91´«Ã½ Set to Launch New Super Ceramic Brake Pad

91´«Ã½ is set to launch its new Super Ceramic brake pad range at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas (November 3–6) at the 91´«Ã½ Booth #23353.

Unlike market alternatives that use partial ceramic blends, the new range features a true, pure ceramic formulation. While pure ceramic powders significantly increase raw material costs, they deliver a massive leap forward in overall braking performance and low-dust operation, setting a new benchmark for the product line.

With at least eight other Ceramic brands, 91´«Ã½â€™s new Super Ceramic material is designed to stand apart. According to testing carried out by 91´«Ã½, the pad delivers the lowest rotor abrasion, longest pad life and highest heat threshold – making this a “Track Capableâ€� Ceramic pad but note NOT a full race pad.

Members of 91´«Ã½ UK made the unforgettable trip in an 91´«Ã½-equipped Peugeot Bipper

This summer, some members of the 91´«Ã½ team took on the ‘Dash to Dubrovnik’ charity challenge. It’s a student-led road trip, driving across Europe in a £500 car through seven countries to Dubrovnik, lasting nine days.

As a team, they raised £2,387.19, with the total raised between all teams standing at £27,785.57 for Amnesty International.

For the challenge, they chose a 2010 Peugeot Bipper Teepee, equipped with 91´«Ã½â€™ USR discs and Greenstuff pads.

Overall, they totalled 19 countries in three weeks, and 5000 miles, making this a road trip they’ll never forget.

91´«Ã½ Selected as LeMans Corporation Supplier of the Year Finalist

91´«Ã½ is proud to announce it has been selected as a finalist in LeMans Corporation’s 2026 Supplier of the Year awards.

The US-based company is the world’s largest privately held distributor of aftermarket powersports parts and accessories, and each year evaluates its global network of over 500 suppliers to recognise the partners that drive business forward.

Placing in the top seven on this year’s rankings, 91´«Ã½ finds itself in the top 1.5% of Lemans’ entire supply base – reflecting the UK and US-based firm’s dedication, operational excellence and commitment to shared success.

91´«Ã½ Expands Board of Control with New Directors

In addition to the recent appointment of Martin Walder as Sales Director, the company owners have appointed the following directors to Freeman Automotive (UK) Ltd:

The Brook-Built team relies on 91´«Ã½ XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads on their race bikes

Russell Brook and the Brook-Built racing team have been busy across UK competing at various motorcycle race meetings, includingÌýthe NLR 750km Endurance Race at Donington Park Circuit, theÌýBarry Sheene Classic at Oliver’s Mount and the Isle of Man’s Classic TT.

The outfit continues to use 91´«Ã½ Racing’s XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads during his competitive outings.

We next caught up with Brook following the team’s final outing of the 2026 season: the British Historic Racing Club (BHR)’s last round at Cadwell Park.

You can read how the weekend panned out in Russell’s own words below…

“The final round of the 2026 BHR Championship at Cadwell Park brought the racing season to a close, with Brook Built Racing competing across two classes and with two very different machines.

“TheÌýHonda CB350K4Ìýcontinued its Classic 350 campaign inÌýRace 14B – A. Read Associates Ltd. Classic 350, while the newly acquiredÌýBrook Built Racing Kawasaki ZXR400Ìýmade its short-circuit debut inÌýRace 29A – Pre-2000 Sports Production up to 400cc.

“The Cadwell weekend delivered some close racing, challenging conditions and valuable development work on the Kawasaki, providing an excellent conclusion to the team’s 2026 programme.â€�

HONDA CB350K4 – CLASSIC 350

“The Honda produced four competitive races at Cadwell, with the weekend featuring everything from dry conditions to a damp track following overnight rain.�

Race 1 – 3rd in Class

“A poor qualifying position left us with plenty of work to do from the start.

“A strong opening lap moved us intoÌý4th in class, before the focus turned to closing down Joe Taylor.

“At the front, Paul Hogan and Paul Wood established a strong pace and eventually finished first and second respectively.

