Rising star Fenton Seabright returns to Thruxton Circuit

Fenton Seabright, 23, is chasing the British Sportbike title as the championship heads into its final rounds.

He is currently second in the standings and returns to Thruxton Circuit this weekend for the first time since 2018, aiming to strengthen his challenge.

Mr Seabright said: "I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the bike at Thruxton.

"It's a fast-flowing track that I haven't ridden in seven years, so I'll be using every moment in practice to relearn the layout and get comfortable."

Racing with a small, family-run team, Mr Seabright has already claimed two wins and a second-place finish in 2025.

He credits his mother as a driving force behind his career.

Mr Seabright said: "The last thing I promised her was that I'd make her proud and never stop trying. She's the fire behind my eyes – always."

He began racing at age 11, despite his mother's initial reluctance.

He said the journey back into the championship has not been easy.

Mr Seabright said: "It's been tough coming back into the championship with a small team, but to be second right now shows all the work we've put in is paying off."

His first victory of the season at Knockhill was especially meaningful.

Mr Seabright said: "It was a long time coming, and it meant a lot.

"So much work goes on behind the scenes – from myself, the team, my sponsors, and my family.

"It was a proper battle, and it always feels good when you're the one to come out on top."

With five rounds remaining, Mr Seabright remains focused on the title.

He said: "The goal is to claw back as many points as possible and go for the championship – and enjoy every minute of it."

The British Sportbike Championship takes place at Thruxton from Friday, August 8 until Sunday, August 10.
