Suzuki GSX-Rs win at Whanganui SBK
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Sloan Frost celebrated a breakthrough moment in his career when he won the 2015 edition of the popular #suzukiroadraceseries at #whanganui, #newzealand at the weekend.
Frost, from Wellington, finished second and third in his two Formula One Superbike class races aboard his MC2 #racing Fujitsu TSS Red Baron #suzuki GSX-R1000, which was enough for him to win his first major Superbike trophy after eight years of trying.
It was perhaps the perfect ending to the series that wrapped-up on the Cemetery Circuit, the closed-off public streets of #whanganui, with two #suzuki men claiming the Suzuki-sponsored series' two premier trophies: #suzuki also managed to snatch away the Formula Two 600cc class as well, with Auckland's Daniel Mettam taking his Team RCM #suzuki GSX-R600 to overcome a nine-point deficit and end the day as F2 class champion.
"After finishing ahead of Horst Saiger in the first race, it gave me a six-point buffer over him and so I backed off a little in race two, concentrating entirely on making sure I took the series crown. I just did what I had to do," said 34-year-old Frost.
"I ended up overheating the bike on the slow-down lap after race two and this meant I opted out of #racing in the Robert Holden Memorial Race."
For 19-year-old Mettam, it was a rich reward for his efforts after he had narrowly missed out on winning the class last season, settling instead for overall runner-up on that occasion.
"This is the first big win for me," said Mettam afterwards. "Now I'm getting ready for the nationals. I'm really looking forward to that."
