Motorpoint partners with british superbikes for 2015

Motorpoint has extended its title sponsorship of the British Supersport Championship and associate sponsorship of the MCE British Superbike Championship into the 2015 season.

The UK's leading car supermarket has teamed up with series promoter MotorSport Vision (MSVR) for a fourth successive year to help raise Motorpoint's profile with fans of the biggest domestic motorcycle racing series in the world.

The Motorpoint British Supersport Championship continues to be one of the most exciting series within the overall MCE British Superbike Championship with the eventual winner Billy McConnell (Australia) only securing the title on the last race of the season in October at Brands Hatch in front of a bumper crowd of close to 50,000 people.

Once again, all 24 British Supersport races will be televised live on British Eurosport (together with extensive Superbike highlights on ITV 4). Over 10m people watched the MCE British Superbike Championship on the small screen in 2014.

David Shelton, Founder and Director of Motorpoint, said: "We are delighted to be continuing our long-standing support of British Supersport and British Superbikes into the 2015 season, and with it provide a platform for up and coming riders to launch what we hope will prove to be long and successful careers at the highest level within the sport."

Motorpoint is set to once again team up with Tommy Hill, former British Superbike Champion, founder of ImageDzign and most recently a BSB team manager, to create an exclusive limited edition t-shirt to giveaway to fans throughout the 2015 season.

Stuart Higgs, Series Director for MotorSport Vision (MSVR), added: "We're thrilled that Motorpoint has extended its partnership with us for 2015 and look forward to working with the UK's leading car supermarket to create another unforgettable Motorpoint British Supersport Series."

The opening round of the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship takes place only a few miles from Motorpoint's Headquarters in Derby at the world-famous Donington Park between April 4-6.
