Carl Cox Motorsport has confirmed its place on the 2026 WorldWCR grid, with Avalon Lewis remaining the team’s sole rider.

CCM first joined the WorldWCR grid within the WorldSBK paddock in 2025 with Lewis, and the partnership will continue into next season, the third year of the Women’s Circuit Racing Championship, after taking a best result of fourth in 2025.

“I first met Avalon many years ago at the track in New Zealand, and even then I could see how much she cared about her racing,” said Carl Cox.

“My love for motorsport has always been about backing good people, not just fast ones, and that’s what Carl Cox Motorsport is built on. 

“Avalon is both. It’s an honour for us to support her in 2026.”

For Lewis herself, it remains an oddity for her to be backed by Cox.

“Carl [Cox] was always around the track and he’s just the nicest guy you could ever meet,” she said.

“He literally beams when you talk about motorsport and loud, fast things, which is probably

similar to me.”

Lewis added: “I feel like a super-uncool mum who races motorbikes and somehow I’ve got this legendary DJ backing me. 

“The biggest thing is that Carl and the whole team genuinely believe in me. They’ve seen what I can do, and that belief helps me find the confidence you need to race at this level.”

As in 2024 and 2025, the 2026 WorldWCR season takes place only in Europe, making travel a difficulty for the Australia-based Kiwi.

“Travel is a massive challenge,” she said. “The calendar is more condensed this year, but it’s still a huge amount of flying between Australia and Europe.

“But I’m proud of our little Australian-New Zealand squad. We’ve made big sacrifices to make this possible, and that makes competing on the world stage even more special.”
