Bobby Varey is competing in BSB’s ROKiT OFF BMW F 900 R Cup
Preston-based Bobby Varey is currently competing in BSB’s ROKiT OFF BMW F 900 R Cup, entrusting EBC Brakes Racing’s GPFAX motorsport brake pads on his German race bike.
The latest round of the season to the one-make series to Derbyshire’s Donington Park, where a promising start ended in a dramatic off for Varey during Sunday’s racing action.
Read how it panned out in his own words…
“Friday started off strong with a P4 finish in Free Practice 1, followed by an even better result in Free Practice 2 where we secured Pole Position. Qualifying wrapped up the day with a P2 finish, just 0.07 seconds behind Nikki Coates, which placed us into Heat 2.”
“Saturday’s Heat Race 2 was a good race from start to finish coming out on Pole giving us confidence heading into Sunday’s main race. Drawing out the top 6 from each heat placing me 2nd on the grid for Sundays race.”
“Unfortunately, Sunday didn’t go as planned. During the warm up lap Scott Carson crashed at the bottom of Craner Curves directly in front of me, and despite my best efforts to avoid the incident, I sadly collided with him. This meant we were unfortunately unable to continue with the race.”
“A disappointing way to end the weekend after such a positive start, but we’ll regroup, rebuild, and come back stronger for the next round. Thank you to everyone for the continued support — it means a lot.
“Wishing Scott Carson a speedy recovery.”
