Employment: Full time student taking a gap year. Currently trying to fund racing career

off a part time retail job at auto superstore Halfords.

History:

Freddy first started racing at the age of 9 when he entered his first kart race. He competed in a local grass and roadKarting championships where he managed to achieve the following:

East of England Grass Karting 70cc Champion 2003

Coningsby East Kirby Road winter 70cc Champion 2003/ 2004

Wisbech and District Grass Karting 70cc Champion 2004

Coningsby Grass Kart Club 70cc Champion 2004

Coningsby East Kirby Road winter 70cc Champion 2003/ 2004 East of England Grass Karting 70cc Champion 2004

Wisbech and District Grass Karting 100cc Champion 2005

East of England Grass Karting 100cc Champion 2005

At the age of 15, he decided to turn his passion into 2 wheel racing. Over the course ofthe 2005 winter and 2006 season he competed in the SEMRC Mini Moto Championshipsriding a Blata Elite 4.2 and later a ZPF 8.5 Production bike. He enjoyed riding these littlebikes and learnt a lot about riding on 2 wheels instead of 4. However he soon out grewthe little mini bikes and wanted to try his hand at something bigger.

The start of 2007, Freddy purchased a Jawa Rs Gp70cc race bike. He raced this bike in a mixture of Low Capacity RoadRace Club meetings and completed several track days at some of the countries larger karting tracks. He used the little Gpbike to obtain his ACU licence at Darley Moor, but more importantly learn how bigger tracks and paddocks function.


5/14

After out growing the tiny GP70 bike, it was time for him to step up tosomething bigger and better. He decided to race Formula 400s using anAprilia Rs250 250cc two stroke that he purchased in August 2007. Aftercompleting 2 track days at Donington Park, he entered his first Road Raceat Darley Moor aged 16 where he f inished the meeting as best New Comer

in his class. He later went on to finish off the 2007 season competing in theStars at Darley Moor meeting and doing several track days.

2008

Freddy competed in the Derby Phoenix F400/F250 Championship. Derby Phoenix is one of thelargest club racing championship in the UK. It has over 250 entrants at each meeting andhundreds of devoted fans coming to watch and cheer on their favourite riders. The

championship provides some fantastic entertainment and enjoys coverage through acommentary team at the meeting and features in the Bike Sport News newspaper after eachmeeting. The F400.F250 class was considered to be one of the most tightly contested of the

2008 season with full grids at all meetings. It isopen to any road production 400cc four strokemotorcycles or any road production 250cc two stroke motorcycles

The championship went to all the major UK circuits and had 16 days of racingon the calendar. Freddy turned up to the first race at Brands as a novice notwanting to get in anyones way. 2008 was competed on a very small budget ashe is studying for his A Levels, and with his income being low we expected theseason to be a struggle with results that could only match his budget,

However this wasnt to be the case, ever since the first round Freddy hasbeen impressive in his first full debut season as a novice. He has managedto win every novice race that he has finished and has been on the Formula250 podium at every meeting apart from one. Over the course of the yearhe has managed to make a positive name for him self within the paddockthanks to his fantastic results achieved on a 250 2 stroke against the fasterand more powerful 400s. A crowd pleasing riding style and the amount ofcorner speed that he carries has help him be impressive on an under

powered bike. He has even managed to win races in the open 400 class which is contested by Gp250 bikes with around

25bhp more than his Aprilia. Freddys performance early on in the season helped attract his main sponsor Grip N Rip Ltdwho has since been helping supply him with tyres and consumables. The year saw him improve at each meeting and gainrecognition with the series commentator and feature regularly in the local newspaper and occasionally the BSN. Hefinished the season on a high at Cadwell Park where he fought through a strong field to achieve four 2nds in F250 and two4ths in F400 on the f inal race day of the year and came to within 1 second of breaking the Derby Phoenix Formula 400 laprecord at Cadwell. He also got the prestigious rider of the meeting award.


6/14

Freddys fast natural ability to learn new tracks and his determination and hard work on and off the bike paid off in 2008as he has achieved the following:

F400 Novice champion

F250 Runner up Champion

F400 Top 5 overall

I am delighted at how this season has turned out. I started the year hoping to finish inside the top 10 in

each championship. So to achieve the results I have in this highly competitive series has been a great

achievement after an injury mid season looked like it may cost me dearly. I would like to thank all mysponsors for their help and support this year as without them this season wouldnt have been possible.

