Ben Wilson will return to the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship this season with a new team, running Rhys Irwin on a Suzuki GSXR 750 under his own brand, ‘Performance15’ when the season gets underway at Oulton Park on the Bank Holiday weekend (3/4/5 May).
After working together last season, Irwin will return in the class with Performance15, who will be backed by title sponsor Gearlink Ltd for the 2025 season.
Irwin said: "I’m absolutely delighted to be staying in the British Supersport Championship for 2025 with Ben. Last year I learned so much from working with Ben and from my first meeting with him and Michael their passion for racing and determination blew me away, so at the end of last season when this opportunity became a possibility I knew where I wanted to be.
“I know I’ve got a good bike underneath me, I trust Ben and I’m ready to get stuck in and do him and Michael proud."
Team Owner Ben Wilson commented: "I really enjoyed working with Rhys last year. I've never met a kid so hungry, hardworking, and determined as he is, and I really wanted to give him a shot. It's certainly not going to be an easy task, but I feel like I've built him a bike capable of winning. It's very stripped back. Our budget has gone fully on our bike, but I've always loved an underdog."
