Aaron Zanotti has confirmed he will be back to contest the 2013 MCE British Superbike Championship with a one-man team.

Zanotti, who was a long-term wildcard in 2012 under the Elite Teams rule, has a full testing schedule planned starting in the New Year and the team are expecting to take a step up the results pecking order next season.

“Last year we were caught on the back foot with a last-minute entry and we only finished building the bike during free practice at the first round and didn’t get to go testing at all,” said Zanotti.

“We are on top of our game now. We’ll be fielding a Suzuki GSX-R1000 again next year and we are already working on the bike to make a whole raft of improvements.

"I can’t wait to begin testing, kicking off with Cartegena. The bike has so much more potential than we were able to unlock this year. I know we can finish in the points consistently so that’s my aim.”
