Andrew Smyth uses ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ’s braking components on his Kawasaki race bike

Northern Ireland-based Andrew Smyth of the Andrew Smyth Racing outfit has successfully competed in BSB’s Superstock 600 series for the last few years.

Riding on a Kawasaki ZX6R 600cc superbike, Smyth uses ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Racing’s GPFAX sintered motorsport brake pads (up front) and HH sintered brake pads (on the rear), as well as X-Series floating discs.

As well as the first few rounds of BSB, Smyth has also been competing in some guest series for the first half of 2024, not least in the Ulster Superbike Championship.

The fourth round of this particular series took the roadshow back to Kirkistown Racing Circuit, where Smyth pulled another overall podium out of the bag following a fantastic weekend’s racing action.

Read how he got on below in his own words…

“I recently took part in the fourth round of the Ulster Championship at Kirkistown.â€

Qualifying:

“I ended up qualifying on the front row of the grid in 4th position; whilst I was happy with a front-row start, I wasn’t really feeling very comfortable on the bike so we made a few changes for the first race.â€

Race One:

“I got a great start and was able to go with the front guys, still wasn’t getting the feeling I was used to from the bike, but was very happy to bring it home in 3rd.

Race Two:

“We made some more changes before the start of the race, got off to another great start and this time the bike felt like my own, I crossed the line in 4th position to give 3rd overall on the day, so all in all a good day at the office.

“Massive thanks to the Belfast & District Motorcycle Club Limited, Scrutineers, Marshalls and first aid for a very well run event.

“Thanks as always to the guys that keep the wheels turning.â€

The ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ-equipped racer is warming up for another BSB season

Northern Ireland-based Andrew Smyth of the Andrew Smyth Racing outfit has successfully competed in BSB’s Superstock 600 series for the last few years.

Riding on a Kawasaki ZX6R 600cc superbike, Smyth uses ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Racing’s GPFAX sintered motorsport brake pads (up front) and HH sintered brake pads (on the rear), as well as X-Series floating discs.

During the BSB off-season, he has been competing in various races around Northern Ireland, including the first round of the Ulster Superbike Championship held at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit, Downpatrick, at the end of March, in treacherous conditions.

Directly following on from this race, it was over to Kirkistown Racing Circuit for the second round, which thankfully was set under much more favourable weather.

Andrew’s team explains how he got on here below.

Easter Monday (1 April) – Kirkistown

“I qualified in 3rd position, feeling very comfortable with my wet setup. In Race 1, I got a good start, but dropped a few positions towards the end of the race, finishing in 5th position.

“Race 2 was a similar race, with me taking 5th at the line.”

“My next outing will be Oulton Park for the BSB, in just over three weeks’ time.

“Thanks must go to both of the organising clubs, marshalls, all track personal for two very well-run events. Not forgetting Dad and Krissy for keeping the bike on point, Mum and Jodie for the catering and Ellen on pit board duties.

“Usual shout out to the people that make it happen.â€

The rider is warming up for his BSB Superstock 600 campaign with some races in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland-based Andrew Smyth of the Andrew Smyth Racing outfit has successfully competed in BSB’s Superstock 600 series for the last few years.

Riding on a Kawasaki ZX6R 600cc superbike, Smyth uses ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Racing’s GPFAX sintered motorsport brake pads (up front) and HH sintered brake pads (on the rear), as well as X-Series floating discs.

During the BSB off-season, he has been competing in various races around Northern Ireland, most recently the first round of the Ulster Superbike Championship held at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit, Downpatrick, at the end of March.

Despite treacherous conditions, Smyth put in some great riding across the weekend, as you can read below in his own words.

“The Temple Motorcycle Club hosted the first round of the Ulster Superbike Championship at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit back in March.

“Just as we had been due to go out for our qualifying session, the dreaded rain that had been forecast decided it would dampen things – it was a quick change from a dry setup to a wet one! Thanks to the team for a quick turnaround, meaning I lost no laps and ended up in P3.

“Onto the race – with a front-row position, I made a decent start, sitting in second place. The rider that was leading took a crash (thankfully he walked away) and the race was red-flagged. After a short delay, the race was restarted and I got a great start again, taking the lead, but to be honest, the conditions were not great, so I was more than happy to settle for 3rd at the line.”

“Massive thanks to all marshals and club members for trying to keep the show going! Unfortunately, due to the rain the rest of the meeting was abandoned!

“We then took a short trip to Kirkistown Race Circuit and made it our home for the next few days, getting some testing in and making improvements to my setup. I left Kirkistown happy.

“Huge thanks to all of our sponsors new and old for keeping the wheels turning!â€
