Team Repli-Cast have opened announced their final team line up for 2012 and are pleased to announce that Nathan Westwood will stay with the Team alongside partner Tom Carne in the British 125 Championship.
Westwood first joined Team Repli-Cast in the 2011- a season which resulted in some very impressive results for the young rider. He truly proved himself, with his best result a 7th overall place at the newly structured Snetterton 300 circuit.
Also signed by the team is Ian Lougher, who will take on the road circuits aboard the team Repli-cast/RCS 125 machine. Lougher is famous for numerous victories throughout his racing career.
Gary Dawson, Team Manager: “It gives me great satisfaction to know we have a full compliment of riders this year and all with the potential to win in their own disciplines.
“Nathan is the baby of the team and now he knows all the circuits and is at one with the bike he will be a tough cookie to beat as his determination overstates his age and time riding a 125GP machine. We are very excited by the signing of Tom Carne as I’ve watched this lad from the sidelines for the last couple of years and he is a rider who will achieve the very top in this sport due to his input off the bike as well as on it. He is just a natural racer who in my eyes shows just what’s needed in his quest to become British Champion.
“With the back up of the legendary Ian Lougher behind the youngsters (also our road racing pilot) I can see at last the team I have been trying to build over the last few years. I’d like to thank everyone around me who have made this happen and assure you all this is the year when I can honestly say we have a fantastic chance at each series and so look forward to our testing campaign early into the New Year. We would also like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a safe and rewarding New Year.”
Nathan Westwood: “Wow, what a season 2011 was…….. I’ve learned on a new bike, met some amazing people and got to know a Team I will never forget about, for giving me the opportunity of a life time.
“I am officially continuing with Team Repli-cast in 2012 and I would like to say a huge thank you to Gary Dawson and the Team for once again giving me another year in BSB and I will not let them down as I am beginning to train harder then ever to become a stronger competitor for the 2012 season Thank you again everyone at Team Repli-Cast.”
