Ben Wilson completed the two Bennett’s British Superbike races at Donington Park in the points.

Ben Wilson had a nightmare time in qualifying resulting in a crash in the dying minutes of the final session. “I was on a quick lap and following Leon Haslam around. But the front end just tucked under at the Esses and off I came.”

 

Starting from 19^th on the grid Ben made his way through to 11^th place before being reeled in by fellow Lincolnshire rider Steve Plater. Ben completed the 20 laps in 12^th position to claim a further four championship points.

 

Race two went much the same way with Ben holding 12^th place until the final lap when Dean Ellison finally managed to get past leaving him to finish 13^th.

 

“I was battling with Danny Beaumont for a while and we went into Craner’s side by side where we high sided together and were lucky to hold it,” explained Ben. “We both lost places but I got the advantage and moved well ahead of Danny. By then two or three riders had made it past and I had to be content with 13^th at the chequered flag.”

Team manager Richard Wilson added: “Both Scott and Ben brought some valuable points back from their races and Tristan did well to move through from 25^th and work his way up to 18^th place. The pace was quick out there despite the adverse weather conditions and all three riders did well to bring the bikes back unscathed in the second race as nearly a third of the field got caught out in the damp and crashed.”

The final round of the championship will be held at Brands Hatch on October 9.
