Thundersport GB made it’s way to Mallory Park in Leicestershire this weekend where the rain was well and truly pouring for most of the weekend’s racing. With a good start to his weekend’s racing, Matt Pearce was making his way through the pack in his first race moving up to 15th position overall when he caught a white line and crashed out.

Sunday, however, turned out to be a better day for Matt in the Formula 600 with an excellent 8th position finish in the first race and a 9th position in the second.

Matt Pearce had another good weekend of racing in beautiful sunshine at the Leicestershire circuit this weekend. After a 17th position finish on the Saturday, he went on to finish Sunday’s races with great 11th and 12th positions. With this weekend’s valuable points added onto his total, Matt is now 11th overall in the championship.

Mixed fortunes for HPR Riders Luke Hill and Leighton Holmes, who were taking part in the South West Premier Motocross Championship last weekend. Hill had a brilliant start to the weekend, qualifying on pole position, while team-mate Holmes qualified in 11th. The first race resulted in ankle injuries for both riders, with Holmes retiring from the weekend’s racing, and Hill pushed down into a 3rd position finish – but it didn’t stop him as he went on to get two 7th position finishes. This meant Hill completed the weekend in 3rd position overall, a great start to the 2012 season!

Also racing with Thundersport GB at Brands Hatch last weekend was Chris Pope, riding for AFB Racing. Chris took part in the Morello Services GP1 class, and after a tough start on Saturday he finished the first race in 21st position. The worsening weather on Sunday seemed to play in Pope’s favour though, as he completed the weekend with 6th and 5th positions respectively in the second and third races. These results put Chris in a great 7th position overall in the championship.

The 2012 Thundersport season kicked off at the Kent racing circuit this weekend, where changeable weather provided some interesting racing and mixed results. In-house rider Matt Pearce was there, competing in the the RLR Motorsports Formula 600 class.

After a good start to the weekend with some great practice and qualifying times on the newly adjusted bike and a greasy track, Matt was set to start the first race in 6th position. He completed the weekend with two top ten positions – 8th in his first race, and 9th in the second – and was on target for third top ten result when sleet started to fall and he unfortunately crashed out of the race. None the less, Matt is now in 9th position overall in the championship – a great start to the season.
