FIA/FIM Main Event 2026 ☀️🥵
32+ degree air temps, 130+ track temps made it very challenging for all race teams this weekend. A very strange UK weekend which will be remembered for a while.
Despite all this the 3 maltese teams still managed to put on a great performance.
In Top Fuel Bike, Glenn Borg placed up in a semi final finish against 5 second runner Gustaffson, after qualifying 4th with a 6.59 and 6.60, while also registering speed at 215mph. Team struggled with traction issues, a problem that challenged everyone this weekend.
Luke Farrugia’s weekend was a rollercoaster ride. After qualifying 2nd place in Top Fuel Bike being the quickest and also the fastest from the funnybikes, running 3x in the 6.4s with personal best runs both in ET and Speed at 6.403 and 217mph passes, a leak in the burnout ended his day early on Sunday.
In Superstreet bike, Simon Giordmaina started the weekend with a 6.85 at 220 in testing, showing big potential for more, but as everyone struggled in the heat that was not repeated in Qualifying. But on raceday everything lined up all together with a PB of 6.78 at 222mph right up in E1. Onto E2, team did the best they could but had to bow down to a world class performance by Dani Lecenses running all weekend in the 6.50s.
Congratulations to all teams for doing the best they could in these most extreme conditions, never even seen in Malta. Onwards and upwards for the rest of the season.
