The firm behind BSB, Motorsport Vision, has announced plans for a new four-round race series aimed at novice racers and track-day specialists.
The prospective series will comprise of a 45-minute endurance race to cater for solo and a three- hour race for teams of two, three or four riders. Both races will have practice/qualifying sessions which will take place on one day to reduce costs for competitors. The series will run at Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park and Snetterton.
Alex Baker, Club MSV boss: “Two years ago we launched the Car Trackday Trophy, which has been an overwhelming success. We have introduced well over 100 new drivers into the world of competitive motor sport, many of whom have successfully graduated to other series and championships organised by clubs all over the country. Now we want to replicate this successful formula for bikes.
“We have thousands of riders taking part in our trackdays each year and in 2010 the ACU issued Club MSV with the authority to administer ACU licence tests across the group of MSV circuits. With the introduction of the new series we’ll be able to help riders from the first time they ride their bike on a race track, through their race training and preparation, all the way up to being sat on the grid waiting for the lights to go out.”
