About Me Tom Weeden

Hi thanks for visiting my site! My name is Tom Weeden and I have been racing motorbikes since I was eleven. I was born in February 1994 and I go to Maidstone Grammar School. I started on Minimotos and now I am racing in the prestigious British 125GP championship.

In 2006, I rode as a privateer riding ZPF Minimotos. I won the S.E.M.R.C championship on my 4.2 MiniMoto and also came 3rd (missing 2nd place by two points) on my Production 8.5 bike.

In 2007 I rode Grc’s for Havoc Racing. In the 4.2, 6.2 and 8.5 classes. In 2007 I moved up to the senior class with riders much older and more experienced than me. Despite this I still managed to win the 4.2s, and came 3^rd and 4^th in the 6.2 and 8.5 classes.  I also moved up to bigger bikes riding a Jawa Gp 70. This I run at EMRA and A.C.U Dunlop Motostars Cup. Finishing 2^nd in EMRA and 3^rd in the ACU Motostars.

In the 2008 season I ran a standard Honda Gp125 in the Thundersport GB Club and the Emra Championship with some selected rounds with other clubs for extra practice. Before the season I expected a top 10 finish, but I exceed these expectations and finished 2^nd in the GP3 cup, 3^rd in the GP3 overall championship (inc. tuned bikes), 2^nd in the ACU Clubmans championship, and 4^rd in the EMRA 125gp class despite missing several rounds due to clashes with Thundersport. 

In 2009 I progressed onto bigger and better things. I made the move up to  the British 125GP series, in the Academy Cup and the overall championship. I rode under the Team Taboo Motorsport banner riding with team owner/rider Michael Hill. I finished 5^th in the ACU Academy Cup and scored several points in the main championship. A best finish of 4^th in the Cup and 11^th overall was a highlight of the year, however I also had success in the few Thundersport meetings I rode in. At the MotoGP support race at Donington I qualifying 2^nd in the wet and went on to finish 2^nd in the race. In the other Thundersport meeting we contended at Snetterton I finished 1^st,1^st and 2^nd.

My primary focus for 2010 will once again be the British 125GP Championship, in which I will be endeavoring to make frequent visits to the ACU Academy Cup podium and be a consistent top 10 runner.

We seriously need more money to keep up with racing as it is a very costly sport (last year the cost was over 30K) so if you wish to help out with my racing please visit the sponsorship page for more information.
