Motorsport Vision, the firm behind British Superbikes, has announced plans to run a new race series aimed at novice racers and trackday specialists in a four-round series.

Run at Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park and Snetterton, it will comprise a 45-minute endurance race catering for riders wishing to race solo and a three- hour race for teams of two, three or four riders. Both races will have practice/qualifying sessions all taking place on one day to reduce overnight costs.

Bikes will be split into pre and post=Y2K categories as well as by engine size. To enter the series, each team must also have at least one novice rider who has competed in less than ten races. National and International licence holders will not be permitted in the series.

“Two years ago we launched the Car Trackday Trophy which has been an overwhelming success. We have introduced well over 100 new drivers into the world of competitive motor sport, many of whom have successfully graduated to other series and championships organised by clubs all over the country. Now we want to replicate this successful formula for bikes," said Club MSV boss Alex Baker.

"We have thousands of riders taking part in our trackdays each year and in 2010 the ACU issued Club MSV with the authority to administer ACU licence tests across the group of MSV circuits. With the introduction of the new series we’ll be able to help riders from the first time they ride their bike on a race track, through their race training and preparation, all the way up to being sat on the grid waiting for the lights to go out."
