Former Australian Supersport Champion Mitchell Carr will join Richard Cooper in the new look Anvil TAG Kawasaki MCE British Superbike line-up this season.

Carr lifted the 2012 Australian Supersport title during an impressive campaign, scoring wins in each of the 15 Western Australian state races. The 26-year old is another racer from Wollongong and progressed to the World Supersport Championship before securing his position in MCE BSB this season with TAG Racing.

The team have also announced a new title partnership with Burton-upon-Trent plant hire specialists Anvil Hire ahead of their ascendancy to the premier class.

“I am really looking forward to joining the MCE BSB grid as the series has always been a stand out for talent and to be surrounded by world class riders will be a great experience for me. The success of fellow Australian racers there has really inspired me and it is proven with history that we can compete on a World level,” said Carr.

“I raced in the World Supersport Championship and that was a very big learning curve, but BSB presents a whole new challenge, however I am ready to take it all in my stride.

“I am very confident that the Anvil Hire TAG Racing team will provide me with every chance possible and I have great aspirations for the 2014 season. I know I am with a competitive team; however I do not take my competition lightly.

“I am just looking to gel with bike and improve with every outing. It will be an awesome experience, the greatest of my racing career yet to date. I am ready to take it all in and race the season of my life.”
