Top Highlights from February

First up, we rolled out a fresh batch of high‑performance brake kits for classic British motorcycles. The kits include upgraded pads, stainless steel lines, and a quick‑fit guide that saves you time in the garage. Riders loved the easy installation and the noticeable drop in stopping distance.

Next, our gear review series featured the latest helmet from a UK‑based brand. We tested its ventilation, weight, and impact protection on a real track day. The verdict? Light enough for long rides, still super safe, and the price beats many imported options.

We also covered the biggest racing news of the month – the British Superbike Championship round at Brands Hatch. Our quick recap highlighted the pole‑sitter, the surprise podium finishers, and the parts that gave the winning bike an edge. If you missed the race, this recap gets you up to speed fast.

Lastly, February saw a limited‑time sale on vintage carburetor kits. The kits come with new gaskets, jets, and a step‑by‑step tuning sheet. Customers who bought them reported smoother throttle response and a boost in power.

Why is it called pole position in racing?

Why is it called pole position in racing?

Pole position is the term given to the car that takes the lead in a racing event. It is the most advantageous position to be in because the car has the shortest distance to the finish line. It is called pole position because the cars are lined up in order of fastest lap time on the race track, with the fastest car at the front of the grid or 'pole'. This positioning was first used in the Indianapolis 500 race in 1911. The driver in pole position typically has a better chance of winning the race, as they are at the front of the pack and have a clear view of the track ahead.

I want to start my own IndyCar team. How do I get started?

To start an IndyCar team, you must first understand the regulations and financial commitments. These include a minimum annual budget, a team manager and crew, and a driver with a valid IndyCar license. You must also create a business plan and secure sponsorship. Once you have the finances and personnel in place, you must register with IndyCar and submit your team for approval. Once your team is approved, the next step is to purchase cars and equipment and to begin competing in IndyCar races.
