WORLD Supersport Championship stars Sam Lowes and James Ellison will be racing for glory at the Buildbase Race of the Year at Mallory Park on Saturday and Sunday 25th and 26th June. After a two-year absence the famous Race of the Year which has been won by some of the greats in motorcycle racing, is making a welcome return – World Superbike racer Tom Sykes won the last race in 2008. For 2011 a huge £20,000 prize fund is attracting some of the best racers in the world. Sam Lowes is the Parkalgar Honda World Supersport racer and reigning British Supersport Champion from nearby Lincoln who in his rookie year is turning heads with fast podium and race challenging performances.

The two World Championship racers will face tough competition from some of the best racers in the UK as a host of British Supersport and national level racers have signed up for the Buildbase backed event. Mallory Park Managing Director John Ward said: “Having two World Championship racers take part in the Buildbase Race of the Year is fantastic for us – these are big names on some of the best race bikes in the World.