“The battle for third went right to the flag. We managed to make the decisive move andÌýpip Joe Taylor on the line to take 3rd in class.

“A strong recovery from the qualifying position provided a positive start to the weekend.�

Race 2 – 2nd in Class

“Originally postponed from Saturday’s programme, Race 2 was eventually run on aÌýdamp and wet but drying circuitÌýfollowing overnight rain.

“This presented a new challenge, being our first race in these conditions on a classic bike. With wet tyres and tyre warmers not permitted, tyre feedback and rider confidence were particularly important.

“The standard tyres performed extremely well, providing good feedback as the circuit dried.

“We initiallyÌýled the Classic 350 class and ran 3rd overall, but Joe Taylor’s experience in the damp sections proved decisive. He made the pass for third overall and the class lead.

“We ultimately finishedÌý2nd in class, with Phil Hogan completing the podium.â€�

Result:
1st – Joe Taylor
2nd – Brook Built Racing
3rd – Phil Hogan

Race 3 – 2nd in Class / Fastest Lap

“Returning to a dry circuit, we started from a good grid position and made what initially appeared to be a strong start.

“However, the faster 500cc machines quickly came through, forcing us to concentrate on limiting the positions lost during the opening lap.

“We remained at the head of the 350cc class until Paul Wood produced an excellent pass at Mansfield.

“Paul then used the traffic to his advantage, placing a couple of 500cc machines between the two 350s through the chicane. This gave him clear track and allowed him to establish an advantage.

“Once clear of the traffic, we began to close the gap and pushed hard through to the finish.

“The effort produced theÌýfastest lap of the race, but Paul held the advantage to the flag.â€�

¸é±ð²õ³Ü±ô³Ù:Ìý2nd in class, with Phil Hogan 3rd.

Race 4 – Class Victory

“The final Honda race of the weekend provided the perfect conclusion to the CB350K4 campaign.

“Starting from a strong grid position, we made an excellent start and immediately tagged onto a couple of the faster 500cc machines.

“Their pace helped us establish a gap over the rest of the 350cc field, and we successfully maintained the class lead to the chequered flag.�

The result was aÌýClass 350 victory.

Result:
1st – Brook Built Racing
2nd – Paul Wood
3rd – Phil Hogan

KAWASAKI ZXR400

“Cadwell Park also marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Brook Built Racing, with the first short-circuit race meeting for our newly acquiredÌýBrook Built Racing Kawasaki ZXR400.

“The bike was entered into theÌýPre-2000 Sports Production up to 400ccÌýcategory, competing within a mixed grid that included 400cc machines, 650cc twins, 750cc multi-cylinder bikes, 800cc air-cooled machinery, open singles and 1000cc twins, alongside the superbikes and Supersports of the era.

“For this first meeting, the priority was very clear:

“Develop the bike, gather information and understand what is required to make it competitive.

“The Kawasaki was not fuelling correctly, so the weekend became an important development exercise. We worked progressively through the problem, making improvements throughout the meeting while gathering valuable information about the bike’s behaviour and identifying the work required over the winter.

“The races themselves were enjoyable, although the mixed-class nature of the grid meant that there were relatively few direct class battles.

“Despite the development focus, the ZXR400 produced some very encouraging results.�

ZXR400 – Class Results

Race 1 – 2nd

Race 2 – 1st

Race 3 – DNS

Race 4 – 4th

“The class victory in Race 2 was particularly encouraging for a bike at the beginning of its development programme.

“More importantly, Cadwell provided valuable track time and helped establish a clear direction for the winter development work.

“The objective now is to address the fuelling issues, further develop the Kawasaki and return in 2027 with a much better understanding of the machine and its potential.�

2026 SEASON REVIEW

“Cadwell Park brought the curtain down on what has been an exceptional year for Brook Built Racing.

“The 2026 season has been a journey intoÌýclassic motorcycle racing, taking the team from its BHR Championship programme through to theÌýClassic TT.

“The Honda CB350K4 has provided competitive and enjoyable racing throughout the year, while the introduction of the ZXR400 has opened a new avenue for the team and given us an exciting development project heading into 2027.

