Scott Smart's Moto Rapido Ducati team have received much-needed additional backing from Firestar Energy for the rest of the 2009 Metzeler National Superstock 1000 season.

The drink, a powder that you take without water, is a slow-release product which contains 200mg of caffeine which is absorbed by the body over up to four hours.

“We are delighted to have Firestar on board. Securing extra funding for a team is always good news, but what makes this particularly interesting is that like us, Firestar is a new company that shares our drive, ambitions and enthusiasm," said team boss Wilf Moore.

“Of course these are tough times but there are still plenty of ways to make sure that the British Superbike Championship and its support classes remain at the forefront of promoting exciting new products and technology.”
