If you go on the internet, whether you’re searching for it or not, it won’t be long before you find someone complaining about the cost of trackdays, and how they’ve never been so expensive. So I thought I’d do some digging, to see if I can find out why,... Read more
It’s 2022. A new year, a new you, and all that nonsense. This one’s going to be a good one though; the best one yet. As long as you start making plans now. What’s happening this year that’ll make it even better than last year? If you don’t know... Read more
BMW have announced they’re launching an on-track performance academy starting in Spring 2022.

We’re going on a summer holiday. And you’re invited.

After a lax servicing period and several track dates looming, we decided to treat BvG’s Fireblade to some much-needed refurbishment at JHS Racing. Brake pads needed changing (as you can see from the video), the oil needed dropping (it resembled Hulk’s jizz) and, in general, the whole bike required... Read more