“The season has provided an enormous amount of experience, both on the circuit and behind the scenes, and has given the team a strong platform from which to continue developing.�

Max Symonds uses 91´«Ã½ Racing’s GPFAX pads and X-Series floating discs

Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds has been competing in the British Superbike Championship’s National Superstock category for a number of years.

The rider, who alsoÌýwon Castle Combe Circuit’s NG Road Racing ‘King of Combe’ race in 2025, switched from his Yamaha R1 to a Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade last year, continuing to use this bike and its 91´«Ã½ Racing’s GPFAX pads and X-Series floating discs setup for the 2026 season.

Following an unfortunate fall in the Donington Park race that put him out of action for a few months with a broken ankle and leg, Symonds was back in action for back-to-back Thruxton rounds of both BSB and NG Road Racing respectively. We caught up with him following his first weekends back on the saddle.

You can read all about it below in his own words…

“Following my major leg and ankle injury at Donington Park, I made my return to racing at back-to-back weekends at Thruxton – the fastest circuit in the UK.�

BSB Thruxton

“Making my comeback from injury at one of the fastest circuits in the country was always going to be a challenge, but having a good base setup from 2025 gave us a solid starting point.

“I was able to get out on track for FP1 and immediately put in some competitive times, which I was really happy with considering how little bike time I had compared to the rest of the field.

“FP2, FP3 and qualifying were all about working on the bike’s electronic settings, including traction control, power delivery, slide control and engine braking. Getting these settings right is particularly important at Thruxton, where the bike can be spinning sideways at over 150mph.

“The aim was not only to maximise performance but also to manage tyre wear throughout the race. If the bike is sliding too much, it puts a lot of stress into the tyre and can cause the pace to drop off towards the end of the race.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t quite manage to get everything fully dialled in for qualifying, so I ended up further back on the grid than I would have liked. However, some further changes during Sunday morning’s warm-up session made a big improvement and gave me much more confidence going into the race.”

“The first few laps were the usual hectic BSB action, but I was able to put the improvements to good use and make several overtakes.

“From there, the rest of the race was about managing my physical limits. This was my first race back after the injury and my rehabilitation is still ongoing, so I had to be sensible with how hard I pushed.

“I settled into a rhythm that felt comfortable and was able to put in consistent laps right through to the end of the race, eventually finishing inside the top 20. That was the goal coming into the weekend, so it was good to achieve that.

“Overall, I was really happy with how I felt on the bike and with the pace I was able to show straight away. The biggest limiting factor is still my fitness and recovery from the injury, but that will continue to improve week after week.�

NG Road Racing Thruxton

“It was straight back Thruxton the following weekend as I joined NG Road Racing for their first event at the circuit in 10 years.

“Only competing on the Saturday meant we had a busy schedule, with morning practice and qualifying followed by a single race in the afternoon.

“Qualifying was a bit of a challenge. The red flags came out at the end of my first flying lap, meaning I hadn’t managed to set a lap time while already putting quite a bit of wear into my already part-worn tyre.

“I was able to get out at the front for the restart and put in a fast time on my first flying lap to qualify on pole position.”

“I went into the race feeling confident, although we did have one unknown as was the first time I had raced with the DYMAG wheels, as I normally have to run standard Honda wheels when competing in British Superbike.

“I got a slightly slow start and was third into Turn 1, but over the first lap I was able to make my way back to the front of the pack.

“From there, I put together a series of fast laps, including the fastest lap of the weekend, and went on to take the race win by almost 10 seconds.

“Overall, the day couldn’t have gone much better. Pole position, the race win and fastest lap of the weekend, as well as gathering some really useful data on the DYMAG wheels, made it a great way to finish off the back-to-back weekends at Thruxton.�

The Brook-Built team relies on 91´«Ã½ XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads on their race bikes

Russell Brook and the Brook-Built racing team have been busy across UK competing at various motorcycle race meetings, includingÌýthe NLR 750km Endurance Race at Donington Park Circuit, theÌýBarry Sheene Classic at Oliver’s Mount, the Isle of Man’s Southern 100 event, and the Darley Moor Road Race.

