Rory Skinner will be back onboard the BMW M 1000 RR in the 2027 ZYN British Superbike Championship after signing for Scars Racing, in the all-Scottish line-up for the team’s debut campaign.
Skinner is the most recent rider to score a race win onboard the BMW in the Championship at his home round of Knockhill, and has won races with three different manufacturers in as many years, including victory at Cadwell Park this year.
Skinner finished seventh overall in the 2026 Championship standings and is now eager to get started as the new era of BSB beckons next year.
Skinner said: “I’m really excited to be part of the Scars Racing BMW team for 2027, the opportunity Dale and Leigh have put together for myself and Tarran is great. To have Tarran as my team-mate, a former British Superbike Champion, he will bring some really good knowledge into the team which will give me a fantastic chance to learn and push myself harder.
“To have a full Scottish line-up in a Northern Irish team, it’s looking like its set to be a force to be reckoned with. I can’t wait to start testing the BMW M 1000 RR and see how things go but roll on 2027!”
