About Jamie

Date of Birth: 15/04/1990

Home town: Melton Mowbray

Motorcycle(s): Yamaha R6 | Suzuki SV650

I am a 35 year old truck driver delivering Hillary’s blinds up and down the country.
 
I got into racing at the rather late age of 25. 
 
As a family we have been motorbike enthusiasts throughout my life with my Dad racing while I was a kid.
 
Then my brother starting racing from a young age also.
 
I didn’t get round to doing my 1st track day until I was 21.
 
I did my first track day back in 2011 as a birthday present from my parents and from then on I was hooked and caught the bug.. which then led me to racing.

achievements since starting racing

2015 and my 1st race meeting was at Mallory park with EMRA. 

I took two class wins and an overall race win as a complete novice against some rather more experienced riders.

The season went well and I took a few more race wins throughout the year but a championship challenge was cut short due to a engine failure, missing two rounds that season.

2016 I competed in my first full championship with NO LIMITS in the pre injection class, running alongside the more modern 600s. 
 
Throughout the year I had some great battles and a lot of wins.
 
Most noted was a win in my first wet race at Anglesey, finishing 4th overall and lapping most of the field.
 
Unfortunately a few crashes throughout the year cost me the title,  narrowly missing out by a mere 7points at the end of the season.
2019 for this year we made a switch of machines to my trusty Suzuki sv650 and competed in the minitwins championship at Bemsee.
 
This is a full dedicated one make series which promotes talent, rather than how much money you can spend on an engine and modifications.
 
With stock bikes and limited modifications its a level playing field for everyone and a cost effective way into racing.
 
I had a few good results throughout the season, mainly finishing within the top 10, with a highlight of a 5th place at Oulton Park.
 
My season was cut short with two rounds remaining due to finances but we still managed to finish a respectable 10th in the Championship.
2022 and after a few years break I went back to where it all started at EMRA and Mallory Park.
 
I competed in the Minitwin and Pre-injection classes, giving me more track time and more races over a weekend.
 
This season was full of highs and very few lows – one small crash on the Minitwin and a few mechanicals on the Pre-injection.
 
I won the Minitwin Championship with a 100 point defecit to 2nd place, and finished 4th in the Pre-injection championship after missing a meeting or two.
 
I also took my first small step into road racing at Olivers Mount where I secured three wins in the support races on my Minitwin;  a top 10 finish in the 600B race in the dry; and a 3rd place finish in the wet.

2023 was my first opportunity to ride someone else’s bike and was a huge step forward in my racing journey.

We went racing with a new club, also with North Gloucester Road Racing Club (NGRRC), and competed in their Supertwins Championship.

Unfortunately the season didn’t last long.

We got off to a flying start with a 5th place in the dry and then two wins in torrential rain at round 1 Brands hatch.

At round 2 at Castle Coombe we had a terrible time with a crash in qualifying and then an engine letting go in race 1 – putting a end to the weekend.

Round 3 at Donnington Park with a fixed bike and riding well all weekend, it all fell apart in the last race of the weekend.

The bike cut out on the start line, unfortunately getting hit by another rider, breaking my left leg and loosing some muscle in the process.

My season was over and I had to experience a hard few months sat on the side lines.

2024 I went back on the trusty Minitwin and with NGRRC I had a hard time getting back on a bike with not being able to train through the off season due to injuries sustained in the crash.

My race starts where poor all year as I was worried about stalling again.

As the season progressed we got back to where I knew I could be, racing at the front again with some good close racing and some good results.

I finished the championship in a strong 3rd place.

This is also where my Castings Technology opportunity started with the chance to ride the Yamaha R6 my brother, Dan,  would later take to the Manx Grand Prix.

Racing back at Olivers Mount, we had some good results in the 600b races – again top 10s in the dry and a 2nd in the wet on a bike I was still getting to grips with.
