The Relentless Suzuki team lived up to their name last weekend when Whitby in north Yorkshire played host to the final round of the Wulfsport British Masters Series.

Martin Barr, Scott Columb and youth rider Matt Burrows all achieved strong finishes, say their sponsor.

Riding in both the MX2 and MX1 classes, Barr and Columb faced a tough day but both demonstrated outstanding performances.

Barr rode to victory in MX, despite a slip over the ropes at the start of the race, while Columb finished a respectable seventh.

In MX1, meanwhile, Barr continued to lead but an early mistake led to the Irishman's relegation to second place at the flag and fourth overall in the series.

Columb again rode to a strong finish, ending the race in sixth place and the series in tenth.

Championship glory was reserved for the team's youngest member Matt Burrows, who took the 2009 MXY2 Championship with a comfortable 195 point lead over nearest rival Ryan McLean.

The three riders' sponsor Suzuki will no doubt be pleased with the results as they coincide with the brand's centenary celebrations.
