The ageless Rodger Lovelace continues to impress in the No Limits Racing Championship.
The North West Kent rider had another strong weekend at Croft Circuit in Round three of the prestigious national series continuing to strengthen his position in two championship battles.
As the season heads to his home circuit this coming weekend, the 55-year-old racer is enjoying one of his most competitive seasons to date, currently sitting third in the NL Streetbike Cup Championship on 122 points after a series of consistent performances across the opening rounds.
Lovelace is also contesting the highly competitive Biker Lawyers National Endurance Championship, where he races as part of a three-man team alongside Tom Drew and Dan Brown. Following Round 3, the trio currently hold third place in the endurance standings on 45 points, keeping themselves firmly in contention as the season reaches its midpoint.
A relative newcomer to motorcycle racing, Lovelace only began competing five years ago but has quickly established himself as a respected competitor within the paddock. Since taking up the sport in his 50s, he has secured multiple podium finishes across both sprint and endurance competition, demonstrating consistent progression season after season.
One of the highlights of his racing career came at Croft Circuit, where he claimed his maiden race victory during the previous championship round. The breakthrough win marked a significant milestone in Lovelace’s motorsport journey and provided further evidence of his growing competitiveness at national level.
The No Limits Racing Championship is widely regarded as one of the UK’s leading grassroots motorcycle racing series, featuring a diverse calendar of sprint and endurance events at some of Britain’s most iconic circuits. The championship is particularly renowned as the exclusive home of the UK’s National Endurance Championship, attracting riders and teams from across the country.
Reflecting on the weekend at Croft, Lovelace said:”Croft was another important weekend for us. To leave Round 3 holding third place in both championships is very encouraging. The competition is incredibly strong this season, so consistency and scoring points at every opportunity are crucial. The endurance team has worked exceptionally well together, and we’re looking forward to building on our results as the season progresses.
“Winning my first race at Croft earlier this season was a special moment and a real milestone for me. To now be fighting near the front of both championships makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
Attention now turns to Round 4 at Brands Hatch, one of the highlights of the racing calendar. Lovelace faces a demanding schedule over the action-packed weekend, competing in four races including a gruelling three-hour endurance contest alongside teammates Drew and Brown.
With championship positions tightening and valuable points on offer, Brands Hatch promises to be another pivotal weekend in Lovelace’s quest for success in both the NL Streetbike Cup and National Endurance Championship.
