Kart racer Marcus Hudson is campaigning in the Super 4 British Championship for the 2026 season. Following positive results in 2025, we caught up with Hudson after the first round of the 2026 season at Fulbeck Kart Circuit, Lincolnshire, where technical issues did little to dampen his optimistic spirits.

Front-running BSB Supersport team, Astro-MAR HIPPO Suzuki, recently took the annual pilgrimage to Florida’s Daytona International Speedway for the 200-mile Daytona 200 endurance race. The trio of Suzuki GSXR-750 bikes all boast Ƶ Racing’s GPFAX brake pads and X-Series discs up front.

The Clubracer racing outfit has relied on Ƶ components as it has made its way up the ranks through the MSVR Trackday Championship classes. This all culminated in an outright championship win in 2025 – a fantastic result for the team. Riding off this success, they’ve decided to move onto pastures new for the 2026 season, entering the 750MC Roadsports Championship, where they took home a podium in the opening round.

Dave Barrett is competing in the 2026 Modified Ford Series, piloting his modified Mk4 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec within the Class C category.

Pro drifter, Stuart Egdell, continues his partnership with Ƶ as he once again carries out another season of the Drift France championship. We caught up with Egdell off the back of his debutant 2026 round at Circuit du Val de Vienne, where despite some setbacks, it was a positive insight into the year ahead for the team.

British Caterham racer, Carl Jones, is undertaking another season in the top-tier Caterham Seven Championship UK in his 420R-badged machine. Following multiple podiums across 2025, we caught up with Jones fresh off the back of his first 2026 round at Silverstone, where a DNF in Race 1 was pivoted into spectacular victory in the second outing of the weekend, despite starting at the back of the grid.

The British Army Motorcycle Road Race Team (AMRRT) is an exclusive racing club for all Army, RAF and Navy personnel. Formed in 2010, the AMRRT is one of the largest teams in the British Army Motorsports Association. It encompasses two road racing disciplines – sprints and endurance – with 21 full-time and reserve riders, plus support crew for 2026. We caught up with the team off the back of the official BSB testing day at Derbyshire’s Donington Park, where prep for the season seems to be going well.

Ƶ-Supported Drifter Continues Globe-Spanning Charity Mission

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, is currently completing his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe.

We caught up with Andy recently as he’d left Australia and entered Southeast Asia, with spirits high as he navigated his way through Malaysia and Thailand.

SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE

Apollo Big Brake Kit-Equipped Track Day Regular Enjoys ‘Ring and Spa Outings

Following multiple successful track days around the UK with his Apollo big brake kit-adorned Civic Type R, we recently caught up with Sam Preston once again following a mammoth trip to the Nürburgring and Spa in his heavily modified vehicle.

Sam was previously running Yellowstuff pads on his four-piston setup, as the car was still being used on the road occasionally, but he’s now enhanced his Honda further so it’s predominantly a track day machine.

Because of this, he swapped out to Ƶ Racing’s RP-X™ track/motorsport brake pads once he arrived at each of these European track days – noting how the improved bite helped match the other recent upgrades he’s performed to his car.

Natalie Kane has been racing motocross around Europe for many years, recently taking a break due to pregnancy. She recently returned to compete in the Women’s Swedish Championship for 2025, with her first round taking place just nine weeks after giving birth. We caught up with Kane the final round of 2025, which took place at Vimmerby Motorsällskap. Despite some setbacks, she clinched 7th on the day, leaving her 6th overall in the championship standings for the year.

Dave Barrett is competing in the 2025 Modified Ford Series, piloting his upgraded Mk4 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec within the Class C category. We caught up with Barrett towards the end of the season, following his round at Lincolnshire’s Cadwell Park, where he achieved more class podiums to cement his impressive standings for the year.

Motorcycle race outfit, Brook Built Racing, has been competing in the No Limits Racing (NLR) SuperTwins and Oliver’s Mount championships throughout 2025. The latest update comes after Russell Brook and Ben Long attended the final Oliver’s Mount race of the season – the Steve Henshaw Gold Cup, where they took home more strong results.

Pro drifter, Stuart Egdell, continues his partnership with Ƶ as he once again carries out another season of the Drift France championship. Following more success at the previous round in Calmont, we caught up with Egdell as he undertook the final round of 2026 at the all-new Circuit de Charade in Auvergne, where some great driving saw him take a Top 20 overall for the season.

