Cumbermack Joins Rokit Rookies for Championship
|
Jediah Cumbermack has announced his exciting move to the Rokit Rookies, a rider development programme competing in the British Superbike Championship support classes. In a social media post, Cumbermack expressed his pride at joining the team, describing it as an "amazing opportunity" to race in the British Superteen Championship against some of the best young riders in Europe. He added, "This is a blessing, and I am going to make the most of this opportunity."
The Rokit Rookies programme is the next evolution of the successful Affinity Racing Academy, now partnered with title sponsor ROKiT. Founded by former British Superbike champion Leon Haslam, the team will field 12 young riders across two support classes in the 2024 British Superbike Championship.
The team has a strong track record in the British Superbike paddock, embodying the Team Green philosophy by providing young riders with a professional environment for development. This approach has already yielded success, including a Junior Supersport title and, most recently, the inaugural Kawasaki British Superteen title. In 2025, the team will step up to become the official Kawasaki representative in the highly competitive Supersport class.

Barnes Secures 4th Consecutive SKUSA Winter Series Title
|
The 2025 Superkarts! USA Winter Series concluded its eighth season at the Orlando Kart Center with Round Four. 285 pre-registered drivers competed across nine categories for the championship titles.
In the Master Shifter presented by Velocity Racing by Sodi USA category, the spotlight was on defending champion Scott Barnes (Maranello USA), who had already won two races this season. He faced competition from Tyler Guilbeault (DRT / DR Kart) and Rene Martinelli (RRC / TB Kart).
Barnes dominated the lead-up to the final race. He set the fastest time in the Warm-Up (52.188 seconds) and Qualifying (51.136 seconds), both on his fourth lap. He then took the checkered flag in the pre-final, completing the eight-lap race in 7:01.877.
However, Barnes' hopes for a dominant weekend were dashed in the final. He was forced to retire with three laps remaining in the 18-lap race due to engine failure, despite holding a significant lead.
Despite the disappointing end to the weekend, Barnes' earlier performances proved decisive. "Unfortunately my motor locked up with 3 laps to go in the 18 lap race. I had a big gap to 2nd place too. Not the way I wanted to end the weekend but the main thing is we wrapped up the Championship yesterday. 4 years in a row in this SKUSA winter series,” Barnes told www.islandstats.com.
With three final wins and three pre-final wins across the four-round series, Barnes secured his fourth consecutive SKUSA Winter Series championship title.
Barnes concluded, "I just want to always thank my Team -Marenello Kart USA, Carlos racing Engines and my sponsors Butterfield & Vallis, Powerade, All Rise Bermuda."
