Bradley Ray Signs Buildbase Suzuki For 2019 BSB Season
Buildbase Suzuki has announced that it has re-signed Bradley Ray for 2019, the popular youngster set to spearhead Suzuki’s assault on next year’s Bennetts British Superbike Championship.
Ray represents one of the championship’s hottest talents and one of the UK’s brightest racing prospects, and has impressed fans and pundits since his ascension to the British Superbike class in 2017.
Joining the Buildbase Suzuki team as a rookie, he took a maiden podium at Oulton Park in his debut year. A year later, the 21-year-old has taken two race wins and added more podium finishes to his tally; and in just his second season in arguably the toughest domestic Superbike series in the world, secured his position in the BSB Showdown this year.
Ray also enjoyed a successful outing with the Yoshimura Suzuki team at the prestigious Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance World Championship finale in Japan in July this year, helping the team recover to 10th after dropping to 48th following a crash. He also scored points as a wildcard in his debut World Superbike outing at Donington Park.
Bradley Ray: “I’m really happy to be staying with the team and with Suzuki for another year. I’ve got a great relationship with everyone and we enjoy working together, and that should only give us a head-start next season. This year was only my second year on a Superbike and the second year of development for the new GSX-R1000, and we’ve won races, been on the podium, and made it into the Showdown, so we can only be happy with that; and I’m confident that will continue next season. It was good to have everything signed and agreed nice and early. We’ve now got one round to go and I can focus on my riding and to try to finish the season strongly at Brands Hatch.”
Steve Hicken – Buildbase Suzuki Team Manager: “Continuing our association with Bradley next season is really important for us. Like many, we recognised his talent early on, and when he was in the Supersport class two years ago, we wanted to get him onto a Superbike as soon as possible. He’s one of the most natural young talents in the country, so of course we’re really excited to be able to announce that he’ll again be on a Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000R for a third season in 2019. While we’ve got one round to go, and are aiming to finish the season strongly, having everything signed and confirmed means we’ll be going into the winter with a clear focus on building for a title assault next year.”

The GSX-R1000R Buildbase Suzuki replica – along with the standard GSX-R1000R – is available on Suzuki’s current 2,3,4% finance campaign, which allows customers to choose from two, three, or four-year deals, an APR to match, and whether they’d prefer PCP or a hire purchase agreement.

Bradley Ray finishes on top after battle with Brookes for Snetterton pole position
Bradley Ray saved his best for last in the Datatag Qualifying session at Snetterton as the Buildbase Suzuki rider snatched the top spot from Josh Brookes on the final lap of Q3 to celebrate his second Bennetts British Superbike pole position of the season.
Glenn Irwin had initially set the benchmark after the opening flying laps in Q3 but the Be Wiser Ducati rider was toppled by Brookes as the McAMS Yamaha rider topped the times, however seconds later Ray had moved ahead by just 0.136s.
Ray’s last lap attack left his rivals with no time to respond as he set the pace for the first time this weekend, with Brookes celebrating his first front row start of the season ahead of Irwin.
Jake Dixon and the RAF Regular & Reserves Kawasaki team head the second row for tomorrow’s opening race ahead of championship leader Leon Haslam and Dan Linfoot, who returns from injury this weekend.
Luke Mossey starts from the third row ahead of Danny Buchan, who had topped the final free practice session, and Michael Laverty who completes the top nine for Tyco BMW.
Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Snetterton, Datatag Qualifying:
Bradley Ray (Buildbase Suzuki) 1m:46.632s
Josh Brookes (McAMS Yamaha) +0.136s
Glenn Irwin (Be Wiser Ducati) +0.244s
Jake Dixon (RAF Regular & Reserves Kawasaki) +0.274s
Leon Haslam (JG Speedfit Kawasaki) +0.471s
Dan Linfoot (Honda Racing) +0.706s
Luke Mossey (JG Speedfit Kawasaki) +0.828s
Danny Buchan (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +0.987s
Michael Laverty (Tyco BMW) +1.314s
The next round of the 2018 Bennetts British Superbike Championship take place at Snetterton on June 15/16/17. For more information visit www.britishsuperbike.com
Bradley Ray (Buildbase Suzuki) Pole position rider “In qualifying you sort of grit your teeth and do the best lap you can. I had done two 1’47.5s laps and I knew that wouldn’t be enough for pole as in Q2 I’d gone quicker.
“I knew I had one last chance to improve my lap time so I just braked as late as I could in every corner and hit every apex and luckily it was a fairly strong lap.
“Shakey did a 1’46.0 last year so I wasn’t too sure if it would be pole or not, but I knew it was a strong time, it was the best I had on the day and if the others could beat it fair play to them.
“It’ll be a difficult race, but we’ve had good pace all year. I need to try and stay out of trouble in the early laps, use my head and be consistent and we should be OK.”

Bradley Ray & Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000 Debut at Donington WSBK
Buildbase Suzuki’s Bradley Ray will make a wildcard appearance in the World Superbike Championship this weekend, when the series arrives at Donington Park for the UK round on May 25-27th.
Ray – who did the double at Donington Park earlier in the year at the opening round of the British Superbike Championship – will return to the Leicestershire circuit in a bid to make his mark on the world stage. It will also be the first time the new GSX-R1000 has raced in the World Superbike Championship.
Bradley Ray:
“It’s going to be good for us to have a run out at the World Superbike round. It’s more track time and a chance to get some more miles under our belts, but also a chance for us to show our potential against some of the world’s best. The bike will be as we race it in the British Championship, as that’s ultimately the bike we race every other weekend and the bike we want to develop and improve, but we should be able to give a good account of ourselves while improving our package further for when we return to British Superbike action. But of course, I’m looking forward to showing what we can do.”
Steve Hicken – Team Manager:
“We’re looking forward to making an appearance in the World Superbike Championship. Hopefully we’ll have a few good practice sessions and then get to showcase Brad’s, the team’s, and the GSX-R1000’s potential on the world stage, coming away with two strong results. We’re up against stiff competition but it’ll be a good weekend for us to learn even more. It’s more bike time for Brad and more track time for us to continue developing and improving things for when we head to Snetterton in June and return to the British Superbike Championship.”
