Finley Arscott (24) from Lifton, West Devon has fast-tracked his way from first throwing his leg over a racing motorcycle only seven years ago to winning the 2020 Thundersport Junior Championship on a Yamaha R3. He has since backed this up in 2022 by becoming the No Limits Racing Pirelli Super Series 600 Championship riding the JR Performance Kawasaki 636.

2022 was also Fin's first full year in the premier Bennetts British Superbike (BSB) Championship paddock running in the Pirelli National Junior Superstock 600 Championship again riding his Kawasaki 636 for JR Performance.

Continuing in the same class for 2023 with a changing of machine to the MIH Solutions Hand Racing Yamaha R6, Fin's performance stepped up another gear to end the season in a very respectable 12th in the championship. This included a pole position at Brands Hatch final round and several top 10 finishes.

For 2024, Finley rejoined the JR Performance team once again in an exciting move that saw him compete in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship on a Honda Fireblade, where he finished as top "Rookie" in 13th overall in the championship and achieving several top tens including his highest position of P7 in the wildcard round at Silverstone with the MotoGP.

For the '25 season, Fin's ride on a brand new Honda Fireblade once again under the guidance of Joe Richardson and his team at JR Performance saw him finish a very creditable 7th in the championship. His standout performance came at Thruxton, where he not only secured pole position but also finished just off the podium in 4th, thrilling his home fans.

This 2026 season in British Superbikes, will see Fin aim for podium finishes on the Honda again with JR Performance. After a comprehensive training programme in Spain earlier this year, he's raring to go.

Finley has the talent, ambition, drive and desire to become a professional top-class rider. The televised Bennetts British Superbike Championship continues to assert itself as the greatest domestic bike series in the world and has produced some of sport's most successful riders.

This year's fundraising dinner will be held again at Lifton's Strawberry Fields and will present an opportunity for fans to meet motorcycling royalty Shane "Shaky" Byrne, Bradley Ray and Fin Arscott.