Big thanks go to Paddy at Grip N Rip, the boys at C&A Superbikes and to my Mum and Dad for all their

supportThe table below shows the results of the 2008 Season:

2009

The plan for the 2009 season was to carry on racing the Aprilia in the Derby Phoenix F400 Championship with the aim ofimproving on last years results by trying to win the overall championship. At the start of the season Freddy knew it wasgoing to be a tough as although he had spent all winter making big improvements to his 250cc two stroke Aprilia Rs250, Alot of highly tuned 400cc four strokes had entered the championship which all had on average 20bhp more than the 62bhp

Aprilia. The average grid size at each meeting has been around 30 riders so the competition was very tough.However throughout the season Freddy rode his heart out and relied on his riding abilities to achieve some fantasticresults on a bike that is way down on power compared to the competitors. The ability to carry immense corner speed keptFreddy at the front of the championship. At the start of the year Freddy managed to secure a new sponsor, Photobikes whois photographer who comes along to all the meetings and donates the money he makes selling pictures of the racing at themeetings to the team which we are all highly grateful off.

Here is an overview of the season in Freddys words.

NEMRC Round at Croft

I entered this race meeting to use it as practice before the Derby Phoenix Season started. Having never raced with theclub before, I turned up on the Saturday and qualified on pole and comfortable won both F400 races and set fastest laps ineach.

Round 1- Croft

Race 1- F400 1stplace F250 1stPlace fastest lapRace 2- 1stlap crash due to pushing the front too much to try and build a gap before the straight if not the quicker 400schasing me would fly past.

Race 3- F400 6th F250 3rd from last on the gridRace 4- F400 4th F250 2nd New F250 circuit record around croft.

Round 2- Cadwell Park

Race 1- crashed on lap 6 after working my way up to 3rdplace but got frustrated when the 400s I kept passing in thecorners, kept overtaking me again down the next straight. Made a mistake and crashed when I ran wide out of the mountainchicane and highsided on the grass.Race 2- F400 7th F250 3rd from back of the gridRace 3- F400 6th F250 2nd

Race 4- F400 1

st

F250 1

st

Won by 30seconds in a wet race which meant that the 400s could no longeruse their power advantage so came down to rider talent...

Round 3- Anglesey International-Left this meeting leading the f250 championship and second in the f400championship!

Race 1- F400 3rd F250 1stRace 2- F400 3rd F250 1stRace 3- F400 4th F250 1stRace 4- F400 6th F250 1st New F250 circuit record around Anglesey

Round 4- Oulton Park

Race 1- F400 6th F250 3rdDropped from 1stposition when gearbox problems started and had to nurse the bike home to 6th.


9/14

Race 2- Did not start due to an unfixable broken gearbox from the first race.

After a mixed start to the season, it was clear for all to see that Freddy was one of the quickest and most talented ridersout there on the F400 grid. Even 2 crashes in the opening two rounds did not stop Freddy from fighting back at Anglesey toreposition himself 2ndin the F400 standings and leading the F250 standings quite comfortable. However the Oulton Parkround did not go to plan when machine problems effectively ended the meeting and Freddys championship campaign. It

was a shame that machine problems hit mid season as Freddy was looking strong to challenge for both championships.However because he was no longer going to be racing the 250 at the last 3 rounds, this opened up some doors for Freddyto try his hand in the next class up.

For the final 3 rounds, I was lent a Honda CBR600RR to ride in the Formula 600 class. This is the class that I want toprogress to full time after a growing number of spectators and riders keep telling me that although Im one of the bestriders in the F400 class, the bike is holding me back and I will be much suited to a 600 due to my height and riding abilities.Having never ridden a 4 stroke bike before, let alone one with twice the power of my 250, this is how I managed to fair inthe final 3 rounds:

Round 5- Cadwell Park

Race 1- 10th

Race 2- 10thRace 3- 8thRace 4- 7th

It was a mega week managing to achieve top 10 finishes in all my races first time out on a completely new bike to me.Consistently getting quicker and quicker. Results are even more impressive when you consider I had to start back of thegrid because I was new to this class.

