Lee starts the season well, despite a lack of pre-season testing and comes away from the first round with maximum points.

"Despite the points haul, I'm a little disappointed with how the weekend went.. " explains Lee, " I even beat my personal best by nearly a second and set the new Supertwins lap record but felt I should have gone quicker and got a better result in the overall GP1 race. After qualifying I was certain I could get into the low 54's / mid 53's and it just didn't happen. We had major rear tyre issues the whole weekend, and I started each race with appalling starts which meant I had to battle my way through each race and never really got a good string of clear lap times."

"Still we did the business in the Supertwins race and come away leading the championship, so I can't be too unhappy about that. Well done to Lee Powell, competing for the first time - talk about straight into the lions den! Awesome ride by Alex Heaton on a Superstock 1198S, Scot Adam was always in the mix, and a great ride from Les (despite being knocked off in the last race) considering he hadn't done any testing before the weekend.

"Thanks again to the team, and all my friends who came to support - Roll on Donington Park - Hoping to have the setup issues resolved before then!"
