Martin Halsall and team-manager Jack Valentine have moved from Kawasaki to GSX-R1000 power for the 2015 MCE British Superbike series with backing from Suzuki GB, taking over where TAS Racing left off.

The team has already taken delivery of 2015 GSX-R1000s and will commence development, with the assistance of Suzuki Motor Corporation, in the new year and is set to announce its rider line-up over the coming weeks.

“It’s fair to say that this deal is like coming home for me. I know the team at Suzuki well and I also know what the GSX-R1000 is capable of. We have a great team of engineers at Halsall Racing and with the support of Suzuki and the knowledge I can bring from my previous experience, I’m confident we can hit the ground running at the start of the season,” said Valentine.
