Disappointment for G&S Racing Kawasaki in round three of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship at Donington Park




It was a difficult weekend for Wyberton-based G&S Racing Kawasaki in round three of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship at Donington Park.

No points were scored this weekend in the highly competitive class but a strong performance came from Jorel Boerboom who was the highest placed of the three riders with a 16th and 17th place in the two races.

Starting from row six in the sprint race, the Dutch rider had a good run through the midfielders to cross the finish line in 16th place.

In the feature race on Sunday, he started from row eight and came through to finish in a strong 17th place just outside the points.

Asher Durham started race one from the 10th row and fought his way through the field to take the chequered flag in 19th position.

He once again started from the 10th row in race two and was beginning to make his move forward, making up five places on the opening lap.

On lap three, he was up to 22nd but was unfortunate to suffer a front end crash at Melbourne on lap four and his race was over.

Sam Laffins completed his qualifying for a sixth row start to the first race and made great progress up to 16th on the opening lap.

He had the pace for a points finish but it wasn't to be as he suffered a crash at Melbourne on lap four, losing the front and sliding over the grass unhurt.

Because of the non-finish, he was placed on row 13 in 37th place for the feature race and had an enormous task to make progress up into the points but he battled on to make up an amazing 18 places to take the flag in 19th position.

Team manager Tom Fisher said: "It was a difficult weekend for us at Donington.

"I think after the success of the first two rounds we have finally come down to earth with a bump.

"We just couldn't find a good setting all weekend, the hot track conditions didn't help us and we just couldn't find the pace, but we will persevere and develop throughout the season.

"Thanks to our loyal sponsors and supporters for their continued input and also to our team members who have worked tirelessly over the weekend to put three pristine bikes on the grid.

"It's now onwards and upwards to the next round at Knockhill over the weekend of June 14 and 16."
