SPECIAL GUESTS

Simon Crafar

Simon enjoyed a fantastic career in GP500 and World Superbike including a magnificent win at the Donington Grand Prix in 1998 and 10 podium finishes in World Superbike. Since his retirement from road racing he has been involved in high level Enduro riding, where he is respected as an expert in the field, and racetrack tuition. His easy going manner and depth of knowledge have made him a student favourite. Simon proved his superhuman attributes this year – recovering almost miraculously from a severe spinal injury he sustained when hit by a car whilst Enduro riding in Romania. We’re very pleased he is fit and able to join us again.
 

Leon Haslam

Leon has wowed the World Superbike paddock this year with four podium finishes on his privateer Stiggy Honda. Still only 26 years old Leon has a massive amount of experience having raced in Grand Prix, World Superbike and BSB where only the smallest margin of bad luck prevented him from lifting the title. Son of the legendary Ron Haslam Leon has inherited his fathers coaching skills, with an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of motorcycles and racing. Friends and fans know that Leon has the talent to be a world champion yet he remains approachable and ‘normal’ producing great results with his students.
 

Eugene Laverty

Eugene comes from a road racing family, with a father and brothers all involved in two wheel activities. After debuting in national championships in 2001, and coming second in the British 125cc Championship in 2004, Laverty moved up to British Superbikes. Eugene made his World Championship debut in 2007, under the wing of the LCR 250cc Honda team. 2009 saw Eugene finish runner-up in the World Supersport championship with the Parkalgar Team.
