REDHILL racer Sam Thompson has made a dream start to the season with two victories at Brands Hatch.

In the televised races on Sunday, March 17, Thompson won both Superstock 600cc class contests to lead the championship.

Riding his Hospitality Industry Training-backed Kawasaki ZX6R, the 17-year-old Bournemouth rider was up against the best 600cc riders in the country.

Thompson had finished fourth in the opening race on Saturday after a poor qualifying session that saw him start 19th on the grid out of 42 riders.
