James Westmoreland will make a welcome return to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend at Donington Park (27/28/29 September), joining Team IWR Honda in the BSB Pathway class for the penultimate round.
Westmoreland has been a regular Bennetts BSB contender in the past, claiming a podium finish and being in Showdown contention. The Hull based contender has most recently competed in the FIM Endurance World Championship where he was a podium finisher.
Westmoreland said: “I am obviously excited for this opportunity to be back on the BSB grid. I have spoken to Ian from Team IWR for perhaps over ten years, but the stars never really aligned for it to happen until now!
“I am pretty familiar with the Honda as that is what I ride in the World Endurance Championship, although obviously it won’t be exactly the same specification but I am ready to just keep building over the weekend. I don’t have any real expectations, but I am looking forward to working with the team and improving throughout the weekend.”
