Three chances for Kirton’s Clarke to race his BMW into contention

Kirton rider Aaron Clarke returns to action after a three week break to allow for the Isle of Man TT races and heads to Brands Hatch for round four of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 championship at the weekend.

With the BMW all up and running after his slip off in very wet conditions at Donington Park in the final race of three at the Leicestershire circuit last time out, Clarke will be hoping for better weather conditions at Brands Hatch.

There are three races once again, two back to back on Saturday and a third on Sunday – so there are three chances for him to get up into a point scoring position and plenty of track time for him to gain more experience on the big bike.

The timetable for the Superstock meeting is: Friday – Free practice 11.50am and 4.40pm. Saturday – qualifying 9.40am; Races one and two (both 16 laps) 1.15pm. Sunday – warm-up 9.10am; race three (16 laps) 10.55am.
