TAUNTON motorcycling ace Matt Pearce is busy gearing up for his season finale at Mallory Park this weekend.
Pearce is competing on a Kawasaki ZX6R in the Sportsman Elite (Formula 600) at ThundersportGB. He finished the championship last year in sixth position and was looking to build on that success in. Despite having made huge improvements this year and bringing his lap times down to very competitive levels, reliability and the costs of keeping the bike running with such issues have meant he has missed three rounds.
After Donington Park he is now lying eighth in the championship.
He said: “Considering the difficulties I have had this year I am pretty happy with that, even though its not quite where I had hoped to be.”
