Former World Endurance Champion and Australian Superbike Champion Steve Martin will return as an ASBK Ambassador during 2016.

Martin commented on being able to give back to the sport he loves again in 2016, signing up as an official ASBK Ambassador and television commentator for this year’s series.

“For me to be ASBK Ambassador is a massive honour, because without the ASBK I wouldn’t have lived the life that I have which has allowed me to base my life around motorcycles and see the world,” Martin said.

“For me the ASBK was a stepping-stone to my overseas career and it really helped me develop. I want to be able to put back into the sport and see more athletes achieve their goals. I enjoy watching the young guys come through and developing and its always a great weekend that’s exciting and fun.

“The racing is exciting and competitive. One thing I particularly like about ASBK is it’s Australia-wide. One weekend you’re in Sydney the next weekend your in Perth. For me, I get to see the best racers in Australia in some of the best places around Australia.”

Martin will not only assist ASBK riders and athletes at the track, but will return as expert commentator for the ASBK television package this year, as well as participate in bike testing and promotional activities.

There will also be a chance to win a once in a life time ride with Steve Martin, former world champ committing to the 2016 ASBK Pillion Program.
