Divine Looks Back at his Season
|
The 2024 R&G British Talent Cup has officially ended with Aeziah Divine reflecting on the season in a post on Social Media.
Divine said, “My season ended with my Mortimer Racing teammate Lucas Brown taking the championship. Congrats on an incredible season!
Despite disruptions at the beginning of my rookie season, I’m proud to have completed 5 of the 8 rounds and made the most out of every minute.
It took a lot coming into BTC while living between Spain and the UK, recovering from a severe hand injury from last season and getting up to pace with new teams, different bikes and the national paddock, but even though there were a lot of challenges, I had an amazing time and can’t wait to return in 2025 with all the insight and experience gained.
I’m looking forward to a strong off-season to continue to build on my racecraft and fitness. Each round revealed strengths and areas to focus on so we’re excited to work with the best people to get me there.
I want to thank Baldolini 25 and Matt for the encouragement and guidance throughout the season, my friends and their families in the paddock who looked out for me, and all my supporters who believe in me.
I wouldn’t have started this year at BTC if it wasn’t for John Cresswell and the Microlise Cresswell Racing team. I will always remember John and am grateful to him for making me feel comfortable and setting up the opportunities he did. Special shout out to Asher Durham for his support all season.
After not having a ride for Snetterton, we’re so thankful to Mortimer Racing for giving me the chance to compete the following rounds with them to continue my season. I received a warm welcome from the beginning and they gave me a great bike and the support to push forward. I really enjoyed learning from Lucas, Alexander & Charlie and appreciate everything that the team did.
I want to say a special thank you to everyone who made it possible for me this season - my parents, brother and sisters, it’s a big sacrifice to be on this journey. It wouldn’t be possible to race without the support of my sponsors and the Bermuda Government’s Department of Sport and Recreation so a massive thank you to them.
With everything I have learned this year and what I’ll be working on over the winner, I can’t wait to be back out and fighting forward!”

Divine Misses Out on R&G British Talent Cup Raceday
|
Aeziah Divine announced it is tough to have to announce that I will not be competing at Oulton Park in the R&G British Talent Cup.
Divine posted on social media, “We wanted to say a massive thanks to Mortimer Racing - Victoria House Academy for the opportunity to be a guest rider with them for the past three rounds and for helping to keep me in the class for the majority of the season.
BTC has been an incredible environment to learn and progress in while taking my first step up to the Moto3, helping me gain confidence racing at this level, and getting comfortable with many of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship circuits.
We’re working hard behind the scenes to pull together more resources to keep going at this level, which may mean we turn our attention to preparing for my 2025 season sooner than we originally planned.
It is a big short-term disappointment to not be out racing but we’re happy with my progress so far this year and we’ll take the positives from all that I’ve been able to do this season and will use all the insights gained to fight further up the field the next time back out.
In this sport, things can change from round to round, so we’ll see how the next few weeks pan out and take it from there.
Thank you to all of my sponsors who are so supportive and help me to continue this journey forward in the sport. It’s been such a valuable year and we will continue to build from here.”

Barnes Reflects on 2024 Stars Championship Series
|
The 2024 Stars Championship Series came to an end for Scott Barnes. It was Barnes’ first year racing Stars, first time to 3 of the 4 tracks and he had blast.
After brining you Barnes’ daily results, today we bring you comment, Barnes posted on Social Media.
Barnes wrote, “Stars runs a first class series for sure, highly recommend!
Although we had to settle for 2nd in the Championship after one DQ for rain tires in Indy, and had to settle for 2nd in Night Fight Saturday in North Carolina after getting spun from behind in the final, thanks Scott Presti, we still had a good season.
I picked up a bunch of wins including 2 of 4 finals wins and an Overall win, beating all the KZ’s with our 6 HP less ROK motor. We hung with the KZ’s all year on the ROK Power and put up good fights.
Congrats to Matt Machiko and Mike Rivera on their Championships. If it wasn’t for the rain tire DQ the championship was mine.”
