RatMally Ambassador Nick Round fulfilled a lifetime dream by tackling the famous Billown Circuit for his highly anticipated debut at the Southern 100:

Arriving on the Isle of Man as a Southern 100 newcomer, Nick's primary goal was to find his feet on the ultra-fast, wall-lined public road course. Riding his trusty stock-specification Yamaha R6, affectionately known as "Steve the stocker," Nick absolutely excelled in practice to secure a spot in the premier Supersport A races, earning the chance to trade paint with the sport's biggest names.

The races could not have gone better for a debutant. Nick dropped his lap times consistently across the week, climbing up the order in every single stint to break into the top 20. He has officially caught the Billown bug and is already planning a return for 2027—now the hunt begins to secure the budget for a full-spec machine for next season!
