Young Talent Adam Brown Secures Breakthrough U.S. Racing Deal

Dynamic young rider Adam Brown, who recently impressed race pundits on the JDR Yamaha, now has the opportunity to further his career with ALTUS RACING at Moto-America next month.

Young star Adam Brown has taken an exciting step forward in his career. After a short break from BSB Supersport, the talented Dungannon rider made a winning return to USBK, quickly reminding everyone of his remarkable ability and determination.

Working with renowned crew chief Davy Deveney, Adam’s confidence soared. Their teamwork saw Adam nearly unseat reigning USBK SS600 Champion Korie McGreevey, then outperform former British Champion Christian Elkin (Ducati), becoming the youngest R6 Yamaha rider to beat the new-gen Ducati at Bishopscourt. After a conversation with Cahal Graham, Adam was introduced to Jeremy McWilliams at the GO Classic Festival, where he stunned the crowd by qualifying fifth and surging to a brilliant second-place finish, just2.8seconds behind the formidable Richard Cooper.

The 2023 Sunflower Trophy was held at Bishopscourt Race Circuit on 21st and 22nd October 2023 and marks the end of the Ulster Superbike Championship.

With horrendous weather stopping activities on Friday 20th October 2023 (main qualifying day) the organisers made the difficult (but absolutely correct decision) to amend the schedule, cancelling the Friday sessions and moving them to the Saturday. The Saturday’s schedule was then shifted to Sunday.

The result was two excellent (maybe a little chilly, but we can’t complain about that) days that enabled the full schedule to run and 2 brilliant days of track racing action to wind up the 2023 Season.

2023 Classic Bike Festival Ireland Review

The 2023 Classic Bike Festival Ireland ran over the weekend of 5th and 6th August 2023.

In summary, the event was exceptional.

Sunday 6th August 2023 :

I was unlucky, in that I was only able to visit on the Sunday, but the overall set up was excellent. I have also heard and read only positive things for the live entertainment on the Friday and Saturday evenings and on may arrival on Sunday I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous of all the campers and campervans that were parked up for the weekend and had had the opportunity to enjoy the previous evenings’ entertainment.

As for the Sunday event. It was great. From things getting underway at around 09:30 am there was rarely a time that there was not bikes on the circuit, and there is the secret to a good biking event – get bikes out there and keep things moving.

The only noticeable break, was for lunch, and I am a big fan of how Bishopscourt plans a lunch break, it means you don’t have to decide what session you are going to miss.

Paddock, parade laps and racing…

A quick walk through the paddock early on Sunday morning was a mixture of bikes getting prepped and bacon baps getting made. Bacon, brown sauce and fumes… What more do you want on a Sunday morning?
