Tyco Suzuki's Josh Brookes wants to turn his fortunes around and put one over on MCE British Superbike championship leader Shane Byrne this weekend at the Kent man's home circuit as not being able to on a regular basis is driving him nuts.

Fresh from a successful test at the Suzuka Eight-Hours, Brookes wants to break the legend that Byrne is unbeatable at Brands and then keep that pattern running for Oulton Park and Cadwell, where he is king of the mountain.

"I'm looking forward to Brands, as it's one the circuits I do tend to enjoy riding more than some of the others. I really do enjoy riding the GP circuit, especially places like Surtees at the back of the pits and up-over the rise and down into Hawthorns and Westfield," said Brookes.

"I pretty-much love riding that whole back section of the circuit that you don't normally get to ride when we race the Indy circuit. It's certainly a cool track and I'm looking forward to it.

"I want to start beating Shakey as it's driving me nuts not being able to be more competitive. Along with the team I'm always trying to find ways to improve and I'm hoping we can do that this weekend at Brands.

"Shakey has created this aura that he's unbeatable around Brands, so if I can beat him this weekend, hopefully it can break his strategy and pattern running into the next few races. Of course it's easier said than done, but that's my motivation. I want to get to Brands this weekend and start turning things around."
