Brad Ray is determined to be fighting for victories as the British Superbike Championship heads to Oulton Park this weekend.

The home round was a challenging one for the 2022 Champion with a fourth place finish the highlight of a frustrating weekend at Brands Hatch.

Hoping to make a return to fighting at the front, Ray enters the weekend with his sights set on hitting the ground running – carrying momentum from his set of three podium finishes at the venue at the start of the season. 

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Ray said: “I’m ready to get back to work with the guys at McAMS Yamaha this weekend. It feels strange to say we’re going back to Oulton Park already, it feels like only 5 minutes since we were there for the first round of the season!

“Since then, we’ve experienced a few hurdles which have stood in the way of the results we need, but the speed has been there, and we know what areas we need to refine.

“Last time out at Brands Hatch was a tough weekend results-wise. We’re more determined than ever to bounce back with a statement and show that we’re not out of the fight just yet. Our strength has been demonstrated in parts throughout the season so far, more specifically at Snetterton where we were able to get our first win of 2026 aboard the R1, set a new lap record, and cause some trouble at the front.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that we’re able to get back to fighting at the front at Oulton Park. I enjoy the circuit and have always felt fast there. This weekend, we’ll work in the areas needed to translate our speed into the results we’re capable of.”