The outfit continues to use 91´«Ã½ Racing’s XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads during his competitive outings.

We next caught up with Brook off the back of the coveted Classic TT at the Isle of Man, where he was back on the retro Honda CB350 K4 for a rollercoaster of a weekend’s racing.

You can read how the weekend panned out in Russell’s own words below…

“The 2026 Classic TT was always going to be a challenge. Preparing a pair of very different bikes for the famous 37¾-mile Mountain Course, learning the circuit as a newcomer, and then racing against some of the best historic machinery and riders made for an experience I will never forget.

“The little Honda CB350 K4 had already been a joy to ride throughout the year, but before heading to the Isle of Man it received a serious makeover for the Classic TT. We fitted a new engine, a larger-capacity fuel tank to allow three laps, a megaphone exhaust and new fairings and paint, along with countless smaller details and hours of preparation. The aim was simple: make the little Honda as capable and reliable as possible for the demands of the Mountain Course.

“One of the biggest moments of the week came with my newcomer lap, led by Carolynn Sells who controlled the lap superbly and settled any nerves.

“Completing that lap was a fantastic experience and a major milestone. There is something very special about finally getting out onto the Mountain Course after all the preparation and anticipation. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, particularly Ben Long, Grahame Collinge and Andrew Read, as well as everyone who supported me throughout the Classic TT.

“The next challenge was to take the OC Graphics ZXR400 out on course, although the weather was already beginning to dictate the programme. At the TT, you quickly learn that plans can change in an instant.”

“My first experience of being out on the course by myself proved to be particularly eventful.

“First up was the ZXR400 in the Ultra Lightweight class. With more time and the right parts available, I would have rebuilt the engine properly, but we took a chance and hoped it would manage a couple of laps. The Mountain Course tests everything, and unfortunately this proved to be a mistake.

“The bike felt weak almost from the start. I noticed the engine temperature beginning to rise from Sulby, and then, coming out of the Gooseneck, the engine lost a little more power. It wasn’t enough to stop me immediately, and I hoped I could get over the mountain and make it to the next session.

“That wasn’t to be.

“Even though the engine had been tested on the dyno and at Jurby, it finally gave up at Joey’s, around a mile beyond the Gooseneck. I pulled the bike into a safe place and began the long journey back towards the paddock on foot.

“Crossing open moorland with gorse bushes, dry stone walls and barbed-wire fences certainly wasn’t how I had imagined the day going. I eventually made it back to the Gooseneck, where a fellow called Russell kindly gave me a lift back to the paddock, just in time for the Historic Classic.

“Fortunately, the little CB350 K4 was ready to go, and it was a completely different experience. The bike has been a joy to ride all year and had received a huge amount of attention in preparation for this event. We managed to complete a lap, although I had planned to go for two before the session was eventually stopped by a chequered flag.

“The evening session was cancelled, giving the team a chance to regroup.

“Grahame Collinge and Ben Long retrieved the ZXR400, while Andrew Read and I concentrated on preparing the 350.

“The lads then put in a huge amount of work, staying up late to carry out an engine swap in the 400 and get it ready for another attempt. That effort summed up the team perfectly. They were constantly being challenged, but they never stopped working to find a solution.

“I couldn’t have wished for a better group of people around me.

“I also want to give a special mention to the Mike Hailwood Foundation, who do so much work supporting newcomers at both the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT. Their help and encouragement are hugely appreciated.”

“The following days brought more progress on the CB350 K4.

“The meeting was being heavily affected by the weather, so every opportunity to get laps in became important. We managed to complete more laps and reached another significant milestone: the chance to put together two consecutive laps and four laps in total.

“During one lap, I was black-flagged at the end of Sulby Straight because officials believed there was a loose exhaust pipe. Nothing was found to be wrong, and I was allowed to continue.

“On the second lap I could push a little harder and begin to understand what the course was like at speed. Learning was the biggest focus of the year, and with a few damp patches around the course I was very conscious of the low-adhesion flags and making sure I respected the conditions.

