The opening day of action at Round One of the 2024 Bennetts British Superbike Championship saw McAMS Racing and rider, Danny Kent storm to a magnificent pole position ahead of tomorrow’s opening race of the year.

This evening’s remarkable effort saw Kent ride to a career first pole position start, while also taking the family-run team to a first-ever spot at the front of the grid in only their second full year in the Superbike championship.

Kent’s pole position stint in the first Superpole session of the year saw him shave over two-tenths off his fastest lap from testing, coming across the line to set an impeccable time of 1:36.609.

Prior to his lap, the session was briefly delayed due to checking track conditions following a mechanical issue for Tommy Bridewell on his Superpole lap.

The red flag incident led to a longer wait for Kent before hitting the track. Despite the added tension, he was able to bring the R1 home at the top, putting the increased anticipation to the back of his mind and completing his best lap of the weekend so far.

The opening day of the year started out strong for Kent and the team, who finished third in the standings as Free Practice 1 came to a close. A shorter Free Practice 2 session was a steady affair for the team in blue, finishing eleventh overall with his Superpole lap lying just around the corner.

An enormous sense of pride lies within the McAMS Racing by Mar-Train garage as the team head into tomorrow. With a head full of confidence in their ability to be competitive, the squad are fully focused on the opening two races of the year.
