Frost & Surowiak secure stunning victories at Silverstone

Two more outstanding showdowns unfold as the R&G British Talent Cup takes to the stage at the British GP.For the third time in 2024, Ryan Frost (Fibre Tec Honda – MLav Racing) claimed victory in the R&G British Talent Cup as we were treated to a phenomenal Race 1 at Silverstone. Less than half a second split the top five across the line, but it was Lucas Brown (SENCAT Talent Team / Mortimer Racing) and Julian Correa (Microlise Cresswell Racing) who bagged P2 and P3.

Frost grabbed the holeshot from P2 on the grid as a lead group of five formed at the front after the opening few laps of frantic action. Frost, Brown, Correa, Amanuel Brinton (Kovara Projects / RS Racing) and Harrison Mackay (Wilson Racing / HMR) were scrapping corner after corner, with the fight for victory going down to the wire.

Heading onto the Hangar Straight, Correa led after a brilliant move into Maggotts, but Frost grabbed a healthy dose of slipstream to carve his way into the lead at Stowe. From there, the #24 held onto the P1 baton to pocket the win by a tenth, as Brinton and Mackay were forced to settle for P4 and P5 – less than half a second shy of victory.

There was pre-race drama for Filip Surowiak (Team City Lifting / RS Racing) who had to wheel his bike off the grid just before lights out, but the #75 managed to salvage P13 from pit lane ahead of Race 2.

Race 2 on Sunday morning was an equally fascinating 10-lap battle. Filip Surowiak (Team City Lifting / RS Racing) was on pole after setting the fastest lap of the race in his Race 1 comeback, as nine riders all had a sniff of victory heading into the final couple of laps on Sunday morning.

Surowiak led onto the final lap, but Lucas Brown (SENCAT Talent Team / Mortimer Racing) pounced at Turn 3 to fire himself into P1. It was as you were on the approach to Maggotts and Becketts, as Julian Correa (Microlise Cresswell Racing) carved his way up to P2.

On the run down the Hangar Straight for the final time, Surowiak placed himself perfectly and parked his Honda into P1. The #75 fended off his rivals – despite the best efforts of Brown around the outside at Vale – to win for the second time in 2024, as Amanuel Brinton (Kovara Projects / RS Racing) beat Brown to P2. The latter and Cup leader picked up P3, while Race 1 winner Ryan Frost (Fibre Tec Honda – MLav Racing) and Correa earned P4 and P5 less than a second shy from victory.

Heading to Thruxton, Brown’s lead in the title race is now up to 25 points over Brinton. Join us at Round 6 for more incredible racing on the Road to MotoGP™!
