The Wellington native debuted in
the New Zealand Superbike series
this season finishing a creditable
sixth in the standings and also
chalked up his first ‘big bike’ win
at the legendary Cemetery Circuit
on his Carl Cox supported Suzuki
GSX-R1000. He also rode a Katana
at Sydney Motorsports Park
International Festival of Speed
taking the overall title, for the
second consecutive year.
Lawrence travelled to the UK to
ride the Katana at Donington Park
for the first time on August 7, 2018
to get a feel for the machine before
setting off down Bray Hill for the
first time at the ‘Classic’!
