The precision engineering giant helping a British Superbike race team on the road to success

A British Superbike team is getting help from one of the world’s top manufacturers of precision sensors. Druck has struck a deal with family-run Hawk Racing to support its riders on the Bennetts British Superbikes circuit and international road races including this month’s Isle of Man TT.

In the 50 years that it has been going Druck – part of the Baker Hughes group – has built a reputation for developing and making some of the most precise pressure and temperature measurement technology in the world. Its components are used in the toughest of environments, from sub-zero to superheated temperatures and from hundreds of metres below the sea to the vacuum of space.

They take readings from components such as fuel tanks, braking systems and oil systems on anything from jumbo jets to oil rigs and chemical plants, power stations, race and rally cars, and racing bikes.
