Croft 2026 was a weekend of progress, perseverance and unfinished business finally settled. Having never really had the opportunity to race Croft properly in 2025, Evan returned determined to make the most of the weekend. A gearing change during Friday testing unlocked immediate improvements, leading to his best qualifying result to date and a huge leap forward in lap times. The weekend wasn’t without drama. A lap-one crash in Sunday’s first race left the team facing a race against the clock to rebuild the bike before the final race. With only a couple of hours available, the bike was repaired, prepared and sent back out. Starting 26th on the grid, Evan fought his way through to another top ten class finish, securing the final signature required for his licence upgrade. Six signatures from six opportunities this season. A new personal best. Two top ten class finishes. And a Clubman licence confirmed. Not bad for a rider who only started riding motorcycles in late 2024.
