Remaining with the team for a third successive TT Races campaign, Arizona’s Pete Murray alongside sampling again the four lap Bennetts Lightweight TT, is additionally aiming to compete across all solo classes at TT 2019, excluding the innovative SES TT Zero class.
Joining improving Mountain Course exponent Murray as part of the teams TT 2019 venture, is South Africa’s leading International Road Racer AJ Venter.
An event returnee last year, former British Supersport Championship competitor Venter has proven on more than one occasion his potential on the fabled Mountain Course, and will no doubt prove one to watch in this June’s Monster Energy Supersport, Bennetts Lightweight encounters.

Commenting on the teams ambitions for the season ahead, VRS Racing Team Owner Robbie Silvester stated: “Hoping for Dan (Fernandez) and Brad (Vicars) to be on the podium at the Manx. AJ (Venter), would be nice to see him clinch top ten finishes in the Junior TT races, and be near the sharp end on the 650. Would love to see Pete continue to grow as a TT rider, and for all of them to have good safe runs.”
