A new team set up by former BSL team manager Dave Stewart will run riders Jay Vincent and Mark Willis in the 500cc Grand Prix World Championship, using SwissAuto/Elf/MuZ V-4 engines and a new chassis to create a machine called Pulse.

The new bike’s chassis is being built by Fabrication Techniques, the same company that builds the Proton (formerly the Modenas) KR3 chassis for Kenny Roberts’ team.
