Scottish teen Andrew Smyth is set for his debut in Pirelli National Superstock 600 in 2021 after competing in Hel Performance Junior Supersport for the past two seasons.

The 17-year-old apprentice engineer is full of excitement and enthusiasm to get the season started at a later date of May this year.

“After having two seasons on the Kawasaki Ninja 400 I feel I am ready to progress into a higher class. I look forward to the challenges I will face as I will be learning a lot this year,” he said.

“Already there have been few challenges, the change in my fitness regime being the most difficult, especially with lockdown restrictions,I have had to change my routine, incorporating exercises to build muscle as the 600 is a completely different bike to handle as I already learned with a bit of track time.”

Smyth isn’t alone on his transition moving up to Superstock 600 with good friend and mentor Keith Farmer whose help has been phenomenal as well as father, Kenny, who putsi n a lot of time and effort behind the scenes.
