As some of you may know. We sponsor a couple of younger sportspersons over the year. This year, we are delighted to announce for the 3rd year running that we have once again gone with young .johnson41 who continues to impress with his dedication towards what he loves. His family is a great support to him also. Here's a brief description of what he is up to.

So because of where Max finished last year, he has to move up to the next category, which is pros. It's double the BHP of his last bike. Over winter, Max has been working hard on his physical fitness and also watching previous races back (all are available to watch on YouTube) to see how he can improve.

This year, Max is competing in both the FAB-Racing championship as well as the British Mini Bikes Championship but not before flying out to Spain at the beginning of March for some last minute training

It's Absloutly amazing stuff. There is always room for more sponsorship. Each race weekend just to compete is £150. And that's just for registration. If interested, sponsorship can be of any amount to help towards the cost of the race weekend.

And even packages to have your logo on the raceway or bike. If of any interest, please let us know, and we can put you in touch with the powers that be :)

A young lad with a dream and a passion is truly inspiring.

Good luck this season, Max, and we hope to get along to a race.

Even if you don't feel like a sponsor, you can always go along and support.
