If you want to find out the latest news from the Monster Energy Motostar British Championship, Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship, Metzeler National Superstock 600 Championship, Ducati 848 Challenge, Triumph Triple Challenge and Eastern Airways British Sidecar Championship then read on!

Monster Energy Motostar, Final qualifying

Defending champion Kyle Ryde took pole aboard his Metmachex SHR Wilson Craig Aprilia with a best lap in 50.120s in Saturday's session and that put him 0.403s ahead of Bradley Ray riding for SP125/FAB Racing. Ryan Watson set the third best time on the Appleyard Macadam Seel with Luke Hedger fourth on the FPW Honda. Jordan Weaving and Philip Wakefield were well on the pace, marginally faster than series newcomer Hafiq Azmi, but rain during Sunday's session spoiled the chance of any improvement for any of them.

Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship Final qualifying

David Johnson, riding the Carbontek BMW, starts Easter Monday's opening round from pole position, having recorded a best time of 47.416s in the second, dry session. Alongside him will be Jimmy Storrar who was the fastest in his group with the grid being decided on the basis of alternate positions due to the differing weather conditions between Saturday and Sunday. Jason O'Halloran, Samsung Honda, and John McGuinness, Padgetts Honda, complete the front row of the grid. Danny Buchan, Josh Elliott, Steve Brogan and Jonathan Railton are on the second row.

"Shoot-out" race: Joe Burns earned his place in Monday's championship race as he eased to comfortable victory by 6.446s, ahead of Daniel Fowler with Dan Stewart third. Patrick Medcalf held onto fourth, just as Leon Hunt and David Ferns ran within half a second of him.

Metzeler National Superstock 600 Championship, Final qualifying

Johnny Blackshaw put his Smiths (Gloucester) Racing Triumph on pole for the opening round with a best lap of 48.562s, but he was only 0.026s faster than Tommy Dale riding the Haribo Starmix Triumph. The Moto-Breakers Yamaha duo of Jake Dixon and James Lodge complete the front row. Josh Wainwright, AP Kawasaki, Tim Hastings, MWR Kawasaki, and the Seton Tuning Yamaha pair of Bjorn Estment and Ben Burke start from the second row.

Ducati 848 Challenge, Sunday race

Mike Edwards took the victory in a race stopped just as he was into his seventh lap due to an oil spill around much of the circuit by another competitor. Edwards had left throughout in a race that ran the opening three laps under the control of the Nissan GTR Safety Car as several riders tumbled in separate incidents. Dijon Compton took second place ahead of Mike Dawson, Ben Field, Robbie Brown and James Folkard. The result was declared after six laps, with half points awarded.

Triumph Triple Challenge, Sunday race

Rob Guiver made a winning debut into this series after several seasons in British 125GP as he led throughout the 14 laps, taking the victory by a little over four seconds from Tom Hayward.

Hayward, third for the first two laps, found a way ahead of Philip Atkinson next time around and then eased a two seconds advantage. Atkinson then came out on top in a three way dice for the final podium position, finishing ahead of Tom Weeden and Piers Hutchins.

Eastern Airways British Sidecar Championship, Sunday race

Roger Lovelock and Rick Lawrence made the decisive move with a couple of laps remaining to take the opening race victory ahead of the Birchall brothers Ben and Tom by a little over six seconds. Scott Lawrie and James Neave took a distant third ahead of John Holden and Andy Winkle. Reigning champion Tim Reeves, passengered by Ashley Hawes, led the early stages of the race, but the Birchalls nipped ahead, and in his efforts to regain the advantage Reeves spun at Clearways, rejoining to finish seventh.
