Brad Ray heads to Oulton Park this weekend with everything still to play for in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship.

He is 31 points behind Kyle Ryde in the championship, but with the points ramping up, he is still in with a shout of taking his second British Superbike title, with 180 points still available, in the next six races.

The Cheshire circuit was a happy hunting ground for the 2022 champion back in May, when he claimed a victory and a third place finish on his return to the series, before kicking off his winning streak.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Ray said: “It was a mixed weekend at Assen. We were fast in Free Practice and Qualifying, so it was disappointing when the rain came for Race 1. I felt good in the wet but aquaplaned and went down.

“In Race 2, I had a couple of moments but managed to bring it home in third and gain some valuable points on Kyle. In Race 3 I lost too much time early on, and you can’t afford that in BSB. There are still a lot of points to fight for, especially with the increase at Brands Hatch, so it’s not over until it’s over.

“I’m really looking forward to heading back to Oulton Park, a track I enjoy a lot and the work we have done since then should put us in a good place. We have two rounds to go now, so it’s heating up in the championship fight, but like always I’m going to do my best job and try to win, but most importantly enjoy every lap and every race!”