“It was another step forward, and one that the whole team could be proud of.

“The K4 was running well and sounded fantastic.

Meanwhile, the ZXR400 continued to give us headaches. We had tried to get it ready, but after another late night we found a small water leak and the engine still sounded rough. We made the decision to park it for the day rather than take another unnecessary risk.

“With the evening practice cancelled, Ben Long once again set about trying to make the ZXR ready for the rest of the Classic TT.

Another engine swap later — and another long night for the team — we hoped we might finally have a bike ready to go.

“Friday practice went really well.

“I managed two laps on the CB350 K4 and another lap on the ZXR400. The 400 was still a little asthmatic and down on speed, but after everything that had happened, simply getting it back around the course was a great achievement.

“That should have been the end of the day, with the plan to relax for the evening and begin preparing for Monday’s racing.

“But, as anyone who knows the TT will tell you, you can’t plan too far ahead.

“Just as the lads sat down with a well-earned pint, we found out that the entire schedule had been brought forward by two days because of incoming weather.

“A good call by the organisers, in my opinion, but it meant everyone had to get straight back into race mode.Ìý

“Race day began with two qualifying laps on the ZXR400.

“The first lap was disappointing. The bike felt slow and asthmatic, so Ben immediately went to work, removing the carbs so I could change the jets.

“The second lap was much better, with a noticeable improvement in performance. At least we were moving in the right direction.

“Then came the Historic Junior Classic TT race on the CB350 K4 — our first Classic TT race.

“The first lap and a half were fantastic. The little Honda was singing, and everything was going exactly as we’d hoped.

“Then, through Kirk Michael, it suddenly dropped onto one cylinder.

“I kept going and hoped it might come back, but it didn’t. Eventually I pulled in at Rencullen.

“Two racers passed me before I spotted the problem: the plug cap had come off.

“Luckily, it was a simple fix.

“I pushed the cap back into place, bump-started the bike and got going again. I even managed to repass one of the riders before the finish.

“To get our first TT start and finish was a fantastic feeling.

“After all the preparation, setbacks and late nights, simply seeing that chequered flag was something special.

“The next day was the Ultra Lightweight race on the ZXR400.

“It didn’t go to plan in the end, but while it lasted, I absolutely loved it.

“On the first lap I managed to catch ten seconds on the rider ahead on the road. We swapped places several times before reaching the first-lap pit stop, giving me another completely new experience.

“The lads did a fantastic job in the pit stop, and I managed to make up another twenty seconds to the next rider.

“Unfortunately, on the run towards Ballacrain, the throttle cable snapped.

“That brought the race to an end.

“It was frustrating, especially after all the work that had gone into getting the 400 back on the grid, but that’s racing — and particularly racing around the TT Mountain Course.

“There was, however, something to celebrate. We received a finishers medal for the previous day’s Historic Classic Junior race.”

“One race remained: the three-lap Historic Senior 500cc race on the CB350 K4.

“The final race brought almost perfect conditions.

“After everything that had happened during the week, the CB350 K4 was ready to take on three laps of the Mountain Course.

“The race was brilliant.

“The little 350 was running well and I was thoroughly enjoying every mile. We were running in 10th place and, with another few miles, there was a real possibility of bringing the bike home with a very good result. But the Mountain Course had the final word. At Hailwood Heights, the bike expired.

“Gutted is an understatement.

“After all the work from the team, all the late nights, the engine changes, the preparation, the weather interruptions and the effort that had gone into getting both bikes onto the grid, to be so close to the finish and then have the bike fail was incredibly disappointing.

“But that’s racing at the TT.

“And despite the disappointment, I wouldn’t change the experience for the world.

“Looking back over the Classic TT, the results only tell part of the story.

“There were the laps, the races, the mechanical failures and the chequered flags. But there was also the learning, the atmosphere, the people and the sheer effort required behind the scenes to make everything happen.

