Iain MacPherson is Scottish, & did very well in the Supersport class on his 600cc Kawasaki in '99 finishing second. He was on the improved ZX-6R in '00, & '01, but didn't do so well. Ho hum. I'd like to see him win as I have a ZX-6R. Andrew Pitt did win the '01 series on a ZX-6R.

Aaron Slight was second to his teammate in both races on the Castrol Honda bike. He rode the Honda VTR SP1 twin in '00, but was very ill for much of the year. They let him go at the end of the season, & he has been doing some touring cars I think?

Troy Corser jpg

Troy Corser was teammate to Carl, & rode the Ducati 996 in '99. He scored the same number of points as Colin Edwards, but had less wins in '99, & so was awarded third place overall. Troy was on the Aprilia RSV Mille in '00, & '01 It now looks like a contender. He is now in the new Foggy team.

All these pictures were taken by me during Friday afternoon practice for the '99 Brands Hatch W.S.B. round. They were taken using my trusty old Minolta X700 camera, & either a 210 zoom , or 300 telephoto lens on Kodak 200 ASA film. The prints were then scanned using a Black Widow scanner, & tarted up with Adobe Hotshots 2.0 software. I own the copyright on everything on this page, & if you want to pay me heaps of cash to publish any of it go on make my day. Copying for personal use is fine, but I would appreciate a link, & don't forget to state who has the copyright.
