Prime Factors Racing have this morning announced they will join the 2016 MCE British Superbike grid but have yet to confirm riders.

The team run in both the blue riband Superbike and Pirelli National Superstock 1000 classes and managed by ex-rider Steve Plater.

Formed in 2014, Prime Factors Racing made an immediate impact when they secured the Sorrymate.com National Endurance Championship in their debut year. Eager to make an impression on the world stage, the team moved to the FIM Endurance World Superstock Championship for the 2015 season. Despite competing against vastly more experienced teams, Prime Factors were able to hold their own; securing a strong finish in their first 24 hour race, at Le Mans.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for everyone at Prime Factors Racing. BSB is undoubtedly the most relevant series in motorcycle sport, and with 2016 being its 20th anniversary it was a perfect opportunity to make our debut,” said Plater.

 We’re confident that with the calibre of riders we have, coupled with the support from BMW, we won’t be there to make up the numbers and our goal is to mix it up with the more established teams.”