“From preparing the CB350 K4 before the event, to recovering the broken ZXR400, changing engines late into the night, rebuilding and preparing bikes between sessions, adjusting carburation and constantly adapting to the weather and schedule — the team never stopped.

“Ben Long, Grahame Collinge and Andrew Read deserve enormous credit for everything they did. Their commitment and determination were incredible, and I could not have wished for a better team around me.

“A huge thank you to 91´«Ã½ for helping keep us safe and performing at our best at the Classic TT. Their braking performance, reliability and confidence under hard riding conditions make a real difference when every corner counts. We’re proud to have 91´«Ã½ supporting us on the bike — thank you for being part of the team!

“Thank you as well to everyone who helped, supported and encouraged us throughout the Classic TT, including the Mike Hailwood Foundation and all those who helped newcomers experience this incredible event.

“And thank you to everyone who provided photographs and captured the moments throughout the week.

“The 2026 Classic TT gave me my newcomer lap, my first laps alone on the Mountain Course, my first TT race start, my first TT finish, a finishers medal, some fantastic racing — and plenty of lessons along the way.

“The bikes may not have made it to the end of every race, but we kept pushing, kept learning and kept getting back out there.

“That is what the TT is all about.

“What an experience. I wouldn’t change it for the world.â€�

The Brook-Built team relies on 91´«Ã½ XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads on their race bikes

Russell Brook and the Brook-Built racing team have been busy across UK competing at various motorcycle race meetings, includingÌýthe NLR 750km Endurance Race at Donington Park Circuit, theÌýBarry Sheene Classic at Oliver’s Mount and the Isle of Man’s Southern 100 event.

The outfit continues to use 91´«Ã½ Racing’s XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads during his competitive outings.

We next caught up with Brook off the back of the BHRC Darley Moor race in Derbyshire, where more podiums were clinched after impressive rides on a classic Honda CB350 K4.

You can read how the weekend panned out in Russell’s own words below…

“Brook Built Racing competed at the British Historic Racing Club meeting at Darley Moor on 18–19 July aboard the A Read Associates Ltd. Honda CB350 K4.

“This was a late change to our racing programme. Our original plan had been to compete at Scarborough on the SuperTwin, but following the incident at the Southern 100, the bike required more extensive repairs than initially anticipated. Rather than compromise the preparation, we elected to switch our entry to Darley Moor and focus on the Honda CB350.

“Darley Moor is a circuit I have very limited experience of, having only raced there once previously in 1993. With minimal recent track time, the weekend became one of steadily building confidence and improving pace.

“A special thank-you goes to Grahame Collinge for his invaluable support throughout the meeting, and to Andy Read for both his assistance in the paddock and the opportunity to race the Honda.

“As is often the case with classic machinery, reliability became part of the story. In Race 1, while running in a strong third place, a spark plug worked loose, causing the engine to run lean and ultimately melting the plug. Although disappointing, it was encouraging to know we were already running at the front of the field while still learning the circuit.

“With replacement spark plugs sourced by Andy, Grahame and I completed a trackside thread repair to get the bike back into action. It was far from an ideal paddock repair, but it enabled us to continue the meeting and gather valuable championship points.”

“The remainder of the weekend showed consistent progress:

“Race 2: 3rd in class, 5th overall, while improving lap times by approximately two seconds.

“Race 3: Another 3rd in class, closing significantly on the race leaders and finding a further two-second improvement.

“Race 4: Our pace earned a front-row start in P3. A close four-bike battle for the lead developed between two 350s and two 500s, producing some excellent racing. We finished 2nd in class and 3rd overall, crossing the line just 1.5 seconds behind the winner.

“To improve by around four seconds over the course of the weekend, despite limited circuit experience and overcoming mechanical issues, was an encouraging result and demonstrates both the potential of the Honda and the continued progress of the team.

“Our focus now turns to preparations for the Classic TT, where I will be making my debut while competing on both the A Read Associates Ltd. Honda CB350 and the OC Graphics Kawasaki ZX400.

