A host of British Superbike stars and World Supersport winner Sam Lowes have confirmed their entry for this year's inaugural Silverstone 200 set to run alongside the circuit's MotoGP event on the third weekend in June.
Lowes, who will be partnered by team-mate and Moto2 winner Jules Cluzel, will face stiff competition from Michael Laverty, Shane Byrne, Jon Kirkham and Stuart Easton while Gary Mason, Tristan Palmer, Luke Quigley, John Laverty, Florian Marino, Aaron Zanotti and the UK’s fastest female Jenny Tinmouth will be in the open-class mix.
Reigning Superstock 1000 British Champion Richard Cooper heads up a four-strong Oxford TAG Triumph line up alongside team-mate and former British Supermoto champion Christian Iddon whilst the entry is enhanced further by some of the top teams in the ultra competitive National Superstock Championship. Regular top ten riders include David Johnson and Josh Elliot (Carbontek BMW) and Lee Costello (Halsall Racing Kawasaki).
The two 16-lap races take place following the MotoGP qualifying session and races on Saturday and Sunday respectively, with free practice on Friday and the all important qualifying practice session on Saturday at 12.05.
