Brett Sampson, the Plympton racer had a successful weekend at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire, (28/29 Aug.) scoring 36 points from a second and third place to go fifth in the British Superbike Privateer Championship.

In his first race he finished at an average of 82.07 mph on his GT Motorcycles sponsored Yamaha to take third spot ahead of twelve riders. His second place in race two came after beating last year's Champion privateer and he averaged 85.76 mph round the twisty, demanding circuit.

"I'm absolutely delighted with the results. They match my previous best of the season," said Brett. "The bike was performing better and with four more rounds to go I am still aiming to finish in the top three of the championship."

He is in action again at Brands Hatch, Kent, on 19th September.
