Prodigy front man Keith Flint is set for a new gig in 2014 as he debuts his Team Traction Control in the 2014 Motorpoint British Supersport Championship with American young gun James Rispoli.

Flint, who has sold over 20 million albums worldwide with the band, has a huge passion for racing, competing himself at club level. Flint’s Team Traction Control now progress to the Supersport Championship after securing two Hottrax Endurance Championship titles before debuting in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 class this season with Steve Mercer and at the final round with Rispoli.

“The time is right now for us to move to this level and I am really excited by the whole thing. I have been a fan of the championship for several years and that is the foundation of why I started a team in the first place. The feeling of this announcement is like the first time that the band played at Glastonbury; it is the big time,” said the twisted firestarter.

“We have won back to back titles at club level in the endurance series and now it feels right to move to the next level. We want to be able to come out and fight for podiums, especially in this championship as I have followed it for over a decade. I have been a part of the paddock, watching the events but now it feels great to be part of it, rather than a musician spectating trackside. I am very passionate about the sport and now we can’t wait to get started next season.”

Rispoli added: “ I know it won’t be easy however I’m confident my team will do whatever it takes to make sure we have the best prepped equipment and testing program to get the job done. I want to thank team owner Keith Flint for believing in me and making this dream come true. I can’t wait to start testing on the track with the new bike, new crew and look forward to putting up a great result and an awesome show for all the fans.”

Mercer will ride on the roads for Flint's squad including the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT.
