MV Agusta to race in the British Superbike Series
Discussion
Trackstar-Racing will be running The MV Agusta in the BSB Superbike class and the Supersports.
Trackstar-Racing have confirmed that they will be fielding a new and exciting team in 2007 in both the British Superbike and British Superstock Championships. Brian McCormack will race in Superbike, while Martin Buckles will take part in Superstock both on board MV Agustas.
The team will follow MV Agusta's current racing program by competing in the highly competitive Superstock Championship whilst also developing the 2007 F4 1000R machine in the BSB Superbike class.
Trackstar-Racing said, "We are very pleased to announce both Brian and Martin as our two riders for 2007. Martin Buckles has proved himself a very quick rider this season by finishing second overall in the Superstock Cup Championship. He has a lot of ability which we hope to help develop together, he has already had a session on the MV Agusta F4 1000R and put in quick times straight off the mark."
Buckles is more than happy to be riding for the well known Italian marque, "I am really happy to be given this chance to ride a full factory machine," he said, "I know there will be a lot of learning to be done during winter testing. I have full support from MV Agusta and Trackstar-Racing and we are very positive. I know the circuits and it'll just be a question of set-up and adapting my racing style a little before I'm at the front challenging".
They are also planning to enter the team into various Superbike and Superstock rounds of World Superbike and AMA Superbikes with Imola, Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Road Atlanta as their targeted races.

Rumour still has Hodgson on a Team Foggy bike, most likely a Honda.

He's been a bit quiet lately so maybe there could be an announcement soon.
