SP RACING - Our Story
SP RACING & TECHNICAL SERVICES LTD·TUESDAY, 23 APRIL 2019·
Forty five years of experience building racing cars, motorcycles and the engines within! Having rallied cars, competed in endurance racing of motorcycles both on and off track for over twenty years we moved onto drag racing motorcycles for a new challenge. Over a twelve year period we learnt, developed, built and race

d until we achieved six championship wins consecutively in the ACU UK Competition bike class. We now build and race bike engined powered cars in addition to maintaining our motorcycle roots. Servicing, upgrades, performance enhancements and complete engine re-builds either standard or modified to any performance level are our forte. We utilise all of that hard earned experience and knowledge to provide the best advice, engine builds and tuning services available to our customers.

So, the time has come to close SP Racing. It has been a brilliant time and I appreciate all of you business and support. I’ll still be looking after Ducatis and bussas for friends and family, but it’s time for holidays 😎
Good luck everyone 👍🏻

The Showa options are great units when performing as intended when new.

Ducati 996 with under 20k miles in for refurb. All of the valve clearances are out of spec, so I doubt they have been checked anytime recently. Quite a lengthy job - so I’ll replace all the camshaft bearings and oil seals while the cams are out.
The clutch is looking a bit ropey, so possibly a candidate for a slipper…
