  4. Ace Cafe T3 Racing Team at Donington this weekend!

    Posted on

    Rob Guiver looks for a top ten finish at Donington Park

    After their best finish of the season at Cadwell Park, the Ace Cafe T3 Racing team are moving the goal posts and aiming for a top ten finish.

    The team are now leading the Cup class by 56 points and are in a strong position for the rest of the season. Combined with two top 12 finishes at Cadwell Park and the knowledge that he broke the lap record at Donington Park in the Triumph Triple Challenge last year, confidence is running high.

     Guiver spoke to us about his aim for the weekend:

    “I’m looking forward to Donington, I love the place and after a good weekend at Cadwell I’m hoping to build on that and hopefully be able to fight for a top ten finish! My aim is to win the Cup race too, just keeping my fingers crossed that the rain stays away!”

    There was a new found confidence from Guiver at Cadwell Park and it was reflected out on track. The team have been working hard to find the winning formula for him and it has paid off. Team Principal of the Ace Cafe T3 Racing team Tony Scott commented:

    “We’ve been working so hard this season, at times it felt like it was one step forward three steps back, but to see it all come together has been fantastic for all the team. We knew before that a top twelve finish was possible but the way Rob’s riding and the way the bike is going, I think he’s definitely got a top ten finish in him.”

    Guiver will be out on track for the British Supersport races at 15.40 on both Saturday and Sunday. You can see more of the team by dropping into the Ace Cafe T3 Racing awning or check out the races live on Eurosport 2.
