Frazer Lysaczenko Beats Bob at Brands Hatch!

Lamonde Automation Supports the Beat Bob Challenge with £500 Worth of Wera Tools

The challenge was simple - Beat Bob! But as anyone familiar with Bob Collins and his racing exploits will know, that is often easier said than done! The Beat Bob Challenge at the British Motorcycle Racing Club's (Bemsee) final round of 2026 at Brands Hatch gave rookie competitors the opportunity to beat Bob's rookie 600 record of 49.074 seconds, set in 2003, with an impressive prize pot valued at £15,000 adding a little extra incentive!

Several riders were up to and up for the challenge. However, ultimately, it was Frazer Lysaczenko, who rose to the occasion and successfully beat Bob Collins' 2003 lap record at the iconic Kent circuit, with an incredible lap time of 48.946 seconds. With the pressure on and bragging rights at stake, Frazer delivered the performance needed to claim victory in the challenge, earning himself not only the satisfaction of beating Bob but also a the fantastic prizes on offer.
