Josh Brookes and the FHO Racing Team are gearing up for the sixth round of the Bennetts British Superbike (BSB) Championship this weekend at Brands Hatch.
Josh Brookes has gone well around Brands Hatch in the past and now he is hoping to do the same after his successful switch to BMW.
The Australian rider is currently fourth in the BSB standings and has two race wins to his name so far this season, a number that Brookes is hoping to increase this weekend. At Snetterton last time out the two-time BSB Champion finished second twice and then had to retire while leading the final race of the weekend.
With 19 wins around the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit to his name Brookes will be one of the main men to watch this weekend.
Brookes said: “Obviously I was disappointed to not finish the final race at Snetterton. For those that are interested in what the reason was, it was a sensor failure. Anyway, moving on, obviously I’ve got a great record at Brands Hatch, it’s one of my favourite circuits. I’m looking forward to getting there, particularly because we had good speed at Snetterton.
“We’d made some obvious improvements throughout the weekend, the previous two rounds, we struggled a little bit to get the bike working properly, how I needed it to, but at Snetterton, it feels like we’ve maybe made some steps that were necessary to be more competitive again.
"If that all continues at Brands Hatch and with my like for the circuit, I’m really excited about what the results could be. Let’s get there as quick as possible and see what happens!”
