Former MSS Kawasaki team-mates Gary Mason and Simon Andrews have been re-united for the 2012 British Superbike season and will race together until the PR Kawasaki banner.

The pair were team-mates in Nick Morgan's team in 2010 with Andrews taking a fourth at Croft while Mason got his first BSB podium at the Yorkshire track last season for the same team and followed it with another at Brands Hatch. Andrews raced with PR in 2011 until his big crash at Snetterton and is looking forward to returning to the team.

“I am really pleased to be staying with the team for 2012 on the Kawasaki UK supported ZX-10R. Until the accident last year, all our planning and development was coming together really well, as we had regular podium finishes. Not finishing last season has made me more determined than ever, as I feel I have a point to prove," said Andrews.

Mason added: “I have known PR Racing for a number of years, so when the opportunity to ride for the team became available, I was delighted to take it. The energy, enthusiasm and passion for success in the team are really high. I know with that commitment and the right backing, we will do well on the track. 

"Both Simon and I are old-school riders. Not having traction control and other complex electronics controlling the bike suits our riding style. As a rider, you should feel the bike and know when to push. Our wealth of knowledge and experience on the Kawasaki will be a real advantage. This is an exciting time for the championship and we cannot wait to be back on the track in preparation for the start of the season.”
