Q8Oils supported Ryan Farquhar completed his record-breaking 2009 season with another victory, this time at Oliver's Mount in Scarborough, bringing his total haul for this year to 61 wins.

Riding in sunny conditions in front of a capacity crowd at the 2.43-mile public road circuit, Ryan was hindered by a hand injury picked up at this year’s Manx Grand Prix. Having won his qualifying heat race, Ryan led the first leg of the Superbike contest from start to finish, withstanding intense pressure from Ian Hutchinson and Guy Martin, who ultimately collided on the final lap. He followed this up with second place in the combined 400/Mini Twins race, although he was the first of the Mini Twin riders to finish, but opted out of the Supersport 600cc race in order to rest his hand ready for racing on the next day of the weekend.

Sunday's second Superbike leg started well, with Ryan leading in the early stages, but he couldn’t hold back Ian Hutchinson and Michael Pearson, eventually settling for third place on the podium, securing sufficient points from both legs to take the Darren Lindsay Trophy. However Ryan was forced to retire from the Gold Cup race, when he had a big moment on the exit of the Memorial while chasing race leader Guy Martin; “I headbutted the screen and hit my chest on the tank so I was fairly winded. I tried to continue but I was just too sore and decided to pull in."

Ryan will be taking a well earned break over the winter, although he will be contesting the 'Kings of Wanneroo' race in Australia this November. He concludes; “Thanks again to all the sponsors and team for their hard work throughout 2009, it's been a fairytale season and I'm extremely grateful for everything they've done."
