Keith Farmer is hoping his maiden British Superbike Championship po♔dium won't be his last after breaking his duck at Brands Hatch.

The former National Superstock 1000 champion made his BSB debut with the🧸 title-winning Rapid Solicitors Kawasaki team, scoring a best finish of fourth place in his maiden campaign.

A switch to the privateer PR Racing team over the winter has seen Farmer produce some encouraging speed, though his best r🍃esult of the year coming into the BSB weekend was just 14th. and after a DNF in race one, he only started race two in 21st.

Despite this, tricky wet-to-dry conditions saw Farmer make impressive gains through the field, following eventual race winner Josh 🀅Waters and battling with Richard Cooper to post an impressive third place finish, much to his delight.

"After a frustrating weekend with no rear grip, it feels great to🎃 have my first podium in BSB. After a poor qualifying session and a retirement in race one, we decided to change the swing arm for race two, which cured the issue.

"After the last few rounds a P3 finish is a great pick me up and I am looking forward to be back out at Thruxton." On the weather conditions he added. "I like racing in the wet, but the conditions in race 2 were w🔥et and dry.

"I settled into the race and saw Josh making a few moves and he stayed onܫ so I thought we could have a 🅘go too." He concluded. " I am happy as it is my first podium and hopefully we can have a few more this season."
