Solid Results for Andrews
3 Days ago
The Lloyds British Jentin Racing secured some solid results this weekend at Mallory Park, rider Simon Andrews gained two strong seventh places finishes in the sixth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. At one stage in race two Andrews was battling hard with the factory riders for a good podium position. The 25-year-old qualified in 13th position on the grid, it was a dramatic qualifying session for Andrews as he was shown the black and orange flag mid way through qualifying and the youngster was forced to pull in, which lost him valuable track time. On the small 1.4-mile circuit it is difficult to get a clear track during qualifying and this set back lost Andrews vital time. After checking the bike thoroughly no problem was found and Andrews continued with his challenge for a good grid position.

Rutter Takes First Victory in Over Three Years
6 Days ago
Michael Rutter powered in a popular victory in a dramatic sixth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship as he headed off the challenge of runaway series leading Shane Byrne in a rain affected second race at Mallory Park. Earlier in the afternoon the Airwaves Ducati rider had taken his eighth victory and he was not too concerned about having to settle for second best to his North West 200 Ducati rival who had gambled correctly on tyre choice. Rutter, regarded as something of a circuit expert, decided that the rains had passed and the Leicestershire track would dry – he opted to run on slick tyres and that decision was a winner as a dry line quickly developed.

Camier & Byrne, in Spectacular Style, Take The Victories
15 June 2008
Leon Camier enjoyed maiden race winning glory in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship in the first race of the fifth round at Snetterton but his Airwaves Ducati team-mate Shane Byrne headed him off with a spectacular ride in the difficult wet conditions of the second race. Byrne, who had missed out on victory in the opener by a split second, had it all to do next time out after Rob Mac Racing Yamaha rider Karl Harris had high-sided off right in front of him on the opening lap, forcing the Ducati rider to stop and take avoiding action of the stricken rider.

Stunning Results for Andrews
28 May 2008
Simon Andrews of the Lloyds British backed Jentin racing team rode two incredible races at Donington Park and scored his first double finish of the 2008 season. After a heavy crash during qualifying the 25-year-old knew he would have to face the pain barrier after being left in 24th position on the grid. The youngster then followed up with a fantastic 10th and ninth place respectively in the two 20-lap Bennetts British Superbike races. Andrews who for a variety of reasons has not been able to show his true form this season, certainly managed it in style at Donington, a circuit which he has never ridden before on a Superbike machine. In the horrendous wet weather conditions on qualifying day at the 2.5-mile circuit, Andrews crashed heavily at Starkey's Bridge damaging his shoulder and thumb.

Tough Weekend for Jentin Racing
13 May 2008

Having qualified in seventh place at the opening round he was promoted to sixth on the grid after Karl Harris was missing due to injury.

Byrne Sets Early Standard In Free Practice
04 April 2008
Shane Byrne headed off the determined challenges of Leon Haslam in free practice ahead of the Sunday’s opening round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit. The two riders duelled for top spot, but it was Byrne, riding the all-new Airwaves Ducati 1098R, who came out on top, though by little more than a third of a second after the two 50 minute sessions.
