Tinmouth Secures Seventh Overall in British Supersport Cup
17 October 2008
Jenny Tinmouth has completed her debut season in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship aboard her Hollins Motorsport backed Honda CBR600RR, the final round having taken place last weekend at the 1.19 mile Brands Hatch Indy circuit in Kent. Her 28th position overall and seventh in the cup in Sunday’s race, secured her a creditable seventh place in the standings for cup competitors, a pleasing result as a class rookie. However, the free practice sessions on the Friday didn’t go totally according to plan, with a new gear lever getting caught against the frame on the down shifts during the first session, meaning that she missed valuable track time whilst making adjustments in pit lane.

Jenny Tinmouth had a challenging weekend aboard her Hollins Motorsport backed Honda CBR600RR, in round nine of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Cup at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire on Bank Holiday Monday, eventually crashing out of the race whilst battling for position. The 2.18 mile technically and physically demanding circuit proved to be a real test for the Ellesmere Port rider, but after some adjustments to the suspension, she gained more confidence through the fast corners at Coppice and Charlie’s, and the quick left right flick through Hall Bends on the mountain section.

Dickinson in the Points at Mallory
01 July 2008
Truck Links Yamaha rider, Joe Dickinson earned four valuable points at Round 6 of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship at Mallory Park today (29th June). A heavy rain shower caused dramatic scenes on the grid as the race director declared the race wet, holding the riders on the grid for 10 minutes to allow wet tyres to be fitted. Having made a flying start into eighth, Joe looked to improve on his eleventh place qualifying position. As the race progressed to a third of the way in a dryer line started to form and the full wet tyres started to go off. Joe lost his confidence in the wet front tyre and slowly started to slip back down the order to 12th to equal his season best place from Brands Hatch.

Mixed Results for AIM Yamaha at Snetterton
17 June 2008
AIM Yamaha experienced a differing set of results from the meeting at Snetterton on Sunday when Steve Plater took the win in the fifth round of the Fuchs/Silkolene British Supersport championship while Ian Hutchinson recorded a non-finish after pulling into the pits after just seven laps. The decision to switch classes for Snetterton was taken because the team had insufficient time to get the Superbike up and running after returning from the Isle of Man TT races and instead of pulling out of the meeting all together it was decided to let Plater join Ian Hutchinson in the highly competitive Supersport class.

Beech Boost for Team Appleyard/Macadam at Snetterton
16 June 2008
At the fifth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend, Team Appleyard/Macadam rider Ashley Beech put in his best performance of the season by finishing 7th in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship race. Teammate Jordan Thompson also performed well, finishing 13th in the Relentless British 125GP class to equal his best result of the season. In earlier qualifying, the team had made key changes to the geometry of Ashley’s Yamaha R6 which vastly improved the ‘feel’ of the bike and gave him more grip. This translated into better mid corner and exit speed - vital through the ultra fast corners of the Snetterton circuit. Ashley eventually qualified in 8th place, just 0.6 seconds off the pole time, earning him a second row grid position.
