Peter Willis Racing

Race Weekend Done ✔️

Race 1 – P15
Race 2 – P15

Happy to come away with points in both races. It’s been a steep learning curve, but we kept progressing all weekend and there are plenty of positives to take into Donington Park next weekend.

Big thanks to Moto Twelve for all the hard work, the CFMOTO 675SR-R was faultless 👌🏻

Appreciate all the support from my personal sponsors and Lee Foreman for the help on the tools.

Straight after Donington, it was straight back on the road to Kirkistown for the USBK Easter Monday meeting. The goal here was to get some race starts and more seat time on the Moto Twelve CFMOTO 675SR-R in the Supertwin class ahead of the season.

Qualifying went well and the bike felt strong straight away, and I secured P2, just 0.6 seconds behind Christian Elkin Racing, so I knew it was going to be a close race.

🏁 Race 1

I got a perfect launch and took the holeshot into Turn 1, immediately taking the lead. The plan was clear, get to the front early and try to control the race.

Unfortunately, Christian had a small slip-off on the opening lap (glad he was okay), which left me with a comfortable gap out front. From there, it was looking like a straightforward run to the win…

…but racing had other plans.

With just two laps to go, I ran out of fuel⛽️. My dad made a rookie miscalculation in the garage 🤣 but there were still plenty of positives, the pace was strong, and the bike felt great throughout.

🏁 Race 2

Another strong start saw me take the lead again and settle into a good rhythm at the front. I was feeling confident and comfortable, able to keep pushing the pace.

After just three laps, the race was red flagged 🚩, forcing a restart.

The second start didn’t go quite as well, and I slotted into P2 behind Dean McMaster at the end of lap one. As the race developed, Christian fought his way back through, turning it into a three-way battle between us.

It turned into one of the most enjoyable races I’ve had, close, competitive, and hard racing throughout. This time, with a bit more fuel in the tank, I was able to bring it home in P2 behind Christian Elkin Racing.

💬 Overall

It’s been a really busy few days, but I’m extremely happy with how things are progressing. The Moto Twelve CFMOTO 675SR-R is proving to be a strong, competitive package, and with more seat time and experience, there’s definitely more to come.

➡️ Next stop: Mondello Park this weekend, for the Principal Insurance Masters Superbike Championship where I’ll be back out in the Supertwin class 👊
