I have just had official confirmation in writing from Gary Dawson, that Replicast have been awrded the title sponsorship for the 2007 ACU MotoStar Cup 250 Grand Prix class. (This years ACU Star Series). Now that is good news in itself, but even better, Gary has secured commitment from some very big names in UK bike racing, (and I mean big), to join his team in the 250 series next year. Due to this years existing contractual issues, we can't name names until the current racing season is officially over, but Gary will make a further announcement, at the right time. I might add though, that being privvy to the information, I can say that this is a huge boost for the 250 class, and this championship, and I am genuinely thrilled for all concerned.

The icing on the cake for this bulletin though, is that Gary has secured a major sponsorship deal, from a large U.S. sponsor, (again, to be named later), who will be bringing riders over from the States to run in this series, and on into Europe. Yes lads, the Yanks are coming. I remember as a lad the Trans-Atlantic races from the early eighties, and think this will be another huge boost for the class, and this series next year.

Congratulations to Gary, and all involved at Replicast, for this great news. Lots of people have suggested to me, that what the GP250 class needs to thrive, is a dynamic, series sponsor, willing to put their hand in their pocket. Well here we have one. The profile of this series is rocketing, (Gary has seen a large increase in orders for 250 bodywork already), and I for one, am very excited about next year, and what this series will bring.
