Hogton-Rusling's beast in all its glory:


After Jerez's heat, the riders find themselves in england where a much lower temperature makes us forget it's still summer.


Practice 1:

350cc
First practice on dry asphalt, the tone is set, Ian Simpson keeps it steady, after his victories at Jerez, he makes the temporary pole position in front of Bertin and Hart, Hogton-Rusling settling for 6th place.

250cc
Nigel Palmer, wild card for this race, takes the pole in front of Sleigh and Rogers, Tennstadt and Auboiron closely after them.


Practice 2:

350cc
Simpson keeps the pole, this time in front of Hogton-Rusling and Bertin, Hart and Parker completing the top 5.

250cc
Palmer and Sleigh keep their position and so do the following riders, nothing seems to indicate big changes in the upcoming race.


Race 1:

The weather has worsened, and even though the rain has stopped the racetrack is still slick with water and won't forgive any deviation of trajectory.

350cc:
Great start from Bertin but he still gets passed by Simpson and ends up second in front of Hogton-Rusling, superb fight for the 4th place between Hart, Knight and Muggleton, finally won by Hart.

250cc:
Palmer wins easily in front of Roy Flower and Colin Sleigh, followed by Tennstadt and Rogers.


Race 2:

The track is dry and the temperature more temperate.

350cc:
Once again, head start for Bertin soon passed by Simpson, the race seems played out, but at the 7th lap, Knight, whose bike smokes a lot, falls in the big curve taking Simpson, Rogers and Tennstadt down with him, the latest is taken to the hospital.

The race starts again 40 minutes later for 12 laps and it's once more Bertin who takes the lead in front of Simpson and Hogton-Rusling.

Simpson temporarily takes the lead, but Hogton-Rusling passes him, Bertin, unable to follow, ends up third 10 seconds behind.


250cc
Palmer, Sleigh and Flower climb the podium in front of Keller and Auboiron.


Rendez-vous in two weeks at Cadwell Park for the last 2015 Championship's race.

The winner is not yet decided in 350 and the title will be given during that last race.

In 250, Colin Sleigh has the title but second place has yet to be claimed.
