Mike
Eglington has been chosen to compete in the
Triumph Triple Challenge Championship; a one-make series
and something he has always wanted to do. |
|
The Championship
This prestigious series, not only hopes to attract some
of the most gifted young riders in the country, but also
and uniquely for a series of this kind, opens the door
to some exceptionally talented but more mature riders.
Entry to the series is by acceptance only, and Mike had
to submit a racing CV and an overall summary of
championship/race results. He was accepted into the
series shortly after submitting this information.
The nature of the race series will allow riders to
display their skills on a level playing field. All bikes
will be evenly matched with strictly enforced
regulations to ensure that no rider can benefit from
performance enhancements that other riders may be unable
to afford.
The Races
All events will run in conjunction with the Bemsee
Racing Club and will feature in nine rounds of their
Club Championship. This format will include two
qualifying sessions followed by one Superpole race and
two Supersport races.
The grid will be formed of up to 38 riders at each event
as they battle for their championships over twenty-seven
exhilarating races. Each grid will be divided into two
groups with each one operating it own Championship.
Points will be awarded in each class accordingly, with
the first three riders from the Michelins Young Guns and
the Triumph Triple Challenge receiving podium positions,
as well as three overall winners from the combined
Championships.
The Prizes
Points and trophies will be awarded to the top three
finishers regardless of the overall results in each
race.
At the conclusion of the Championship prizes will be
awarded to the overall top three winners.
1st place: The race bike will be tuned and prepared to
Supersport spec by T3 Racing and Bob Farnham Tuning. The
winner will be run at MRO for a full season under the
management of T3 Racing with access and introductions to
all series sponsors. The winner will also receive an all
expenses paid trip to Michelins test track in France for
a day, where they will be taught how to evaluate tyres
on a range of bikes by Christian or Dominic Sarron.
Included in this course will be high speed machine
control.
2nd place: A brand new road going Triumph Daytona 675
plus inclusion in the above Michelin Tyre Evaluation
Course.
3rd place: A voucher for £2000.00 to spend on Teng Tools
plus inclusion in the above Michelin Tyre Evaluation
Course.
The rider with the highest number of Championship points
after 6 rounds will be given an opportunity to ride the
No2 T3/Interserve Supersport spec bike at a round of
BSS.
The Bike

The stunning Daytona 675 is the weapon of choice for the
Triple Challenge.
Each rider will be supplied with a new Daytona 675
complete with a race preparation kit (Race fairing,
footrests and exhaust can).
Tightly enforced regulations will prevent riders
carrying out any engine tuning modifications,
eliminating the high preparation and maintenance costs
borne by so many riders simply to turn up on the grid
with a competitive machine.
The motorcycles will be run in by T3 on the Dyno before
being released and power checks recorded. T3 will then
conduct random Actia checks and Dyno runs at its
discretion.
No modifications will be allowed to the machine unless
the part has been homologated for the series. |
