Luca Wilkinson
Round 2 – Oulton Park
“So, after the incredible (until it wasn’t) weekend at Brands, it’s been a full-on two weeks to get the bike fixed & ready for Bemsee Round 2 Oulton Park.
“We owe a massive thanks to Team NW Racing and a lot of other people for the huge effort to sort the bike – you sure are the best!
“With beautiful weather, it was amazing to be at this iconic track for Luca’s first time.
We knew we would have some teething issues with the bike having such a big rebuild, but the team worked flawlessly and by the last three sessions, we were in a good position.
“Friday Qualifying went great, finishing P8 – P3 in class.
“Race 1 – Great race with Luca taking the F400 lead and finishing P9 – P3 in class. Very happy with that, having never ridden the track before and knowing the calibre of the riders in the F400.
“Race 2 – Another great start and again fighting for 3rd, Luca finished P4 in class behind the flying Team Marshall Racing.
“Race 3 – Great start and into the class lead down into Cascades, Luca pushed hard and again managed a P3 in class behind David Lindemann and Craig Dance.
“We are so happy with the results, learning every lap, following some amazing riders who are happy to help and give advice to help Luca improve – we have to say a huge thanks for this it’s an incredible gesture and much appreciated. Each race Luca managed to close the gap to the class leaders, which is our aim this year.”

Round 2 – Oulton Park
“Qualifying – After a good practice, I was feeling good on the bike and was happy with the setup. I didn’t get out at the front, but I was still able to set my laps on my own and put it on the front row!
“Race 1 – I got an amazing start from P2 and pulled the holeshot. After leading for a few laps and setting good pace, Nathan Harrison came past so I stuck in and tagged onto the back of him, finishing P2.
“Race 2 – After a good race 1, I was hoping for the same in race 2, it was a good first half of the race starting in P2 and pulling on P3, but the second half I struggled really bad with rear grip and dropped back into p3.
“Race 3 – After a disappointing race 2, I put everything into race 3. I didn’t get a good start, dropping back to P3, so I sent it into the lead down cascades T3. After a lot of moves and close racing, it came down to the last corner. I tried to drag it to the line but missed out on P1 by 0.03 seconds.
“Overall, a great weekend of racing, time with family and friends and some of our amazing sponsors.
“Huge thank you to all of my sponsors.”
