Glenn Irwin claimed the Quattro Race of Aces Trophy at Snetterton last year and as the Bennetts British Superbike Championship returns this weekend (June 20/21/22), the Hager PBM Ducati rider is determined to repeat the winning performances in Norfolk.
Irwin arrives at the third round holding second in the overall standings and just 12 points adrift of Bradley Ray ahead, having claimed four podium finishes so far this season, however he wants more this weekend.
Irwin said: “Looking ahead to Snetterton obviously this year we have started really, really strong and have been consistent across the board at Oulton Park and Donington Park. What was pleasing at Donington was the fact that it was a marked improvement from last year, as we were nowhere near the pace of the OMG package last year of Kyle and Ryan, but this year we managed to be ahead. Brad won the race, I think we showed good pace to reel him in of over two seconds at a track where last year we really struggled to stay in the top four or five. So we take huge confidence from that and it bodes well going forward.
“Snetterton has been a track where the bike has always worked well and I have had a lot of success, on both Honda and Ducati, so we are fully focused on going and winning races. That being said, it’s a long championship, so we just need to keep our foot on the gas, keep applying pressure and making the most of the job we have. And by that I mean, I think making the most of it will be race victories this weekend, the team are working great, we have had some down time and now we are coming back for race victories.”
