History:

 

Reece's racing career began when he was just 13 years old. After having spent most of his childhood in the paddack, Reece decided he wanted a go on the circuits. His first race meeting couldn't have gone better; winning his first ever race with the Preston & District Club definately gave him the bug.

 

10 seasons later, Reece is a multiple championship winning rider with numerous high profile race wins and lap records. In 2009 he finished 3rd in the Triumph Triple Challenge, racking up 13 podiums, many of them whilst competing in British Superbike Meetings.

 

After a relaxing 2010 & 2011 season competing in various one off races, Reece decided to tackle a new form of motorcycle racing known as Streetfighters. So in 2012, using a converted Triumph Daytona 675 which had been built from spare parts lying around in his yard, he entered the HEL Performance Streetfighers. He was an instant susccess! Winning 3 races in his first weekend, he eventually came to take the title for 2012 and again in 2013. He won a total of 33 races taking the two titles, breaking 4 long standing lap records in the process.

 

His success caught the eye of PRF Team owners and he was brought on board for the 2014 season. Initially a dificult transition back onto sports bikes, he eventually began to come into his own on the Suzuki GSXR 600. He finished 4th overall in the Formula 600 class with 6 podiums.

 

For 2015 Reece will be again competing in the Formula 600 class onboard the PRF Suzuki GSXR 600.
