Ever-improving Kirton race ace Aaron Clarke is gunning for another podium finish as he heads to Brands Hatch this weekend.
Clarke, who secured his best-ever Superstock 600 Championship finish of second for draperRACING at Snetterton last time out, has finished in the top seven in four of his last five outings.
He’s hoping for more of the same as the Kent circuit plays host to round seven of the series and will be hoping to further climb the rider standings.
Clarke, along with team-mate Tommy Philp, took part in the Moto Time Attack at Cadwell Park last week and the two full days of track time will be helpful in their preparation and set up for the British Superbike round at the Lincolnshire Wolds circuit next month.
Philp will also be seeking a visit to the podium at Brands Hatch. His best finish so far this season in the British Supersport championship has been a fifth place at Snetterton and he will be looking to replicate that this weekend.
But he too has an eye on the podium and the fast, flowing GP circuit at the Kent circuit will suit his riding style.
