Dunstable racer Dan North is the new ACU Thunderbike 500 champion. After a fiercely contested season featuring packed grids of Honda CB500s at every round, he secured the title by just one point in the final race at Donington Park. With all bikes being very closely matched, having the best equipment is crucial, and North says he is thankful for the support he received from several well-known industry brands, including Venhill and LS2.
As the cost of racing continues to increase, sponsors’ support is essential. It keeps riders racing and helps keep brands prominent in competitors’ and spectators’ minds. North is set to receive his trophy from the ACU at Motorcycle Live and is already preparing for the 2026 season.
Any brand interested in discussing partnership opportunities with the team for next year can contact North at [email protected].
