Repli-Cast Racing have managed to complete their Christmas shopping early and have signed Nathan Westwood and Ian Lougher for the 2012 season.
Westwood remains with the team and will partner new-boy Tom Carne in the British 125cc Championship while Lougher, who has a long asociation with the squad, takes to the roads to campaign their 125GP bike.
"It gives me great satisfaction to know we have a full compliment of riders this year and all with the potential to win in their own disciplines. Nathan is the baby of the team and now he knows all the circuits and is at one with the bike, he will be a tough cookie to beat as his determination overstates his age and time riding a 125GP machine," said team boss Gary Dawson.
"We are very excited by the signing of Tom Carne as I’ve watched this lad from the sidelines for the last couple of years and he is a rider who will achieve the very top in this sport due to his input off the bike as well as on it. He is just a natural racer who in my eyes shows just what's needed in his quest to become British Champion.
"With the back up of the legendary Ian Lougher behind the youngsters (also our road racing pilot) I can see at last the team I have been trying to build over the last few years."
