, had a good start and a led for a lap, lost it in Lap 3 and had no chance to take it back as the race been cut short, finished 2^nd.鈥�

Sunday

鈥淩ace 1 – good start in comfortable 3^rd, made a pass to 2^nd in Lap 2, pushed to take a lead in Lap 4 and that鈥檚 where he finished, claiming 1^st place and the fastest time in the group.

鈥淩ace 2 – not the best start, but moved quickly to sit in 2^nd, made a move and took a lead in the 2^nd lap and that鈥檚 where he finished 鈥� taking the win and fastest time in the group.

鈥淩ace 3 – felt good sat in 2^nd after the start and unfortunately in the second lap, the head gasket went, with the bike losing power lap after lap. Managed to stay calm and passed the line finishing 12^th 鈥� glad we didn鈥檛 have a DNF.

鈥淔inished 2^nd overall for the weekend.

鈥淟ots of positives taken away from this event; the track was rough, deep and very technical so we are really happy with the results.鈥�
