MPS Racing

MPS Racing is a privately run team with the aim of bringing Junior riders to the World Championships, and give them the best opportunity and possibility of gaining top results.

The whole team works on a voluntary basis devoting their time and money for no other reason but their love and passion for the sport. Both Marnie and I devote 100% of our time and finances to supporting our race team. Our support team use holidays from work plus unpaid time off to help us, this dedication and enthusiasm earned us 2009 WEC team of the year.

Over the past four years we have assisted riders to two UEM titles plus one third and one forth placing at WEC level plus many British titles and race wins.

2010 is looking to be our most difficult season so far with manufacturers and sponsors cutting their support due to the financial climate, but we are more determined than ever to succeed and build on the experience gained over the past few years.

We have for next season a very exciting new rider who we believe has the ability and determination to be finishing top 10 in the junior class at World level also we have a 19 year old who will compete in the WEC youth cup and a 15 year old to ride in UK events our forth rider is still recovering from major shoulder surgery and will join us part way through the season all 4 riders we believe have the ability and personality to promote themselves and your products
