The upcoming weekend hosts the penultimate round of the 2024 Bennetts British Superbike championship, with the family-run outfit of McAMS Racing returning to Donington Park, for a promising weekend on track.

Heading into the tenth round of their 2024 campaign, the Yamaha R1-powered team and Danny Kent sit fifth in the overall championship standings, having progressed through the standings following a podium-finishing weekend last time out at Oulton Park.

As the second stop of three in the 2024 BSB Showdown lies just around the corner, both rider and team feel cautiously optimistic for a fruitful weekend at the Leicestershire venue.

Earlier in the year, the 2.49-mile circuit presented the team with a trio of positive results, having battled amongst the leading pack to end the weekend with a best-place finish of third in the final race of the weekend.

The Donington Park circuit, with its fast and flowing nature combined with heavy braking areas, plays into the characteristics of the world-renowned Yamaha R1 and looks set to provide the squad with a favourable opportunity to score an addition of podium finishes.

As the 2024 Championship drawers towards its closing stages, the McAMS-backed crew have secured a total of seven podium finishes across nine weekends of battle, mounting their most successful season in the premier class to date.

With four third-place finishes and three second-place finishes added to their BSB record this season, the search continues for both the team’s and Kent’s debut victory in the class.

With the team returning to another strong venue, hope is high that the weekend’s triple-header can host an opportunity to grasp a long-awaited top-step finish.

With just a single weekend remaining after this weekend, the team wait in anticipation for what they hope to be a positive end to a successful year on track.