“Finally, thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters. Your backing allows us to continue competing, developing the bikes, and representing your businesses at race meetings throughout the season. Your support is genuinely appreciated, and we look forward to updating you again after the Classic TT.�

The seven racers secured crucial points in the fourth round of 2026

The Yamaha GV Racing outfit currently supports seven motorcycle racers that are taking part in the FIM JuniorGP – the exciting series that spans Italy, Portgual and Spain.

Backed by Yamaha itself, as well as 91´«Ã½ Frenos (Spain), the team’s racers are proudly using 91´«Ã½ Racing’s GPFAX brake pads and X-Series floating discs for the season.

We previously caught up with the team following the first round of the year at Estoril. Next, we dropped in after the most recent round at Nevers Magny-Cours Circuit in France. You can read how it panned out in the team’s own words below.

“GV Racing has just competed in Round 4 of the FIM MotoJunior™, held this weekend at the Nevers Magny-Cours Circuit, after an intense day of racing in the Moto2 European Championship and Stock European Championship categories.

“In Moto2 European Championship, Marcos Uriarte played the two races of the weekend. In the first round he crossed the finish line in the 25th position, while in the second race he managed to finish in the 22nd position, completing a weekend in which the rider and the team continued to work to continue evolving and accumulating experience in a top-level category.”

“In the Stock European Championship, Blai Trias starred in a solid performance, ending the race in a meritorious 6th position, adding an important result for the team after staying throughout the test fighting in the leading group.

“For his part, Jordi Losada managed to complete the race in the 19th position. After the fall suffered during Saturday’s qualifying session, the GV Racing driver returned to the track with the aim of finishing the race and continuing to add kilometres and experience in a very competitive category.”

Statements by Rafa García – Team Manager

“We ended a weekend of hard work in which the team has not stopped fighting at any time. Marcos has continued to grow in Moto2 and has completed two races that will help him continue evolving. Blai has had a great race getting a very worked sixth position, while Jordi knew how to overcome Saturday’s fall to finish the test and continue adding experience.”

“I want to thank the effort of the whole team during these days at Magny-Cours. Now it’s time to analyse everything you’ve learned, continue working and prepare for the next championship appointment with the illusion of continuing to grow and fighting for better results.”

“With this result, GV Racing closes its passage through Magny-Cours with valuable information to continue developing the sports project before the next appointment of the FIM MotoJunior™, where the team will compete again with the same ambition and commitment that characterises it.�

Russell Brook and the Brook-Built racing team have been busy across UK competing at various motorcycle race meetings, including:Ìýthe NLR 750km Endurance Race at Donington Park Circuit and the Barry Sheene Classic at Oliver’s Mount.

We next caught up with Brook following the much-loved Southern 100 event back on the Isle of Man, where some setbacks didn’t deter him from achieving great finishes.

The outfit continues to use 91´«Ã½ Racing’s XC-Series discs and GPFAX pads during his competitive outings. You can read how the above races panned out in Russell’s own words below…

“What a week of racing at the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man!

“The weather was kind to us for most of the event, but as anyone involved in road racing knows, there’s always something that tests you along the way.

“This year I competed in two middleweight classes, the SuperTwin and the Supersport, giving me plenty of track time and valuable opportunities to build confidence and improve my pace around the Billown Course.

“Monday evening’s practice went exactly to plan. I completed two sessions on the Supersport and one on the SuperTwin, improving my lap times every time I went out and getting both bikes working well.”

“Tuesday evening proved to be much more challenging. The plan was to complete two SuperTwin sessions before finishing with the Supersport, but after just two strong laps on the SuperTwin I was unfortunately taken out by another rider at Balabeg.

“A huge thank you to all the marshals, medics and spectators who looked after me. From making sure I was fit to continue, arranging transport back to the paddock, and even providing cold drinks and phones so I could let the team know I was okay, the support was incredible. Moments like this really highlight what makes the road racing community so special.

“The incident created a race against the clock. The SuperTwin required significant repairs, there wasn’t enough time to prepare for the final practice session, and I had to sit that one out. Thankfully, Monday’s pace had been enough to secure qualification, putting me 22nd on the SuperTwin grid and 21st for the Supersport B Race.

