Banks Racing Winning Team British Motostar Championship 2014

R&G British Talent Cup Young Riders Academy

Weather interrupts Donington Park final

Donington Park were hosts to the final round of the R&G British Talent Cup Championship held on the full GP length circuit. Alfie Davidson who had just set his best ever lap time round Donington Park was unfortunate to crash out on the last corner of the first race while challenging for seventh place after a light shower caught out several other riders too. Race two was a disaster for many as the heavens opened while on the grid. A quick change to wet tyres was made but we were unsure how wet it would stay so Alfie set off with only slightly softer suspension but the rain got heavier and we were no longer allowed to make changes. Alfie made a sensible choice to pull in as he was getting no feedback from the bike for the soaking wet track. Thanks to Glyn Richardson for the photo.

Some of our long-term sponsors have already pledged their support for the 2024 season and we thank them for that. Like many others who are dedicated to our sport, next year will be a massive struggle financially and we would love to hear from both new and old sponsors who are able to come on board for the 2024 season. This year the championship allowed more sophisticated data logging and suspension which has added unexpected costs to our budget so please help if you can to give the team and our young riders the chance to represent Britain at the highest level. Please help if you can. To contact the team call 07762 428210 or click here to email Peter or visit the team website www.banksracing125.com. PayPal donations can be left via our email address or just call for a chat. Thank you and look forward to seeing you trackside soon.

Thank you to all our friends, sponsors and supporters without them we could not go racing.
