TSS Racing News is back with Jimmy

Round two of the AMCC Club Champs was raced under perfect blue skies at Hampton Downs last Sunday. TSS Motorcycles supported riders all had a great day and enjoyed some thrilling bar-to-bar racing.

Keiran Mair double-classed, in his usual Formula 2 class aboard his KTM RC8 C and testing his brand-new Triumph Daytona 660 in the Sport Bike class. The decision to race the Triumph was made at the last minute following a successful test only the day before and the results were encouraging. Despite the bike not yet being fully set up for racing, Keiran managed to qualify 4^th  amongst the 32 strong field and complete all four races in 4^th place with some great battles along the way.

In Formula 2 a small technical issue meant he had to qualify on the Daytona amongst Formula 1 and Formula 2 spec bikes. Despite being up to 100hp down on the surrounding machines, Keiran qualified 18^th out of the 30 entries, 8^th of the 15 F2 bikes. During the four races Kerian managed to move forwards substantially in each, finishing 13th, 13th, 9th and 12^th overall and recording 5^th, 5^th, 3^rd and 4^th in class to gain 3^rd overall for the day.

Nixon Frost stormed his way to qualify 2^nd in the Sport Bike field on his Suzuki GSX-8R and despite an unfortunate DNF in Race 1, he was the only rider able to challenge class winner Cameron Leslie all day. The pace between these two was frantic all the way to the line with Nixon finishing 2^nd in each of  the remaining races.
