Ben Currie aiming for solid results at Snetterton this weekend
I'm really looking forward to heading down to Norfolk, as Snetterton is a track where I've had many good memories over the years. I took my first British race win at Snetterton some years ago now, I think it was 2015, in a hard-fought battle against Tarran Mackenzie. So, I've always had really good feelings going there.
I love the Snetterton circuit, and it should really suit the Ducati Panigale V2’s strengths. Can’t wait to arrive and get working hard with my team as usual and getting that first practise underway on Friday.
Hopefully we’ll have a little bit more stable weather than Knockhill, and we can get down to some really fast lap times. The main goal is to get two solid results and keep this British Supersport championship rolling.
“I got to know Ben through Martyn Edwards, Chairman of the Ducati Owners Club GB, and Ash Edwards at Ducati Preston. It all came about through a conversation after I’d been on a track day in Spain with some of the BBS riders in attendance.
I instantly liked Ben. He’s a great lad and very down to earth, and a fellow Liverpool fan as well. Sponsoring Ben’s racing has given me bit of a buzz, and can sometimes be a helpful distraction away from work.
As for his prospects this season, I have no doubt he will retain the number one plate. He had a bit of bad luck at Knockhill, but got through the weekend there with a healthy bag of points considering the start he had in qualifying.
An ankle injury means I might not get to the circuit this weekend to watch the action in person, but it goes without saying that I wish Ben all the best at Snetterton come the weekend.”
