I remember from racing there previously in BSB it all gets a bit hectic with lapped riders and fighting your way through them, which can be exciting. “I won my first ever road race at Brands Hatch Indy and that’s where my career started. It’s my home circuit and I’ll be there giving it my all. I’m looking forward to getting my teeth into the British Superbike Championship.” James Haydon: “I always look forward to the first race.
