Danny Kent lifts the silver ware at Donington Park in the final race of round three of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship.

The McAMS Racing team and rider, Danny Kent grasped a podium finish in the final race of the weekend at Donington Park, concluding Round 3 of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship as runners-up in the series.

In the first of Sunday’s two races, Kent endured a difficult start, slipping as far back as seventh before settling into his rhythm. As the race progressed, he demonstrated a front-running pace yet again, making phenomenal progress through the field on a used tyre.

He soon latched onto the back of the leading pack but marginally missed out on a podium finish to cross the line in P4.

Kent set the fastest lap of the sprint aboard his Yamaha R1, earning a pole position start for the final 20-lap race of the weekend and putting himself in the best possible position to fight towards the front.

The final outing of the weekend followed a similar pattern for Kent, who struggled to stay in front within the early stages of the race.

Proving competitive yet again on a used tyre, he soon settled into his rhythm to up the pace and close down on the leading pack.

During an intense final few laps, Kent was tight on the rear of a podium finish and made several attempts to pass and maintain a position in third.

A last lap dice for positions between the leading four saw Kent enter into P3 for the final time, where he crossed the line to secure his third podium of his 2024 campaign. Kent’s podium also sees him lie second in the standings, just 13 points adrift of series leader Glenn Irwin.

The weekend at Donington Park was a successful one for Kent and the Yamaha R1-powered team. They head towards Round Four at Knockhill in a few weeks with a large degree of confidence in their ability to appear at the front.