“After a late night in the paddock, the team worked tirelessly to rebuild the SuperTwin and have it race-ready for Wednesday evening.

“Starting from around two-thirds down the grid made clean getaways difficult in the mass starts, but both races were encouraging. I finished 20th in the SuperTwin race and 17th in the Supersport race, while finding around four seconds per lap compared with my qualifying pace on both machines.

“Thursday brought the main race day, beginning with the Supersport B Race before the SuperTwin feature later in the afternoon.”

“In the Supersport race I maintained my position throughout much of the race, improved my lap times again, and crossed the finish line in 20th after another strong performance.

“Later, on the SuperTwin, I made what felt like my best start of the week, gaining several places in the opening laps while continuing to reduce my lap times. It felt like my strongest ride of the meeting, so I was a little surprised to finish 21st, but the overall progress made throughout the week was hugely encouraging. Every outing brought faster lap times, giving us a solid platform to build on for next year’s event.

“A massive thank you goes to everyone who helped make the week possible. Grahame Collinge, who worked tirelessly to keep both bikes fuelled, prepared, through scrutineering and on the grid every session. Andy Fenton, for your endless support and invaluable local knowledge throughout the week. And my teammate Ben Long, for all your help and encouragement both on and off the track.

“I’d also like to say a huge thank you to 91´«Ã½ for providing the confidence and outstanding stopping power needed to push hard around the Billown Course, and to Aztec Oils for supplying products that kept both bikes running reliably throughout a demanding week of racing. Having dependable equipment makes a huge difference at events like this, and I’m incredibly grateful for their continued support.

“Road racing is never straightforward, but after overcoming Tuesday’s setback, rebuilding the bike and continuing to improve every time I headed out, I’ll take plenty of positives away from this year’s Southern 100.â€�

Morgan Creasey uses 91´«Ã½â€™s GPFAX pads and X-Series floating discs

Spalding-based motorcycle racer, Morgan Creasey, is currently competing in the British Motorcycle and Racing Club (Bemsee)’s Thunderbike Sport and Thunderbike Ultra classes on his various Suzuki superbikes.

He continues to run 91´«Ã½ Racing’s GPFAX motorsport brake pads and X-Series floating brake discs on both motorcycles as he campaigns through the year.

Following more podiums at Cadwell Park, we next caught up with Creasey after his latest round at Snetterton, where more podiums were achieved in another successful weekend.

Read how it panned out in his own words below…

“Finally, a weekend to smile about!

“100% race completion, some decent results, and most importantly, confidence back on the bikes. Hopefully we’ve finally turned a corner.â€�

Qualifying (Starting P4)

“Throughout the weekend, I struggled with the brakes overheating and the pads glazing, but this was the first time I’ve properly raced the 750 without any mechanical issues.:

Race 1

“A solid race, but I couldn’t quite stay with the riders ahead. Finished P4.â€�

Race 2

“I got a great launch before a red flag brought the race to a halt. On the restart I made another strong start and stayed with the leader, but just didn’t quite have enough to make a move. Finished P2.â€�

Race 3

“Another great start saw me lead into Turn 1. I expected the 1000cc bikes to out-drag me down the back straight, but the 750 held its own. By lap 3 the brakes were becoming a real struggle, but thankfully I’d built enough of a gap to manage it. Finished P1.â€�

Race 4

“As I was still struggling with the brakes, we swapped them over before the final race, which made a huge difference. Another strong start saw me battling with Tyler for the opening laps, swapping positions several times before I finally took the lead. From there I pushed on and took the win by 9.185 seconds.

“I always believed the 750 could be competitive in Thunderbike Ultra, but coming to Snetterton with its long straights, I expected the 1000s to have a clear advantage. I’m really pleased to have been proven wrong – the bike was more than capable of holding its own.

“Overall, I’m really happy with how the weekend went. It was great to feel confident again and to come away with consistent finishes, podiums and a pair of wins.

“Now it’s on to Donington Park on 25th & 26th July.â€�
