Former Irish Superbike and Supersport champion Brian McCormack will again line-up on the Bennetts British Superbike Championship grid this season with the new Roadhouse Macau by ON1 Racing BMW team when the season gets underway at Donington Park on August 7/8/9.
The team are now gearing up for their debut campaign in the series with McCormack who last raced in Bennetts BSB in 2008, and since then has competed back home in Ireland and the also in the major international road races in recent years. McCormack’s success on the roads include top 10 finishes in the Senior TT and since last year holds the record of ‘fastest ever ROI rider’.
McCormack said: “I’m both delighted and excited about this opportunity to get back on the BSB grid as it’s been 12 years since I raced there last and the quality of the field of riders is outstanding. With the team I have this year, the sponsors I have behind me and the group of people providing race support, we are going to go enjoy it and put in a good effort.”
John Dunne, The Roadhouse Macau by ON1 Racing Team Manager commented: “This is such a great opportunity that has presented itself for Brian and the team. BSB is such a prestigious championship and the depth of field in the Superbike class is second to none really and I’m thrilled myself to be part of it. The team of people we have managed to put together is really strong and there’s a great bond between all of us, it’s been a lot of work to get here, but I think we could raise a few eyebrows.”
