Past Masters on Motorbikes

Lavish are currently designing a small website for a friend of ours, Spencer Reeves, who is competing as a rookie in this year's Yamaha Past Masters Racing Cup (YPMRC). Billed as 'Competing on a budget - Racing to the limit' we got to see some motorbike racing action first-hand this weekend.

The boys were at Brands Hatch for the 13th and 14th rounds of the season, and unfortunately Saturday turned out to be unlucky 13 for Spencer. A blown up engine during Friday's practice session meant a hasty engine-change and a distinct lack of power when it came to race speed. That, combined with an unscheduled trip over the grass on the first race saw a 19th place finish. Unfortunately he didn't fare much better during race two, again losing speed on the straights, despite being quick through the corners.

Aside from technical troubles, we had a great day on Saturday, and were very proud to see our lovely logo loud and proud on the bike.

Spencer is scheduled for some coverage in Metro newspaper, so more when that appears. The website will be finished this week, but check out progress so far:
