Hel Motostar British Championship 2015 Oulton Park

Podium number four for Delves and solid points for injured Rendell

Stechford teenager Liam Delves produced one of his best rides of the year when he clinched his 4th podium of the year at Oulton Park. Liam qualified 6 th in the 125 GP class and finished 3rd in the race passing championship leader Josh Owens on the last lap. Liam’s rookie year is going exactly to plan. This was the second visit to Oulton this year and although the bike is still exactly the same Liam is learning to adapt himself to the proven set-up of the bike and now the results are coming. The team are very proud of Liam’s progress that will now see him ahead of several of his rivals who are in their second season of BSB racing. The team could not have asked for more from Ed Rendell. Riding with three breaks in his left gear change foot Ed despite sitting out two of the four testing sessions qualified on the second row. With the race being more laps than he had completed in each practice session Ed had to ride through the pain barrier to bring home his Banks Racing Honda Moto3 in a very brave 6th place. He only lost a few points to his nearest rival in the championship Dani Saez who finished 4th. There are six races left with a total of 150 points available so it is still mathematically possible for Ed to win the championship. Only Ed, Taz Taylor and Scott Deroue are championship contenders now. Next round is Assen in the Netherlands and although Ed will not be fully fit we know he will do all he can to score as many points as possible in his quest to finish in the top three of the Moto3 championship in his first year in the Moto3 class. Thanks to Gill Sweeney for the photos We have been unfortunate in the last few rounds to suffer crashes and technical problems that has seriously affected the seasons budget and if there is anyone able to help both Ed and the team please get in touch and thanks to those who have already dug deep to keep the team on track this year. There are 22 races in our championship this year with most of them televised both in the UK and worldwide and with the reigning champion riding with the number 1 plate on board one of our bikes this is a perfect time to think about becoming a sponsor to our team. British Superbike meetings have crowds up to 30,000 people on the day plus TV and newspaper coverage. The switch over to a Moto3 bike has been expensive and the costs are still on going but we are determined to stay at the front and desperately need more help especially during this change over year.
