Time for my final sponsor announcement! It could even be argued that this is the biggest sponsor of my career...

Without the Bank of Dad, I wouldn’t be racing. He’s certainly footed his fair share of the bills over the years, and I’m sure he’s glad I’m a working man these days! He’s much more than a credit card though! He’s also covered off crew chief, team driver, lunch provider, coach, and supporter. Couldn’t really ask for much more than that!

Truthfully, I wouldn’t be here, embarking on an awesome adventure like this if it wasn’t for his help and support from day one, nearly 22 years ago. We’ve had many great weekends on the road, and plenty of pretty special memories. Hopefully there’s a few more to be made yet!

Thanks for everything you’ve done for me dad, love ya heaps!

It’s time for another sponsor announcement, and I’m proud to welcome Beau Johnson Finance as a major partner on board for my upcoming Suzuki Series campaign in New Zealand!

Based in Hobart, Beau Johnson Finance is a proudly Tasmanian finance brokerage specialising in vehicle, motorcycle, equipment and business finance. With more than 20 years of industry experience and access to over 40 lenders, Beau’s committed to making the finance process simple, stress-free and tailored to each client. Dealing directly with Beau, ensures top notch honest advice, personalised service and a connection that helps fellow Tasmanians achieve their goals.

As with several of my major partners, what makes this partnership special is that Beau understands motorsport firsthand. As a successful racer himself, albeit on four wheels instead of two, he knows the commitment, hard work and support that goes into chasing results on the track.

Thanks Beau, for jumping onboard this season! I’m very grateful to have your support, and hopefully we can work together to achieve great things! If you’d like to find out more about Beau, he’s got a website at: beaujohnsonfinance.com.au

It’s time for another sponsor announcement, and I’m proud to welcome Launceston Roof & Gutter on board for my upcoming Suzuki Series campaign in New Zealand! 🔥

Based in Northern Tasmania, Launceston Roof & Gutter brings more than 30 years of experience to the roofing industry, providing professional roof repairs, roof replacements, guttering, fascia replacement and maintenance services across the state. Their focus on quality workmanship and long-term protection has helped them build a strong reputation for delivering reliable results in Tasmania’s tough weather conditions.

A large part of success in racing comes down to having the right people in your corner, and I’m incredibly grateful to have the support of a business that understands the value of hard work, consistency and doing the job properly. For those of you that have met Don at the race track, you’d know that he’s not shy to have a crack at things!

A huge thank you to Don and the team at Launceston Roof & Gutter for getting behind my racing journey. Your support plays a big role in helping make this opportunity possible, and I’m looking forward to representing you proudly on and off the track!

I'm very excited to announce VEREX Tasmania this week as a major partner for my upcoming Suzuki Series campaign in New Zealand!

Based just outside Hobart, Verex Tasmania has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality Australian made motorcycle exhaust systems, combining incredible craftsmanship with a strong passion for motorcycling. From raw material through to the finished product, every system is handcrafted in Tasmania with a huge focus on fit, finish and performance.

Verex started out with exhaust modifications and fixes for riders' bikes at local track days, and now supplies riders not only across Australia but in more than 40 countries worldwide. Their dedication to supporting riders, local manufacturing, and producing products built to perform makes them a perfect fit for my racing campaign. With an exciting project commencing over winter, there'll be a perfect opportunity to showcase the quality of Verex's capabilities. Watch this space!

Thank you to Paul and the whole Verex team for the support. I’m looking forward to representing the brand and doing you proud in New Zealand!

I’m excited to unveil the first of my major partners for this campaign! I’d like to express my deepest gratitude towards Karin & Marcus at Delaney & Co. for jumping onboard this season. For those that know Marcus from the race track, the finish and preparedness of his race bikes is a clear testament to his eye for detail and thorough workmanship.

Delaney & Co is a Tasmanian building company specialising in custom residential homes, alterations and additions for more than 20 years. Backed by an accomplished team bringing a wealth of experience across residential and architectural construction, they are known for their quality craftsmanship and carefully considered approach.

Beyond the building industry, Marcus and Karin have a long-standing passion for motorcycles through track riding and competition, alongside a wider team involvement and appreciation for the sport.

With shared values around ambition, embracing challenges and pursuing something extraordinary, sponsorship for the Suzuki International Series in New Zealand is an exciting collaboration.

