TAS Racing along with title partner Tyco Security Products will join forces with BMW Motorrad for the 2015 MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship season, becoming the German manufacturer’s official representatives.

Tommy Bridewell and Michael Laverty will lead the team’s two-pronged attack in the MCE British Superbike Championship and the team will return to the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship with double British champion Alastair Seeley.

“It really is a great honour for TAS Racing to be chosen by BMW Motorrad to spearhead their official racing efforts in 2015 and everyone involved has been very supportive in helping us put the correct package together,” team manager Philip Neill commented.

“Although our agreement is with BMW Motorrad in the UK, the support we have received from BMW in Germany is already very encouraging. We will have full support from the factory both technically and personnel-wise next season to help us achieve our goals.

“We put a lot of thought into our rider line up for 2015 and as always the goal is to win races. We fully expect to be championship contenders in British Superbike and the National Superstock class next season racing BMW’s S 1000 RR.”

Lee Nicholls, BMW Motorrad marketing and PR manager, said: “It is with great pleasure that we can finally announce BMW Motorrad’s support of the TAS Racing team for the 2015 MCE British Superbike season.

“In 2014, BMW Motorrad had its most successful season of racing ever in the UK, which has enabled us to increase our support for 2015. The TAS Racing team will spearhead our assault and will receive the full technical support from BMW Motorrad Motorsports in Munich within the framework of the BMW Customer Racing Strategy.

“As a company we are very much looking forward to working with Hector [Neill] and Philip and his team and we are confident that together with the all-new S 1000 RR we will challenge for podiums and wins next year.”
