The Triumph Triple Challenge Academy plays a key part in rider preparation, including training, diet, fitness, media handling and sports psychology. All these elements are what make up a truly successful rider hoping for a future in motorsports.
The lucky winner of the 2012 TCC will graduate to either the Junior Superstock (if under 26) or Supersport Cup (if aged 26-32). They will receive a fully funded race package from T3 Racing for the 2013 season, including: a fully prepared bike, entry fees and tyres/spares package, all delivered by the T3 Racing factory-backed team. If the winning rider is aged over 32, they will instead receive a Triumph Daytona 675R.
Tony Scott, director, T3 Racing- organiser of the TTC: “The Triumph Triple Challenge just goes from strength to strength and represents fantastic value for any rider serious about climbing up the competitive ladder towards BSB. 2012’s race series is already gaining a lot of enquiries from riders who watched the 2011 season unfold and have heard about the added value elements such as the Triumph Challenge Academy.”
Stuart Higgs, BSB series director: “We’re delighted to have the Triumph Triple Challenge at nine of our races during the 2012 season, underpinning its status as an official BSB Partner Series. The TTC operates in a tightly controlled environment as regards to technical controls which gives riders the confidence that quite simply it’s down to them.”
Guy Masters, general manager, Triumph UK: “After a successful 2011 for both Triumph and the Triple Challenge, we are again pleased to be supporting the series in 2012. The Triple Challenge is a key part of Triumph’s ethos of developing young British talent and provides a key stepping stone for racers aspiring to the next level of competition.”