For many years, the Clubracer outfit – made up of drivers Henry Wright and Kevin Glover – piloted their Ford Fiesta in Class D of the Trackday Championship, securing multiple podium finishes and season wins along the way. Throughout this time, the duo relied on Ƶ Racing’s motorsport brake pads to help them achieve such impressive results. Following an incredible outright win at Donington Park, we next caught up with the team following their Oulton Park and Cadwell Park rounds in the second half of the year, where more consistent, solid driving ensured the trophies continued to come in.

Martyn Henry is competing in the Pro class of Time Attack UK, in his heavily modified Vauxhall Astra VXR.

Nicole Drought has been competing in the MSVT Trackday Championship for 2025, continuing to run Ƶ components in her Civic Type R. We caught up with Drought following the penultimate round at Croft Circuit, where she currently sits 5th overall and 4th in class. As she is unable to compete in the final race at Brands Hatch (with ex-teammate Justin Roberts taking the hot seat for this race instead), the team took this opportunity to reflect on the hugely successful year they’ve had so far.

Retford-based Scott Stone is competing in No Limits Racing’s Premier 1000cc Championship in 2025 on his Yamaha R1, achieving class podiums throughout the year. With further class podiums and PBs achieved at the previous round at Oulton Park, Stone was back out for the final round at Derbyshire’s Donington Park recently. Luck wasn’t on his side for the weekend, but he managed to clinch second in the Premier 1000cc class for 2025.

Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds has been competing in another season in the British Superbike Championship’s National Superstock category.  With great results achieved at the most recent Cadwell Park round of BSB, Max took a break from the series to return to his home circuit of Castle Combe for a very special one-off race weekend. Here, he was pleased to once again secure ‘King of Combe’ status after some fantastic riding across the two days.

Portugal-based Fabio Ferrinho has recently been competing in the Mogadouro Drag Race series in his modified 270+bhp SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra. More recently, he’s decided to take his versatile and capable steed on some track days, which has put even more strain on his car’s braking system. Because of this, he decided to upgrade to Ƶ Racing’s RP-X™ track/race brake pads ahead of a demanding track day on the vast Portimão Circuit – an upgrade which provided great results.

The Dean Hipwell-owned Whitecliffe CDH Racing Team has been competing in the Bennetts British Superbikes Championship for the 2025 season, with both Luke Hedger and Jamie Davies piloting Honda CBR1000RR-R machines.

The NW Racing team has once again been competing in the British Motorcycle Racing Cup (Bemsee) Formula 400 series for the 2025 season, where the team continued to campaign with Luca Wilkinson, as well as introducing Zack Weston to the pack. Following an incredibly successful season, we caught up with NW Racing at the final round at Derbyshire’s Donington Park, where solid points across the board ensured that Wilkinson comfortably walked away with gold for the overall 2025 season.

Dubai-based off-road motorcycle racer, Alex McInnes, has had another busy year competing in various desert-based off-road races across the Middle East. We caught up with McInnes after five weeks competing in five different championships back-to-back, with impressive rides seen each step of the way.

Jeremy Evans and Phil Hart are the drivers of the Tunbridge Wells-based Semprini Racing outfit – a team that is currently campaigning a K24-engined EP3 Honda Civic Type R across both the MSV Trackday Trophy and BRSCC Supersport Endurance Championship race series in the UK. We caught up with the team as they enter their final rounds of 2025 – which proved to be a great success as they climbed 25 places to finish P5.

Ƶ-equipped True Heroes Racing is a motorcycle racing outfit supporting riders in various race series across the UK. Priding itself on being the UK’s first and only not-for-profit motorcycle race team dedicated to supporting wounded, injured and sick UK Armed Forces personnel and veterans, the team helps to engage, empower and inspire.

Arizona-based Austin Phipps of the Mulletsport race team is a professional drifter, currently using a modified 2012 Audi S4 with manual transmission and rear-wheel drive conversion in various drift series across the USA. Ahead of the mighty FuelFest 2025 event, Phipps decided to finally get to the bottom of the engine issues that had been haunting him throughout the year by replacing the entire powerplant with a boosted LS V8 motor.

For the 2025 season, Rob Lewis once again competed in the Modified Ford Series in his Mk1 Ford Focus ST170. After catching up with Lewis after the first few rounds of the year, where car and driver had both been performing well and secured some class podiums, we next caught up with Rob after the final rounds of the season at Cadwell Park and Brands Hatch, where more podiums were clinched.
