Jesse Trayler delivered a strong performance at Brands Hatch last weekend at the second round of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship to score a sixth place finish and move up the order in the standings.

Trayler had made a solid debut at the Donington Park season opener, but as the team and the Essex youngster clocked up more laps after a lack of pre-season testing, the improvements continued during the weekend.
The steps forward put Trayler in a position to improve his pace, qualifying in tenth place before carving his way up the order in the race to finish in sixth place.
Trayler said: “The weekend instantly got off to a much better start for me compared to the first round at Donington Par two weeks ago - we were in the top 10 all weekend and never far off the pace at the front.

“The race started brilliantly from tenth place on the grid and I was up to fourth place after a good start. I just really wanted to soak it all up in the race, being amongst some really good riders, and hang with the lead bunch for a while without doing anything too silly.
“We came away with a sixth place and some more solid, consistent points. It has also bumped me up into sixth in the championship standings now too which I am pleased with ready for round three. We now need to keep chipping away and keep edging closer to the front.
“I also want to say a massive thank you to my MSS Colchester Kawasaki team and especially to Nick Morgan.”
The second round of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship takes place at Oulton Park, Cheshire on 2/3/4 May.
