Sam Burman has taken a fine third place in both the Refined Recruitment 125GP Championship, and the Dara Brady Open 400 Championship, concluding this year’s NG Road Racing Club season. In the final round held at Thruxton, last Saturday, Burman, despite a fall in the first outing, bagged two fifth place finishes later in the day.

With Championship points determining the front row for race one, Burman made a great start, leading the chasing pack into Allard for the first time of asking. However, the lead was to be short lived as the rain started coming lightly but enought to wet the track leaving sam’s slick tyres struggling for grib as she over enthusiasticly powered round the fast right – hander at seagrave causing her to crash out of the race.

The biggest disappointment was the fact that due to her earlier mishap, Burman would start the all important points race from the back of the 35 strong grid. However, with her race face well and truly on, she was in determined mood, and picked off her rivals in style to take the chequered flag in an impressive fifth place of the 125 competitors, thus consolidating her third place in the Championship.

Happy to have rounded off the 125 series with a decent show, Burman was keen to improve on her success in the Open 400 final encounter. Riding another impressive race she took fifth position overall and was the first 125 machine home, a result that meant she had taken another well deserved third place, this time in the Open 400 Championship.

Sam Burman:

“ I suffered with the windy conditions this weekend to be honest. The rain and an eager rider caught us out in the first race which left me having to start from the back for the point’s race; I had a not too bad ride to get to 5th. I was really pleased to take 3rd in the Open 400 Championship to go with a 3rd in the 125 Championship, and I would like to thank the clubs officals and marshalls for a great year.”

Burman will be back in action for the finale of the Thundersport GB series, taking place over the weekend of 18-19 October,

during which, racing will take place at both Donington Park (Saturday) and Mallory Park (Sunday).
