Focused Events, one of the largest track day operations in the UK and Europe, has partnered with GBRacing to protect its fleet of track day hire bikes in the event of a crash. Focused Events, which deals with more than 30,000 track day customers annually and is the leading provider in the UK, chose to switch to GBRacing engine case covers and crash mushrooms after sampling the product and seeing the crash benefits, we recently visited the GBRacing factory to see what they do - link at the foot of the article.
You will now see GBRacing engine case covers and exclusive FIM/MCRCB approved crash protection products on the track bikes Focused Events offers – everything from Ducati 1198s to Yamaha R series, Suzuki GSX-R series, Honda CBR series, KTM RC8s, BMW S1000RR, Kawasaki ZX series and Triumph 675s amongst others.

Featuring engine, generator and pulse case covers, as well as paddock bobbins and a lower chain guard, GBRacing protection is made from super-tough purpose-engineered nylon to offer maximum protection to your motorcycle in the event of a crash. The material is specially designed to cope with high impacts and to protect the engine in an accident. The covers are bolt on so can be fitted in minutes and are both oil and scratch resistant so they keep their appearance-enhancing looks.

Computer designed and manufactured in the UK, the GBRacing protection is both FIM and MCRCB approved for racing and is the acknowledged leader in crash protection in all the major race paddocks from MotoGP, through WSB, BSB, the Isle of Man TT and Club level at Thundersport GB. GBRacing's Graham Banks said: “I am delighted to be in partnership with Focused Events – it is one of the best track day companies in the UK and many of its customers ride their bikes to the limits. They are the ideal customers and users of GBRacing products because in the event of any accident we will help protect their bike and save them money on repair bills.

GBRacing is already used widely by all the major racing teams and this is our first partnership with a track day company based on product performance – this will allow more people to witness first-hand the benefits of GBRacing protection products.”
