Legendary team boss Colin Wright will return to the Bennetts British Superbike paddock at Knockhill as the new Halsall Racing manager.
The straight-talking ex-GSE man was introduced to team owner Martin Halsall by insurance salesman Neil Hogdson and the two hit it off straight away.
“I am very excited to be coming back to BSB, particularly now I’ve met Martin. It was all thanks to Neil Hodgson who introduced us, and to be honest I wish we’d done it sooner as I instantly gelled with Martin,” said Wright.
“He’s already got the infrastructure in place but I believe together we can really work hard and push boundaries with the Suzuki. For me, it’s a new challenge but I relish a challenge, and I now want to add Suzuki to the list of manufacturers I’ve won with.
“I’m delighted that Martin has given me the opportunity to return to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. I am confident that I can fulfil what Martin is looking for, and I can’t wait to get back into the paddock and start building what we believe can be a winning team.”
