For the third year in succession, Ian Lougher once again graced the Dundrod podium when he finished a brilliant second in the opening Superstock race at the 90th Anniversary Ulster Grand Prix. The result crowned another solid performance from the circuit and the event's second ever most successful competitor, as the vastly experienced Welshman produced no fewer than four top ten finishes with a seventh place in the first Superbike race on the Superstock Ninja ZX-10R also worthy of note.....Full Report

It was something of a mixed weekend for ILR Kawasaki at the latest round of the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship at Brands Hatch.
Victor Cox's fifth place finish was another excellent result but the Trowbridge star was frustrated during the race by a lack of front grip which hampered his push for yet another podium...... Report

Victor Cox consolidated his top six position in the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship standings with a fine third place finish in the sixth round of the series at Knockhill.
His team-mate Ash Beech also rode well and the talented rider achieved his highest qualifying place of the season so far excellent 11th only 0.79s off the pace. Unfortunately his promising ride in the race was frustrated by a broken fairing which unfortunately would cause him to retire from the race at the halfway stage.... Report

It was another solid day's work for ILR Kawasaki's Victor Cox as he
again rode well to finish 4th and 9th respectively in the latest round
of the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship at Donington Park
on Sunday.
Indeed, it was a good weekend for the team with Ash Beech scoring his
first points of the season with a fine ride to 14th in the second race
to follow on from a determined 20th place finish in his first outing of
the day.... Report

A red flag race
stoppage ended Victor Cox's chances of a possible top six finish in the
third round of the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship at
Oulton Park.
It was an eventful and spirited ride by Cox who at one
point was third in the race and in the hunt for a second successive
podium finish at the Cheshire circuit following his second place there
last July. Ash Beech
meanwhile continues to make great progress. The young newcomer to the
class was only 0.63s behind his team mate Cox in qualifying and 0.15s
behind Conor Cummins. Ash's best lap of 1:40.74s on the fifth lap of the
race was a fine effort and his first points finish is surely just
around the corner...... Report

Victor
Cox rode to a strong fourth place finish in the second round of the
Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship at Thruxton as he came
agonisingly close to a podium finish in the process.
It was once
again an impressive performance by the ILR Kawasaki teamster who is
showing excellent early season form. Also impressive is the attitude
being shown by Victor's team-mate Ash Beech. The young newcomer to the
series had only completed two laps of the Hampshire circuit before this
year's race..... Report

It was very much of case of discretion being the better part of valour as Victor Cox and Ash Beech both rode sensibly and solidly in extremely difficult conditions to finish 9th and 17th respectively in the first round of the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship at a rain sodden Brands Hatch 'Indy' circuit on Easter Monday.......

It was a busy time
in Spain at the Cartagena Pro-Test for ILR Kawasaki, with team
manager/rider Ian Lougher declaring himself more than happy after four
days of testing for the team.
Victor Cox and his new team-mate Ashley
Beech took full advantage of the test to familiarise themselves with
their latest 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R's whilst it was also the perfect
opportunity for the new and established team personnel to work together
for the first time and to get to know one another..... Report
