Ryan Farquhar had a good weekend at Oliver’s Mount. The Irish road racer took home four wins, including the Barry Sheen Classic Superbike Trophy race.
Farquhar rode everything from an XR60 1000cc Suzuki to a Kawasaki ER6 Supertwin, which helped Farquhar to set a new lap record during the Barry Sheen classic.
"It's been a good meeting for me today and although it's a shame the entry wasn't a bit bigger, you can only race who you're up against and I'm naturally pleased to come away with a number of wins and a new class lap record,” Farquhar said. “There were a few date clashes with the meeting namely Goodwood and Spa but it was great to have such fine weather and see a big crowd turn out to support the event.
“I couldn't fault the bike at all so I'm really looking forward to racing it at the Manx GP in August. I'd only taken my Supertwin with me and another two wins in that class was spot-on as we were close to lap record pace all day.
“All in all, it's been a good day so I'm going to enjoy the rest of the week before heading over to the Isle of Man on Saturday to prepare for the Southern 100 road races. I'll have a full compliment of machinery there so it will be a busy old week."
Farquhar will now head to the Isle of Man to defend his title at the Southern 100 on July 11th-14th.
