Inzane carried the logos of the UK's only domestic bioethanol manufacturer, British Sugar, at the Oulton Park BMCRC meeting in June. British Sugar manufactures 70 million litres of bioethanol per year at its Wissington Factory in Norfolk . Proving that the fuel is an excellent fuel component as well as being cleaner and greener than fossil fuel, Russ Joyner delivered a close fought second and a third in the minitwins.

....but it was close! Russ Joyner finished fourth in the first Minitwins race at Brands Hatch, putting him on the front row for the second race which turned out to be the closest race of the meeting. Glynn Davies and Dan Hopkins battled for first place throughout the race, with Glynn finally pipping Dan at the finish by less than 0.1s. Unfortunately for Glynn, Russ had slipstreamed him out of Clearways, crossing the line 0.04s ahead to take a memorable win!

A windswept and rain-lashed Snetterton meant that Russ, the bio Ducati and the team's championship aspirations all took a real battering with a couple of crashes and no points on Saturday. Lots of graft, glass fibre and gaffer tape got us back out on Sunday with Russ coaxing the bike round for an 8th and a 5th.

Can we get it sorted for the Brands Centenary meeting on April 18th or will the Laverda be back......?

New leathers from Crescent Performance and a well executed custom helmet from BLD Group gave Russ Joyner a new look as he piloted the Inzane Ducati to two podiums at the opening Brands Hatch round. It all looks good for the season: judge for yourself by clicking the picture:

In a tough weekend's racing Russ Joyner secured third in the BMCRC Minitwins championship. Russ hounded the Team Diablo 666 bike of Piers Hutchings all the way; scoring three third places behind Piers in the first three races, but it nearly all slipped away in the fourth and final race of the weekend in a dramatic twist.
In this, the final race of the championship, Russ snapped his gearlever on a kerb during lap two. It was really gritty riding to hang on (shades of Rossi at Assen this year) and still finish 5th; just enough to give Russ, bioethanol and Team Inzane a well deserved 3rd place in the Championship. Phew!
