Donald returning to World Endurance with Honda TT Legends

Road race legend to focus on the World Endurance Championship for 2013.

Cameron Donald will remain with Honda TT Legends in 2013.

As the Honda TT Legends team prepares to enter its third year of competition, Honda Motor Europe has revealed a five-strong rider line-up for 2013 including Victorian Cameron Donald.

The team will once again compete in the Endurance World Championship as well as the Isle of Man TT and the North West 200 road races aboard the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade.

Nineteen-time Isle of Man TT winner John McGuinness, road racing ace Cameron Donald and 2011 fastest TT newcomer Simon Andrews will remain with the Honda TT Legends for the four-round EWC season.

McGuinness will be joined by 13-time NW200 winner and three-time TT victor Michael Rutter and three-time TT winner Michael Dunlop to form a three-man Superbike squad for the TT and the NW200. Rutter will also join the team to complete the four-man EWC rider line-up.

“I am excited to be part of the Honda TT Legends team for the 2013 EWC season,” Donald said. “Endurance has been a huge learning curve for me as its such a unique discipline of racing.

“I am confident that the 2013 bike, crew and rider line-up will be more competitive than ever and we’ll hopefully be ready to challenge for podiums from the first race.

“It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t be at Motorcycle Live to join my teammates today but I’m at home in Australia. I’m looking forward to seeing them all at the racetrack in 2013!”

Donald is currently in Australia for the summer during the off-season.