Time for the second instalment of my weekly sponsor announcements! Now this one is likely less of a shock to most of you… but I’m proud to announce Wolficorn Racing as the secondary title sponsor for my NZ bid!

I really can’t begin to thank Martin & Kristian enough for the opportunities they’ve given me over the last year, and to piggyback on their adventure to NZ! Wolficorn Racing was founded in 2024, in the pits, where so many grand ideas are born. Wolficorn Racing has now rapidly expanded to accommodate ten team members!

Their slogan is ‘Chasing Mediocrity’ but to be frank, they’re anything but mediocre. From putting bums on bikes locally, to supporting Dave Coward in ASBK & Kev Stephens at the Manx GP, as well as my escapades, Tassie road racing wouldn’t be the same without them.

I feel lucky to be part of the team and excited to be on this journey together with them! Bring on NZ 🚀

I’m excited to begin kicking off a series of sponsor announcements over the coming weeks, with an announcement planned every Wednesday night. Starting with the big one to get the ball rolling…

I’m incredibly proud to announce Tasmanian Motorcycle Tours and Rentals as my title sponsor for the upcoming Suzuki Series Campaign! 🔥

Locally owned and operating in Hobart, TMTR has built Tasmania’s largest motorcycle rental fleet with 29 bikes available for hire, just a short drive from Hobart Airport. Whether it’s a short ride, a full Tassie adventure, or one of their world-famous self-guided motorcycle tours around the state, they give riders the opportunity to experience some of the best roads and scenery Australia has to offer.

As a young Tasmanian road racer, it means a lot to have the support of a business that shares the same passion for motorcycles, adventure and the local riding community. I’m grateful to have the TMTR crew backing me both on and off the track this season, and I’m excited to have them as part of the team as I head overseas for my own adventure! Thanks for your help Phil, and I look forward to doing you proud in NZ!

For more information about TMTR, please visit their page, Tasmanian Motorcycle Tours and Rentals or their website TMTR.com.au.

BIG NEWS!! 🇳🇿🏆

I've been working on it in the background for a little while now, but I'm excited to announce that I'll be hopping across the pond to New Zealand to compete in the Suzuki International Series!

The Suzuki Series is a fast-paced three round series running every year through December, culminating in the famed Cemetery Circuit street race in Whanganui on Boxing Day. I've always wanted to try my hand at street racing, and I'm looking forward to giving it a crack!

I'll be racing with Wolficorn Racing in the Pre95 Junior class, on the CBR400 I've been riding recently. I'm extremely grateful for Martin Pedersen helping me fulfill some of my lifelong dreams.

Of course, racing motorcycles internationally isn't a cheap endeavour. I've done my best to budget the trip and save money where possible but I'll still require some help to get to New Zealand. I'm on the hunt for partners who'd like to be part of this journey. I'm hoping to deliver more content and engagement, beyond just what's happening at the race track.

I've put together a brief sponsorship prospectus (attached) outlining some packages. A few spots have already been filled, and I'm incredibly grateful for the early support. That said, I'd love to have a chat with anyone interested and work out what I can do to deliver what you need and make you feel like part of the team. Feel free to reach out to me directly or tag someone who you think might be interested!

Round 1 of the Tasmanian Road Racing Series was this past weekend at Bulk Nutrients Baskerville Raceway. I decided to throw my hat in the ring and entered the potent Wolficorn Racing CBR400 in Formula 3 & Pre-2000 Under 500 classes.

I’ve got a bit of testing to do, with some kinks to be ironed out before some very exciting racing later in the year. Hopefully I’ll be able to share some details of my plans shortly!

Qualifying went well, with pole in both classes, including a PB for the CBR of 57.5. I went on to win the first F3 race, maintaining the pace I had in qualifying. However, when returning to the pits Chloe noticed a sizeable amount of water spewing from the bike. Unfortunately due to clearance issues, the front wheel had punched a hole in the radiator late in the race. The decision was made to call it a day, with no races run in Pre-2000 and just the one in F3.

Despite the result, and the implications for the championship, there are stacks of positives to take away from this weekend, and plenty more time on the table! Looking forward to getting back out there, and finding some more speed. A big thanks to everyone who helps me get to the race track every weekend!
