Aussie Jason O'Halloran is determined to race to a podium result this weekend at Croft.

Australia’s Jason O’Halloran is eager to make amends for missing out on the podium at Oulton Park’s British Superstock 1000 round, determined to push for his first victory of the season with the HM Plant Honda this weekend at Croft.

Former Aussie Supersport champion O’Halloran raced his Superstock-spec Fireblade to second at Brands Hatch’s season opener before claiming fifth at Oulton Park, but he believes the Croft round is an opportunity for him to bounce back to the rostrum.

“I am looking forward to Croft as I feel that we need to make amends for not finishing on the podium last time out at Oulton Park,” O’Halloran said. “The HM Plant Honda team have been making some changes between the rounds so we are where we need to be come next weekend.

“We need to be back on the podium again and fighting for that win like we were at Brands Hatch so we will try and rectify that for sure.”

Team manager Havier Beltran is also confident O’Halloran can get the job done this weekend following a promising season to date.

“Croft is always a key round for the team as this is the local round for our title sponsor HM Plant and we obviously want to put on a good show for them, as always,” he said.

“In the Superstock class Jason had a solid weekend at Oulton Park, but was disappointed with fifth so he is looking for nothing less than a podium finish on Sunday.”
