Few postcards from Donny of @eemelilahti who took a spin on the @samcoxracing Honda SuperStock for the weekend.
Pic 1 - Spoted the armadamarinecables boys watching on the other side of the track - thought it would be good to try and get Eemeli going past them. Genuinely, that's my first try. I stopped taking anything after that! 🙌🏻
Pic 2 - Thanks for the portrait buddy. I still think you could have done better with the pose though! 😂
Weather was a total lottery for race. Stopped for rain, it stopped raining, greasy track, and then it rained again on the warm up lap - those staying on slicks wanted the race stopped (although declared a wet race) and Eemeli dived in to change to wets which seemed the right call.
Amazing job by all the boys to turn around the wheel changes in EWC time - even TV evidence of @tom_wardy_21 putting a shift in with the spanners!
Super quick laps at the restart, but the gamble didn't pay off as the rain stopped and the sun dried the track out quickly. Still a mega performance from Eemeli though! And awesome teamwork from everyone 💪🏻

Mixed day for the @armadamarinecables team!
Great race this morning for @hmracing61 fighting with the front group the whole time, crossed the line in P7 showing what he can do👏🏼
Wild Superstock race this afternoon which started dry, @eemelilahti made a great start running in P3 before a red flag on lap 4 due to rain showers put a halt to the race. Race was declared wet and everyone went out on dry tyres as it was sunny again. Unfortunately on the sighting lap, it started chucking it down again so we made the call to go for wet tyres which seemed the best choice until lap 3 when it was dry again! Eemeli rode a great race and did all he could given the changeable situation, it was always going to be a gamble but we feel gutted we missed out on a potential podium!
Well done to the team for another solid weekend of progress 💪🏼on to the next one!
Thanks for all the support at Donington today and at home 🙌🏼

RACE 1 P15👎 LLP x2, bike wouldn’t start on the grid. Not the race i was hoping for after a great qualifying but sometimes it is what it is. I dropped back to 30th and made my way back through to 15th. I can’t thank the team enough for all the hard work they’ve put in so far. Let’s try again tomorrow ✊🏼
Qualifying ✅ P9 +0.800
Super happy with qualifying this morning, went out and improved my lap time massively straight away. Starting to make some really positive steps now so looking forward to the race at 14:30

Wednesday's only mean one thing... happy #WheelieWednesday folks! Here's Eemeli Lahti giving us a stand up wheelie at the end of Saturday afternoon's National Superstock FP2 session at Oulton Park 😎
🔥Excited to announce that i will be riding for @armadamarinecables for the 2026 season in the British Sportbike Championship @officialbsb . I can’t wait to get going this weekend for Round 1 to show what i can do and enjoy myself. Thankyou to @samcoxracing for the opportunity and everyone else who has come onboard to support me this year ✊🏼 📸 @really.not.photos
It was lovely to welcome Eemeli Lahti back to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship paddock for the final two rounds of the 2025 season, competing in the National Superstock class with Sam Cox Racing.
Eemeli immediately reminded everyone of his class and speed, securing pole position and a strong fifth place finish at Oulton Park, before delivering an outstanding performance at Brands Hatch with two podiums, including a third place in race one and victory in the final race of the season!
An incredibly fast and talented rider, and genuinely one of the nicest guys you could meet, it would be fantastic to see Eemeli back in the paddock where he belongs in 2026 🫶🏼
