Donington Park National Circuit was the host for round 4 of the Cigma Racing Clubman 1000 cup. It was a bright and sunny weekend with none of the rain that showed up last time out! Qualifying got underway early on Saturday with Lee Healey setting the early pace. But, as the session drew to a […]

The team turned up early to Silverstone for Round 1 of the British Junior Supersport on the National Circuit. Thursday was a test day and as Nathan-Ellis has had limited time on the bike, it seemed like a good idea to make the most of it. The weather, unfortunately, did not agree. Lots of rain […]

The second round of the Cigma Racing Clubman 1000 Cup took place on the 8th and 9th of April at Pembrey in Wales. The BMCRC hasn’t been to the Pembrey circuit for 5 years, so everyone had a bit of a learning curve to get up to speed on the twisty track. Thankfully, good weather […]

Callie Ann McGovern joined the Cigma Racing team on Thursday, April 6th. She weighed in at 2.8 kgs and is doing very well along with both Mum and Dad. It might be a little early, but we can’t wait to see her at the track. Congratulations to Rikki and Sarah!

Last weekend Nathan-Ellis finally got to take his new bike for 2023 out on track for a test. It was a cold start at Mallory Park in Leicestershire as the Cigma Racing pits were being set up.

He’s also worked on the troublesome electrics and had the rear shock serviced. We are very much looking forward to taking delivery […]

Rikki McGovern is preparing for a busy 2023 at the track and away from it too. First of all, huge congratulations to Rikki and his wife Sarah, who are expecting a baby daughter in April. Having a new baby is obviously a pretty busy time for all involved, so that does mean that Rik’s season […]
