Linxcel Seton suffer at Croft

Linxcel Seton Tuning press release 14 September 2009
Round 10 Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship - Croft


Round 10 of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship saw the Linxcel-Seton Tuning race team experience a myriad of unlucky events, which will now see the team looking for a new rider to compete aboard their Supersport machine for the remainder of the season The start of the weekend proved to be very promising, with the team welcoming their new signing, Jason O'Halloran.

Team manager, Phil Seton, said: "Jason is a really nice guy and the team were really chuffed to have such a friendly and polite rider heading the Supersport effort. He was a pleasure to get along with and we could see he appreciated every effort the team had mad to develop the bike to the level of performance it offers."

The first practice session saw O'Halloran placed 15th quickest, which was very encouraging considering it was his first outing on the machine.

The second practice didn't go as well with a technical problem forcing O'Halloran to switch to the second bike. With the number one bike repaired for the first qualifying session, things were looking good until disaster struck on his first flying lap when O'Halloran entered the left hand part of chicane and crashed. The result was a fractured right wrist that will see O'Halloran out for the rest of the season.

"It was a massive blow for both Jason and the team, "said Seton. "I would like to extend my thanks to Jason for his efforts this weekend. We all wish him a speedy recovery."

With little time to find a replacement rider, team manager Phil Seton took the decision to ride the machine in the second qualifying session himself. He said: "After much deliberation I decided to get on the grid. I had to achieve a time better than my personal best set over a year ago in order to qualify. So I gave it a shot and absolutely annihilated by PB to get on the grid in last place. During Sunday morning's warm-up session the bike was lightning quick and we put in some good times and performed really well through the speed traps."

With spirits high, Seton lined up on the grid. "I left the line to start the warm-up lap and peeled into the first corner without a problem. Also turn 2 wasn't a drama then as I turned the bike left through Chicane the back let go in a big way then gripped resulting in a massive high side."

"It's fair to say this weekend hasn't been easy, and I just want to say a massive thanks to the team, the sponsors and all our supporters. I feel privileged to be part of such a great community."

In the British Superstock 600 race, Linxcel-Seton Tuning's Nick Clark retired from the race after his machine developed a miss-fire. Some positive news, however, was that the team's young upstart, 18-year-old Josh Wainwright, extended his recent run of good form to finish in a respectable 17th position.

The Linxcel Seton Tuning team will be at Silverstone for round 11 of the British Supersport Championship on Sunday 27th September.
