The G&S Racing Kawasaki team was joined by Kevin Van Leuven at weekend for a one-off ride in the British Supersport Championship race at Thruxton.
The Dutchman rode to a brace of 17th places, while Tom Fisher had an eventful two races in the Stock 1000 to finish both outside of the points.
Fisher rode well during the qualifying session and secured a place on the fifth row of the grid in 14th place for the start of the Thruxton 50 race, which was originally due to be run over 18 laps but was reduced to 17 after concerns the fuel would be running low.
As the Thruxton 50 race got underway Fisher dropped a couple of places to 16th, then on lap three he was demoted another lap by Lewis Rollo.
As the race progressed Fisher was involved in a six-rider battle for position, but although he was always in contention for a 15th-place finish to his race he just could not make a pass stick and ended the up in 20th.
Starting the second race from the ninth row, Fisher was running in 24th place when the race was red flagged because of a tragic accident that led to the death of King’s Lynn racer Mark Fincham.
A lengthy delay followed and at the restart the race was run over just eight laps. It was never going to be easy for Fisher being that far back on the grid and a near impossible task to get up into a point scoring position.
But he gave it his best shot and although he was unable to make much progress he completed the race with no further issues.
Meanwhile, Van Leuven made a welcome visit to Thruxton for the British Supersport races.
He qualified in 21st place and began the short sprint race on Saturday from an eighth row grid position and made progress through to finish in 17th position.
He began the 12-lap feature race on Sunday from the seventh row and again made good progress through the field picking up two places on the final lap to take the chequered flag in 17th place once again.
The next round is at Cadwell Park on August 20.
