Super future for spectacular British Supersport Championship

Further to the announcement on the 1 September 2015, British Championship promoter MSVR has today (Wednesday) published the final technical regulations for the 2016 British Supersport Championship. Following a successful evaluation of the “EVO” subsidiary class over two seasons, which immediately brought the series into reach for teams and riders previously excluded on the grounds of costs, a modified version of these regulations will form the basis for the long-term, single British Supersport technical platform.

Series Director Stuart Higgs commented: “The all-action British Supersport Championship is critical in the progression path for rider development and the recent graduation announcements of Glenn Irwin, Sam Hornsey, and today James Rispoli to MCE British Superbikes are a testament to that. Earlier this year at Donington Park, Kyle Ryde immediately stamped his mark on the equivalent World Championship, scrapping with the regular riders in a debut wild-card ride, resulting in a podium finish, whilst we await news of certain career advancement from this year’s convincing champion Luke Stapleford.

“The decisive steps once again being taken by MSVR to safeguard the future of the domestic series with intelligent rule modifications will ensure a constant flow of riders from home and overseas enjoying racing in front of large, knowledgeable crowds and live television coverage of all twenty-four bar-banging races.”
