IT was certainly a more positive weekend for the Gearlink Kawasaki team as Mason Law returned to form with a podium finish among his results.

In round seven of the Dickies British Supersport Championship at Brands Hatch, Law had a strong weekend with fourth and third place finishes, while he failed to finish the other race.

Law came to his local circuit full of confidence and was eager to prove a point and get some good results and he was pleased with his weekend’s work.

“It was another testing weekend with a few problems that caused us to lose some time and also a race result,” said Law. “Once again everyone backed me, I would like to thank Frank Wrathall this weekend for building a new engine for me.

“It was good to be back on the podium and hopefully keep some of the doubters quiet. The Supersport races this weekend were mental, they all seemed a bit scrappy and no one was really settled into a rhythm it was all a little crazy.

When the red flag came out today my team made a small change which solved a problem that I have been struggling with all weekend and it made a huge difference to my riding style.

“I would like to have one problem free weekend and get the results I believe we deserve. Thank you to everyone in the team and all the people that make it possible. It hasn’t been easy up to now but hope this will be the start of the consistent podiums.”

After a few problems in the practice sessions, Law was able to pull a result out of the bag in qualifying and put it on the front row in third place.

After lap one of the opening 12-lap race he was fifth and then dropped back to seventh. The safety car came out but Mason was able to make some progress when the car came in and tucked in on the back of the leading pack. He pushed hard and ended up in fourth place.

For race two he started from fourth on the grid, once again he struggled off the start and lost some places in the first few laps. He worked hard to keep pushing forward and was looking set for a certain fourth place when sadly he had a technical problem on the final lap forcing him to retire.

Law was eager to make amends for Saturday and get another positive result in the main race on Sunday. For this race he started from fifth place and gained a place after lap one, the race was red flagged on lap four after a crash and re-started over 14 laps. On the re-start he got off the line well and was in a battle with David Allingham in the closing stages for a podium place and he was able to make a strong pass on him to secure another third position.