Round 6- Anglesey costal circuit

Race 1- Crashed out of 4thplace on the first lapRace 2- 5thfrom back of the grid whilst having to regain my confidence each lap

Bit of a disappointing weekend in terms of outright results. But if it wasnt for the crash, I had proved to myself that I amcapable of running near the front of this class and made a big improvement in bike set up and riding style since my firstouting on the bike

Final round of the year Cadwell Park

Race 1- 3rdRace 2- 3rdRace 3- 1stRace 4- 2ndScratch race for 600cc to 1000cc bikes- 1st

Amazing weekend. Manage to show that I can win on a 600, finishing on the podium in every race and winning 2 racesincluding a race against mainly 1000cc machines. Came away from the meeting as the overall formula 600 winner with thehighest points and thanks to these results on only my third time on a 600, I earnt myself rider of the meeting award. Mybest lap time was quick enough to easily qualify me for the national superstock 600 series at British Superbikes even

though I was riding a bike that is older and slower than those used at national level! It would have also been quick enoughto place be in the top two positions when the Triumph Triple Challenge competed at Cadwell earlier in the year.

Here is a copy of the brief write up for final round of the year that was feature in the local newspaper:

Cadwell Park Winner!

Young West Norfolk motorcycle racer, Freddy Pett (18) from Watlington competed in his final

race meeting of the Derby Phoenix Motorcycle Club Championship at Cadwell Park, Lincs. on

the 19th/20th September and he ended the season in style by winning the overall Formula 600

class on board a borrowed Honda CBR600RR5!

Freddy went into this meeting with very limited experience at racing 4 stroke machinery having

started the year racing a two stroke 250cc Aprilia. However he showed his talent by starting off

the weekend with two hard fought 3rd places in the Formula 600 class, the first of which he had

to fight for from a back of the grid starting position. Saturday evening then saw Freddy enter

into a scratch race against mainly 1000cc machinery to try and gain some more track time on the

bike, to the surprise of all the competitors, spectators and officials, Freddy dominated the race

leading from start to finish with a winning margin of over 3seconds!

Freddy carried on his winning ways to win the first F600 race on Sunday after a race long dual

with experienced Yamaha 600 racer Shane Colbrook. Despite his Honda lacking power against

the newer bikes he was competing against, Freddy managed to make some hard passes to get

him into the lead on lap 5. Freddy lead for the rest of the race whilst second place man,

Coolbrook fell in the later stages of the race whilst trying to keep up with the hard charging

leader. Freddy went on to enter the All Comers class for the Sunday which is mainly contested

by 1000cc bikes but he still managed to qualify 5th but decided not to enter the actual race in

favour of saving his bike and tyres for the main Formula 600 races.

The last race of the weekend saw Freddy once again in a two way battle for the race win.

Although freddy was putting in the quicker laps, his bikes lack of straight line speed and powermade it frustratingly hard for him to find a way past the leader despite his superior efforts on the

brakes and around the corners. After a last lap attempt of gaining the lead nearly ending in ahighside crashing coming out of Mansfield corner, Freddy had to settle for second place, 0.18

seconds off the winner. However, with two 3rds, a 2nd and a win, Freddy finished the meeting as

the top points scorer in his class and came away as the overall Winner much to the delights of

him and his team.

I am very pleased with how the final meeting of the year has gone. To come away winning the

meeting in only my 3rd attempt at riding a 600 is really special especially when you consider I

was up against faster and more competitive machinery. I hope these results have proved that I

am capable of being competitive on a 600 and will help me attract the sponsors that I amdesperately seeking to help me to compete in British Superbikes Junior Superstock 600 class

next year,. I owe a huge thank you to Nigel at Coastline Car Sales for the loan of his bike and

also to my other sponsors; Grip N Rip, C&A Superbikes and www.photobikes.com, all your

help is very much appreciated

2010?

What happens in 2010 depends purely on the level of sponsorship backing I can obtain in order to achieve my ambition ofcompeting and winning the 2010 Triumph Triple challenge. I have the determination and skills to be successful at BSB levelnext year. However to fulfil my potential, I am in desperate need of sponsorship to help me fund my step up from club level

to national level. I am going to need to raise 15,000 in order to enter the Triumph Triple challenge championship and afurther 5,000 for running costs throughout the year. (Please see separate information pack for further information onthe series).

Thank you for looking through my portfolio and The Triumph information pack. I hope it made some interesting reading andyou enjoyed and liked what you read. Im sure youll agree that the 2010 season is going to be very exciting; the triumphseries has the potential to provide huge rewards and benefits for both sponsors and my racing career. I am sure we canform a formidable partnership which will bring success to all those involved.

If you feel that you may be able to help me next season in anyway, please contact me so we can discuss how we could bothbenefit from working together.

RegardsFreddy Pett and Team
