SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE
Following a successful 2024 campaign, Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds has been campaigning another season in the British Superbike’s National Superstock category. We caught up with Max after he’d returned to the saddle and successfully completed his first two BSB rounds of the season, as well as a guest round with NG Road Racing, where he picked up some great results after a bad injury at the start of the year.
Portugal-based Fabio Ferrinho currently competes in the Mogadouro Drag Race series in his home country. His steed of choice is a SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra – with a crucial modification of EBC Bluestuff brake pads that he’s applied – helping him to scrub off speed fast once he’s hit the finish line. With the recent big annual race event taking place, he was pleased to achieve third-in-class.
Jeremy Evans and Phil Hart are the drivers of the Semprini Racing outfit – a team that is currently campaigning a K24-engined EP3 Honda Civic Type R across both the MSV Trackday Trophy and BRSCC Supersport Endurance Championship race series in the UK. We caught up with the outfit mid-way through the 2025 season, where they’ve already encountered plenty of thrills and spills along the way, including podium finishes.
Martyn Henry is competing in the Pro class of Time Attack UK, in his heavily modified Vauxhall Astra VXR. A rocky start to the season was followed by a more promising round at Brands Hatch recently. The latest round took the roadshow to Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit, where more gremlins reared their head for Henry – but this didn’t stop him taking a podium finish thanks to some fantastic driving.
Luke Arpino of the RAF is currently racing in the Armed Forces Race Challenge (AFRC) in his Mazda MX-5. For the 2025 season, Arpino uses EBC Brakes’ USR discs and Bluestuff pads in his car, with a further two class wins clinched at the most recent round at Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit, following similar success at the previous round at Donington Park.
The 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. We caught up with the team after the fifth round at Kent’s Brands Hatch circuit, where they had another successful weekend.
